My Life in Lockdown - A Creative Competition for All Ages

We&#39;re delighted to announce the launch of our new community website. <a href="https://www.creditoninandaround.co.uk/">Crediton In and Around</a> . It&#39;s there to support our fantastic community as we adapt to the strange new world of Covid-19. We hope you like it! Have a look and tell us what you think by emailing <a href="mailto:info@creditonheart.org?subject=">info@creditonheart.org</a> . Better still, send us your listings or blogs. Details about how to contribute are on the site.During our consultation last year people told us that they wanted a community website to promote local groups, businesses and events. So we set about fundraising to achieve this. We had just reached our fundraising target in February when Covid struck. So, as shops closed and events were cancelled, we rapidly adapted our plans. Instead we have designed a site to promote how our amazing local businesses are adapting, as well as to share advice, ideas and stories during these unsettling times.We are also using our social media channels to support and inspire you, so please follow us on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Creditoninandaround">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/creditoninandaround/">Instagram</a><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco,w_1024/v1589629899/projects/creditonheartproposals/104f54b3-b441-4be3-86b5-08e69bf59bfa.png" />

New Community Website Goes Live

Crediton is growing, and the many community groups and initiatives that give Crediton its heart will need to meet this challenge. Consultations with 28 local groups revealed was much interest in a new building for community, cultural and business use. Share your views on what you would like to see!
