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 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.
Useful information
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.
