Launching Our Annual Review 2024/25
We hosted an event to celebrate the impact of more than £2m in funding for Devon’s community groups during 2024/25.
A Day of Community Visits with the Sedel-Collings Foundation
Trustees from the Sedel-Collings Foundation joined us for a day of visits to some of the local groups our partnership has helped to support.
A Refreshed Approach to Grantmaking
We are further streamlining our approach to making grants, with the aim of making it easier for groups to secure funding.
Supporting the Supporters
Over the last six months we have distributed more than £80,000 through our Supporting the Supporters programme. This funding went to charitable organisations to support the wellbeing of staff, volunteers, and trustees.
Food, Fuel and More
This winter we have distributed more than £200,000 in grants to groups supporting people who are struggling to afford food, heating and other essentials.
Food for Thought: Small Grants Celebration
We celebrated the small grants we awarded as part of our Food for Thought project, connecting young people and food producers.
Batsworthy Fund Update
We are pleased to share that we can now offer small grants up to £5,000 from the Batsworthy Cross Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund.
Introducing Our New CEO
We are delighted to announce that Mary Hancock will be joining us as our new CEO from 24th February 2025.
State of the Sector – Our First Findings
Last year we launched a State of the Sector survey aimed at registered charities and social enterprises in Devon. Our first release shares data from the survey and draws out some of the immediate insights.
Small Grants Update
We will be pausing applications for Small Grants from midday on Thursday 19th December 2024 until further notice.
