about

Hiya and welcome to Fun Living In Devon !
We’re a web channel of DevonCommunity.org – a Social Enterprise hosted by the Vitalinput.com team and a NFP (not-for-profit) organisation.
FunLivingInDevon is one of many feeder channels which connect to the DevonCommunity.org Portal (which opens later this year).
All our activities are geared towards supporting the thousands of Charities in this beautiful region, providing unique playground teaching for schoolkids, promoting business in unique ways and generally helping people fulfil their aspirations.
Our motto is: It’s Fun Living in Devon and we promote this via our exciting online mash-up Media, Community Web Presence  and roaming Radio Station, DevonCommunityRadio – with a mobile studio which regularly visits local markets.

Who we are!

We’re based in bustling Newton Abbot, South Devon.
Our operation is 90% solar powered!

At the moment all staff are voluntary: we have Steve (Project Manager, Education and DJ Wild), Jason (Sponsorship Manager and DJ Rev), and Sheila (writer and DJ Sunnyside).
We must take this opportunity to thank all our sponsors and early adopters without whom this launching stage would have been so much more difficult!
Thanks also to the folk who have already come forward with Blog ideas… including such diverse subjects as Photography, Equestrian and Mental Health, Age and Community Care.

In the next few months, we’ll be seeing a lot more volunteers coming from schools to manage, run and DJ on the Radio Station.
Finally, once things really ‘get rolling’, we reckon we’ll be needing three full-timers, so keep your eye on this site!

*by the way, our Radio station is testing transmissions at the moment,  in pre-launch mode, so tune in!

About Joining In?

Fun Living In Devon and DevonCommunity.org are here to support everyone, young or old, we’ll help you have a voice and get creative! We’ve now teamed up with CaringDevon.com too – CaringDevon is a brand new service offering activities for both the young and old in our Community.
You can feature on the DevonCommunity Portal and on the Radio for free if you’re an individual or a Charity in Devon. Enterprises can also  feature by becoming a sponsor and you can see more on this here >>>

You might be an artist keen to display your sketches, or you might be a writer or a musician wanting to broadcast your work locally. By contrast, you might be an individual with a passion for something in particular such as horses or photography and wish to start a blog. – we can help you do it!

We’d really like to emphasise how everyone can join in -we’ve noticed that initially, some are a little worried by the prospect of participating .
For instance, we have some writers -three of whom are of a certain age- they are really creative and enjoyable to read, yet , to begin with, they were worried because their stories would not be in a newspaper but on a screen -now they’re really rising to the challenge- so, more power to your elbows!

Whether you’re an individual, a group , club or a business, your participation helps you network, reaching out to new people, friends and possibilities.
