Vote For A Finalist
Our £1,500 Community Fund Has Been Developed To Support Local Causes in Tiverton & Devon
Our £1,500 Community Fund has been created to support a local cause, organisation or project that would benefit from a helping hand.
We’ve now shortlisted four fantastic finalists, and we need your help to choose the winner! Take a moment to discover more about each finalist below and cast your vote. Make sure you have your say before voting closes at midnight on 11 November 2026.
Tiverton Rugby Club Juniors U13s
Tiverton Rugby Club Juniors U13s which provides local children with the opportunity to learn rugby, develop confidence and build friendships through grassroots sport.
The team hopes to use the funding to purchase training and development equipment, including rugby balls, tackle bags, shields, cones and agility equipment. The investment would help coaches deliver engaging training sessions, develop players’ skills and encourage teamwork, while also supporting team-bonding activities.
The equipment would benefit the current squad throughout the 2026/27 season and remain available to support future junior players, creating a lasting benefit for grassroots rugby in the local community.
Tiverton Youth Centre
Tiverton Youth Centre provides a safe and welcoming environment for young people aged 11 to 19, opening four evenings a week. Its services include opportunities to socialise, develop new skills and access support from experienced youth workers.
The centre also runs a weekly club for teenagers with additional needs and disabilities, alongside holiday activities, volunteering opportunities and leadership programmes.
The Community Fund would help the charity bring in specialist professionals to deliver workshops in areas such as sport, music, arts and crafts, and science. The activities would be shaped around young people’s interests, helping them discover new skills, broaden their experiences and explore opportunities in a supportive environment.
Uplift Devon
Uplift Devon works to improve the life chances of children under five and support their families through free play sessions, workshops and practical help.
Its Hub in Tiverton offers families a welcoming space to meet others, access advice and receive support with challenges affecting home and family life. The organisation also provides essentials such as nappies, infant formula and clothing bundles to families who need them.
The funding would help Uplift improve the baby area of its Hub, which has been affected by a water leak that has left the space smelling damp and looking unclean. It would also allow the organisation to purchase new wooden resources for heuristic play, replacing equipment that has been in use for seven years.
Tiverton Library
Tiverton Library is one of Devon’s busiest libraries, opening 43 hours a week and providing access to books, IT, cultural activities and wellbeing services.
The library supports people of all ages, working with local schools, community organisations and other partners to promote literacy, reduce social isolation and improve access to information and resources. Its activities range from baby rhyme sessions that encourage early language development to book deliveries for housebound older residents.
The £1,500 award would contribute towards the library’s running costs during the 2026/27 financial year. Depending on its needs, this could include staffing or the purchase of books and other resources to support community activities, including sessions for children with additional needs.
