About Example Community Trust
Example Community Trust has been supporting people across South Devon since 2011, offering practical help to anyone going through a difficult time.
We started as a small group of volunteers running a single food collection point and have grown into an organisation offering food support, befriending, family groups and welfare advice across several towns. Everything we do is aimed at solving practical problems quickly, without unnecessary forms or delay.
Our small paid staff team is supported by a much larger group of volunteers, many of whom have used our services themselves in the past. That mix of experience means the people supporting you often understand exactly what you are going through.
We work closely with schools, doctors' surgeries, housing teams and other local charities, so that people can be referred to whichever part of our service fits their situation or passed on to another organisation if we are not the right fit.
What you can expect from us
Practical help
We focus on solving real problems quickly, from a meal tonight to a benefits appeal that has stalled.
No judgement
Everyone who comes to us is treated with respect, whatever the reason for needing support.
Local knowledge
Our volunteers live in the towns they support and know the services and people worth knowing.
