What a lovely day in Sidmouth yesterday 💜
I went along to the Health & Wellbeing event and came away with so many ideas — but more importantly, lots of new connections and some really interesting conversations.
I met practitioners working across all sorts of areas of physical and mental wellbeing, and we talked about different groups within our East Devon communities, where the gaps are, what support is missing and what individuals might genuinely benefit from.
There was also lots of interest in the new Community Interest Company we’re currently exploring in Exmouth, with a strong focus developing around physical wellbeing, mental wellbeing, connection and community.
What yesterday really reinforced for me is just how much knowledge, experience and passion we already have locally. We don’t need to reinvent the wheel — but there may be some brilliant opportunities to bring individuals together, identify the gaps and create things around what our communities actually need.
So, if you’re a practitioner in East Devon, have an idea you think could make a difference, or you can see a group or need that perhaps isn’t being reached at the moment, please feel free to drop me a message.
It doesn’t need to be anything formal — I’d just love to have a chat, hear what you’re seeing in your community and explore whether it could fit with the direction of the intended CIC.
Lots to think about after yesterday! 💜
