We have some lovely news to share! Exeter Community Initiatives (ECI) has been named a finalist in the Devon Women in Business Awards 2026, in the Community Project/Charity/Group of the Year category.
It’s something we’re really proud of, and a chance to celebrate the people who make ECI what it is.
At ECI, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to feel supported, connected and part of their community. Every day, our team works alongside individuals and families to help them overcome challenges, build confidence and create brighter futures.
Through our projects, we bring people together in all sorts of ways. Although each project is different, they all share the same aim: to make a positive difference to people’s lives. Find out more here.
And behind all of this are the people who make it happen — our dedicated staff, volunteers, supporters and partners. Their time, kindness and commitment help ECI continue to support people across Exeter.
Being named a finalist is a wonderful opportunity to recognise their contribution and celebrate the difference we make together.
We’re looking forward to joining the other finalists at the Devon Women in Business Awards ceremony on 20 November 2026. We’ll be keeping our fingers crossed!
Thank you to everyone who is part of the ECI community. This recognition is something we can all be proud of.
