If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at economy.doingwhatmatters-mailbox@devon.gov.uk<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n The Council\u2019s community strategy recognised four key priorities by which it wanted to lead and collaborate in its work with local people and communities:<\/p>\n In order to meet these priorities, the council has established three new funds for people, communities and the local organisations that support them, to bid for, to effect change and improve wellbeing for people across Devon.<\/p>\n It is anticipated that these funds, alongside a range of matched funding from local people and partners, will support local projects and initiatives.<\/p>\n Each year the Council will highlight a key local priority, around which bids will be particularly welcome.<\/p>\n Currently, bids to understand and address loneliness and isolation across generations and communities in Devon will be prioritised.<\/p>\n The Council\u2019s funding will be used alongside its wider funding and delivery of key services to improve wellbeing for people and how our communities collaborate and co-exist.<\/p>\n The Council hopes to support bids that help people to build relationships and connections locally, across all age groups, help people become more physically active, take notice of their local environment or to develop opportunities for culture, creativity or learning, to support giving across local people and communities, including volunteering, and to make people feel safer locally.<\/p>\n The Doing What Matters (DWM) Community Grant Fund has been designed by the Devon County Council Business Support and Innovation Team in conjunction with the Communities Team to support not for private profit organisations to deliver projects which meet the strategic aim of the DWM Scheme. This is one of the funds outlined above.<\/p>\n More information, including how to apply, is at Doing What Matters Grant Fund<\/a>.<\/p>\n Daisi<\/strong><\/p>\n Arts partnerships<\/td>\n Significant Seams<\/strong><\/p>\n Bringing Communities together via \u2018Craftfulness\u2019<\/td>\n Double Elephant Print Workshop<\/strong><\/p>\n Kick Start Your Creativity<\/td>\n Developmental art-making programmes for mental health service users who will be new to printmaking.<\/p>\n Horsemanship for Health<\/strong><\/p>\n Wisdom, Wonder & Wellbeing For life<\/td>\n CoLab Exeter <\/strong><\/p>\n Resilient women spectrum project \u00a0Link to Resilient Women YouTube video<\/a><\/td>\n The Filo Project (TFP)<\/strong> West Devon expansion<\/p>\n Link to The Filo Project<\/a><\/td>\n Creative Kernow<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/td>\n TRIP Community Transport Association Link to TRIP brochure<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Winter Friendship<\/td>\n Lifeworks Charity Ltd.<\/strong><\/p>\n Ordinary Extraordinary Festival Report 2019 FINAL<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n North Devon Forum for Autistic Spectrum Conditions and ADHD<\/strong><\/p>\n Social Support<\/td>\n Social activities for people with Autistic Spectrum Disorders and their Carers.
