News from our AGM on 10th April

30 April 2025

In case you missed it in the Courier:

Our Annual General Meeting was held at the Arts Centre on 10th April. It was the first AGM since the organisation became a registered charity. Recognition and thanks was given to all the volunteers and especially the core group who co-ordinate and manage the operation and support of all the groups and projects associated with Sus Cred. Special thanks was given to Caroline Romijn and Terry Hadley who were stepping down from the core group after many years of contributing leadership and inspiration.

The financial report was received and accepted; income and expenditure has been stable and a budget for the current year agreed. The big events of the year have been very successful including: the Big Green Fair(September), the Crafternoon (October), the Clothes Swop (January) and the Seed Share (February). Regular activities have continued including: Pollinator Plots, Woodland Management, Tree Planting, the Repair Café, support for the Boniface Trail, opening the Sustainabubble hub and the hugely successful Food Larder; new events for this year included two films on the theme of sustainable farming and food, running activities for the Haywards School Super Heroes Day and a public consultation on land use plans for the Old Deer Park area of the town.

Future plans include setting up a Library of Things and events including a talk 'Supporting Swifts in Towns & Villages' on 8th May.

As ever, our ability to expand on our range of activities and events depends on volunteers coming forward to get involved. If you would like to be more active in Sustainable Crediton we would love to hear from you. Drop us an email at info@sustainablecrediton.org.uk
