Looking at the latest newsletter and our revamped website, I feel there is a lot we can feel proud of in Sustainable Crediton and that  a lot has been achieved in 2012.  It may not always seem that way but we have all worked hard and there are lots of good new initiatives emerging eg the Credit Union, the Warm homes project, our activity in the Credfest 2013 which will give the community markets a good boost in my opinion, and the plastic collections which have made people much more aware about issues of recycling and waste disposal.

I believe our big challenge in 2013 is how to reach out to the wider community who have heard of Sustainable Crediton since our profile is good but do not yet see it as relevant to their lives. And we need to find ways of matching our aspirations to the very real needs and concerns they have, especially those on low incomes.  So this will be my big priority next year.

Anyway thanks for all you have done and continue to do and have a lovely break over Christmas and the New year, ready to return renewed and refreshed!
