This platform is a free community platform for anyone wanting to share or find information about activities, events, volunteering opportunities and conversations across Devon.
It's also a social networking platform for you to connect and collaborate around the things that matter in your community.
The platform is managed by DeVA partners and Torbay Community Development Trust, with new partners welcome to join.
As partners, we have come together to build on our experiences in the voluntary sector. Each partner supports communities in their respective areas - ensuring content is relevant and up-to-date and that local residents feel supported.
Our vision for this platform is to provide all communities in Devon with the means to grow and flourish.
Our aim is also to bring organisations across Devon together, to foster a culture of collaboration and resource sharing, so that we can reduce social isolation and improve access to opportunities.
Connecting Devon is for people all ages:
Devon Connect is a community hub — not just a place to read information, but a space where people and groups actively connect, collaborate and support each other.
Here are the benefits:
Information on Devon Connect is posted by the community for the community.
Devon Voluntary Action partners are responsible for moderating content and approving local listings, events, volunteering opportunities and job vacancies sumbitted by the community.
Our administrators conduct an initial review before activities are published on the platform, however, we do not independently verify or monitor providers against minimum operating standards.
Your participation in any listed activity is at your own discretion and risk.
The administration team reserve the right to reject, edit or remove postings that do not adhere to the Terms of Use and acceptable use guidelines.
Within this platform you can access activities and members that are local to you.
