Exwick Neighbourhood Project

ECI managed the Exwick Neighbourhood Project between August 2004 and August 2007. This built on the earlier work that had been carried out in Exwick through LINKS, a former project of ECI's.

The Exwick Neighbourhood Project worked to actively involve the members of the community, of all ages, in the issues that affect their lives and to improve the quality of life for those living in the area. Its aims were to empower them with the tools to make informed decisions that would aid the development of that community.

EATS

ECI took the decision in May 2007 to cease developing the EATS project. Unfortunately, bids made for funding were not successful. 

However, the Amber Foundation was successful in securing funding in the Autumn of 2007 to enable a number of partners in Devon to provide their Practical Housing Units. These accredited units cover a range of independent living skills, which help people to access and sustain accommodation.
