Partners and Funders

ECI works with a wide range of partners including local people, local faith communities, community groups and organisations, the Council for Voluntary Service and other voluntary sector bodies, statutory agencies, business and local partnership bodies including Exeter Social Health and Inclusion Partnership and the Community Safety Partnership. These partners are represented on the various project committees and steering groups that oversee different aspects of our work.

We have an annual turnover of about £500,000 and receive funding from a wide range of organisations and individuals. These include the Big Lottery, Exeter City Council, the Devon Primary Care Trust, charitable trusts, local churches and many individual donations through our Share Scheme. This Share Scheme provides an opportunity for local people to 'share' in the development work of the charity through making a regular contribution, ideally over five years, with each Share costing £60 per year.
