ARE you looking for a new challenge in 2021? How about joining the Crediton Heart Project, the local charity which created the Crediton In&Around community website?

The charity is looking for enthusiastic people to help it develop this unique resource and work on other projects that will help keep the heart in Crediton and the surrounding villages.

Do you have experience in website management, social media or advertising? Or do you have expertise in building development or planning?

In the medium to long-term, the charity hopes to fund and build a new facility or repurpose an existing building, with room for community activities, cinema, theatre, events and small business units.

In 2019 the charity commissioned a Feasibility Study which can be read on the website. Viewers can also take a look at the charity’s Project Plan and see what is involved.

In a Covid world there is great uncertainty, a lot to think about and some re-assessment to do. We are all moving into uncharted territory.

Perhaps there are innovative solutions which would help our communities in the short-term?

A temporary structure to host events in a safe way, mobile touring facilities or resources to support local groups to put on events. Working with local partners is essential. Do you know about fundraising, consultation and publicity? Could you help develop these ideas?

The charity is looking for trustees to join its board and help run it. It is also keen to recruit associates to its various working groups.

If you feel enthusiastic about the charity’s projects and want to turn the challenge of Covid into an opportunity, please contact the Chair, Rosemary Stephenson, to arrange a chat by emailing her at: [email protected] .
