Action East Devon is a health and wellbeing charity, providing practical help and support to children and young people throughout East Devon and the surrounding areas.

We run projects and deliver services primarily but not exclusively across the East Devon locality. Our key focus is to support and improve the health and wellbeing of people across East Devon, we do this by working with local people to identify gaps in service provision and developing ways to support people to live happier and healthier lives.

Our values:

People’s Safety – We do this by making sure you are physically and emotionally safe during our support to you.

People’s Truth – We want you to be heard and validated and we respect your opinions and your story.

People’s Individuality – We are non-judgmental, we accept you for you.

Our Ethos is to support, encourage and guide to deliver real change and better wellbeing.

iThrive Model of working

Action East Devon aligns to the iThrive model in all our services.

“The iThrive Approach is a dynamic, developmental and trauma-sensitive approach to meeting the emotional and social needs of children.

It is through this that we aim to achieve our vision of a world in which children’s social and emotional needs are better understood and met.” www.thriveapproach.com
