‘Because everyone deserves to eat well’ is more than just a strap line. We truly believe no-one should experience hunger, or the uncertainty of providing a nutritious meal for their loved ones.
Catch 77 is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company set up to deliver this mission. Our initial focus is on helping as many families as we possibly can during the Covid-19 pandemic. With schools closed and so many families struggling to bring in a steady income, we are working with our network of partners and supporters to deliver a weekly box of tasty goodies with a smile.
We are based in Mid Devon, but we are working in partnership to extend our Family Food Box service to as many families in need as possible.
Beyond the immediate coronavirus crisis our goal is to build a sustainable community food business helping people that typically have less access to affordable and nutritious food. “Food deserts” in the US jargon!
While we’re not convinced by this as a descriptive term, we do see a range of barriers to people eating well in the UK. Some of these are economic or social, some geographical. We are particularly focused on overcoming these barriers in more rural communities. Communities close to home.

We begin with a desire to strengthen connections, increase opportunities and nurture working relationships within our working wool community in the South West of England.
Blessed here in South Devon with an abundance of quality local fleece and a history steeped deep in the woollen industry we began our work and our vision was ignited to provide a social hub, a platform for sales of local fleece and woollen goods and a place for the sharing and passing on of valuable techniques and skills in all wool crafts.
Our first gathering was held in the Ancient Woollen of Buckfastleigh in March 2016 and from there our community has flourished and grown into a twice annual event for the Town held at the Town Hall and now also the Primary School on Bossell Road.
The Buckfastleigh Wool Gathering hosts a vast array of skilled workshop leaders and artisans who offer drop in workshops, live demonstrations, talks and opportunities to get involved in further projects and workshops through out the day and in the future. It is a place for participation, learning, bringing along your own woolly projects to work on alongside other makers, making contacts for your businesses and picking up bags of wonderful local fleece direct from the farmers.

We want to be able to reach out and help our communities in need, to help anyone struggling with mental wellbeing & loneliness. To do this we seek like-minded not-for-profit organisations to work collaboratively with, please get in touch.
Dealing with the many challenges of today requires slowing down, learning skills and techniques to help your connection to nature and yourself. Grandmother Beech Community Interest Company emerged out of a desire to inspire and support the community, and a desire for actions to speak louder than words.
Established in 2021 during the pandemic, we’re an organization driven by a vision of healing and learning with and through nature. We extend out a strong foundation of support.
Now’s the time for us to get this right! - to keep looking out for each other; to keep compassion and justice at the heart of our communities; to keep strengthening the systems that support us all when times are tough. As we open up, we can make sure we are working for each and every one of us.
