Local Businesses & Community Organisations Powering Community Connection
Local businesses and community organisations are often the heart of our communities, alongside charities and community groups. Thanks to the generous support of the Supporters & Partners below aDoddle is able to provide this free to access community map for both those searching and for organisations to share who they help, how they help, the difference they make and how to connect with them.
If you are a local charity or community group providing support, volunteering opportunities, and social connections in your area, see below to find out how to add your profile to the map.
Partners
In 2017 the first ROC Dawlish meeting took place. Over 140 local residents came together to talk about ways to strengthen and support our community.
A key issue that came up in conversation was the fact that many people still didn’t really know what was happening locally. This included where people could connect with others, where they could get help, or even give help through volunteering.
So ROC Dawlish has partnered with aDoddle.org, a Dawlish based UK wide initative, to map the amazing charities, community groups and opportunities that exist on our doorstep.
Libraries Unlimited is a charity which runs libraries in Devon and Torbay. Their mission is to bring ideas, imagination, knowledge and creativity to people’s lives and communities.
