Current Projects

Our first Repair Cafe was a great success. 

We have learned some lessons but feel confident to hold another. Watch this space !

This will be our first Repair Cafe joint with the Healthy Living Group and assisted by the guidance of Community Action Groups Devon. 

We will also be holding Repair Kid Sessions - encouraging children to tinker with and fix broken items.

We are very proud of our community plot and our relationship with Bishopsteignton Allotments. The  local scouting organisation have provided much help to bring this together. All produce is currently shared amongst the volunteers but we would like to produce and share a bit more with the community. Please see our Events page for gardening dates

We have started on the Plastic Free Community Journey. It is not easy though and more people would be welcome. Encouraging all of the community to reduce single use plastic by campaigns, clear-ups and working together

Contact Elaine 07850 289771

We have encouraged our Parish Council to declare Climate Emergency and work towards Plastic Free Status. There is a Joint Working Party to establish an Action Plan for the Future and sub-groups dealing with the many issues. Volunteers always very welcome

We value our local suppliers and businesses. Supply Stores in the village have kindly made this display area for us and works as  our collection point for Bish-Eco Baggers. 

Nikki is now also supplying Bio-D laundry products on an refill basis. Pop in and take a look

This is an extension of our Repair Cafe. Encouraging children to learn how things work and how to mend or re use them 

There is nothing like celebrating community over a supper. This evening will combine local food and drink with a waste food initiative and sharing dessert.

As part of our fight against climate change, Sustainable Bishop is launching a tree planting scheme in the village and local area. We aim to do this using resources already available locally. We are looking for native trees, such as birch, oak, ash, rowan, sycamore, beech, wild cherry, alder, field maple and blackthorn.  

Contact Sarah 01626 773829 

or by email sarahcochrane024@gmail.com.

We are also pledging to plant on Tree Charter Day with the Woodland Trust - see events
