What's Happening in Bovey Tracey

Newsletter 9 December 2025

Newsletter 9 December 2025

Dear Community Hub members,

Thank you for your support this year.

The website continues to grow and develop mainly due to input from you.

We are still working on how the site works and looks, especially on mobile devices. Thanks to Phil Carrodus, I have been able to pass on suggestions to the Website designer to help improve the experience for all users.

Phil is also busy adding keywords so that the on-site search facility can identify posts for those seeking specific information.

Lisa continues to send me posts from Facebook that I might have missed, and I expect that in the New Year we will be able to focus on even more local businesses to help identify what is on offer in Bovey.

These 2 two volunteers have been able to make such a difference to the growth of the website. Each works to their own strengths and have already contributed much behind the scenes.

If you would like to be a part of this exciting project then please drop me a line…even if you aren’t sure what you can offer, I am happy to chat things through with you to uncover your special skill!

I am also always happy to receive information about classes/events and groups that happen in Bovey Tracey and reviews which help to reveal the great things that surround us.

 

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and I hope that your New Year starts as you would want.

Helen.

If you think you could help with just one of these then I would love to hear from you! Or any ideas you might have about how to improve things. hello@boveytraceyhub.co.uk

Thank you for reading this.

ps. if you have signed up to receive the newsletter, you will receive a version of the above very soon.

Better Places Supermarket

On Tuesday the 26th November we are proud to have launched a new Bovey Tracey Social Supermarket!
A place to get lots of affordable food for £4.50!
Help with the rising cost of living as well as reducing food waste.

It’s a first come first served system and we have no idea how many of you will come along, so please bear with us whilst we work out how much stock we need each week.
There will be a free table for donations too so if you need to clear space in your cupboards you know where to bring your unwanted food!
Please come and support.
Open from 3pm every Tuesday.

Bickington Community Fridge

Don't be confused (like I was!)...the community fridges in Bovey and Bickington are for everyone to use. Their purpose is to save food waste, not necessarily to save money (although it does do that too!). Pop along to your local community fridge and have a look. You will find food which should still be edible, within it's 'use by' life and still be great to consume.

Teignbridge Community Project

Do you fancy taking part in some projects/activities with us?
If you would like to try your hand at some starter level activities such as; textiles, baking, arts & crafts, wood work, gardening, digital skills, hair & Nails, candle & jewellery making. Then we have all of the resources to facilitate that for you.
We offer it all in a really positive and relaxed environment.
You can book 1hour sessions at £10 per hour at times that are convenient to you. Please drop us a message if you would like to come and have a look around before signing up.

Better Housing Better Health

Better Housing Better Health (BHBH) is a not-for-profit service run by the National Energy Foundation, working to help residents living in or at risk of living in fuel poverty to access advice and support.

We are a service that is free of charge and open to all residents experiencing issues with keeping warm at home.

As part of our service, we have a helpline that’s free to call where our team can give valuable tips on how to stay warm at home, help to arrange free home energy visits, sign up those in need of additional support to the Priority Services Register and access grants for energy efficiency measures. We understand the physical and mental effects of living in a cold home, and we feel it is more important than ever to ensure everyone is living in a warm and happy household.

We also have emergency fuel vouchers worth £49 to assist residents who use a prepayment meter – these must be accessed via a support organisation such as yourselves.

We also work with numerous local authorities to manage their ECO Flex applications and have the security of our well-established Supplier Network, which makes up a list of certified and experienced installers.
