CAG Devon are excited to be working with on a new five year National Lottery–funded project designed to inspire more people across Devon to get involved in fun, accessible sustainable activities and events.

As part of this work, we’re launching a county‑wide survey to hear from people who live and work in Devon - especially those who aren’t currently involved in sustainability projects or events.

We want to understand:
✨ What kinds of activities appeal to people
✨ What barriers might be stop people taking part
✨ How we can better promote events to reach new audiences

💬 We’d be incredibly grateful if our wonderful CAG network could help spread the word - by sharing the survey on your social channels, in local Facebook groups, parish magazines, or anywhere else that might reach people who wouldn’t usually see it.

🎁 To encourage participation, there’s a £50 voucher up for grabs!
🗓️ Survey closes: 3rd May 2026

Thank you so much for your support. 💚

Fortnightly Man Down Torrington meet up taking place at the Bickford Centre this evening (Thursday 15th January), 7pm.

A lot of men think mental health support is only for when things have hit rock bottom.

The truth is, many of the lads who come along simply want connection… a chance to talk, listen, and spend time with other men who get it 🙌

Life changes as we get older. Kids grow up, work slows down or changes, friendships drift, and before you know it things can feel a bit quieter than they used to.

Man Down is a place to sit with a brew, have a chat, share a laugh, and talk about real life - no pressure, no judgement.

And it doesn’t stop at the weekly/fortnightly meetings 💪 Once you’ve been along to Man Down, you’re invited to join the Man Down app. Giving you a space where you can connect with other men who share your hobbies and interests. Whether that’s walking, fishing, running, DIY, music, or just getting out for a coffee, it’s about finding your people again.

Man Down isn’t about labels. It’s about belonging.

If you’re a man looking for good conversation, genuine connection, and a welcoming group of like-minded men, you’ll be made very welcome.

Let’s talk about it
