About us
By working with local businesses, we help to promote economic growth in the town, creating more job opportunities and boosting the local economy.
Our aim is to promote community engagement which helps to foster a sense of belonging and promote social cohesion within the town. Additionally, by promoting tourism, we can help to bring in more visitors to the town, which can boost the local economy and provide new opportunities for local businesses.
Our focus on sustainability is also important as it recognises the importance of protecting the environment for future generations. By working to promote sustainable practices and initiatives within the town, we can help to reduce the impact of human activity on the environment and promote a more sustainable future.
Overall, our mission statement demonstrates a commitment to promoting the well-being of Okehampton by fostering a strong local economy, promoting community engagement and tourism, and working towards a more sustainable future.
