Welcome to Devon Communities Together

Devon's Rural Community Development Charity

As Devon's only Rural Community Council, Devon Communities Together is in a unique position to support rural and coastal communities to create real impact and lasting change. 

At Devon Communities Together, we believe every community has the power to shape its own future. For over 60 years, we’ve championed rural voices, built local capacity, and delivered practical solutions that improve lives. From affordable housing and thriving community buildings, to digital inclusion, community resilience, healthcare access, environmental sustainability and more — we support communities with what matters most to them. 

We don’t impose change — we enable it. Our approach is asset-based, meaning we work alongside local people, drawing on their strengths, skills, and ambitions to create lasting impact. 

Through innovative projects, expert consultancy, and accessible training, we bring together communities, funders, policymakers, and businesses to make Devon a fairer, more connected and more resilient place to live and work.

Devon Communities Together is part of the ACRE Network (Action with Communities in Rural England)
