We develop community-owned renewable energy in Devon. We aim to reduce our local carbon footprint and lower our dependence on imported energy in partnership with schools, businesses and local people.
Our Aims
Totnes Renewable Energy Society (TRESOC) is an IPS formed by a group of local residents in 2007. Its aim is to empower the local community to develop and control its own renewable energy supplies and to ensure that the maximum value resulting from the development of local resources is retained by the community.
TRESOC aims:
To develop the profitable supply of energy from renewable resources for the benefit of the community centred in Totnes and the surrounding area.
To ensure the democratic control of renewable energy resources, by the local community, through the establishment of an extensive membership of the Society.
To ensure that the maximum value from development of these resources shall be retained within the local economy.
To provide an opportunity for public-spirited people and organisations to contribute financially to the community with the expectation of a social dividend as well as a financial return.

The Devon, Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Local Resilience Forum was established in response to the statutory requirements of the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 which stipulates that emergency responders must meet at least once every 6 months in order to:
"…establish and maintain effective multi-agency arrangements to respond to major emergencies, to minimise the impact of those emergencies on the public, property and environment, and to satisfy fully the requirements of the Civil Contingencies Act 2004". It is intended to be a strategic forum, attended by emergency planners and where appropriate, Chief Officers representing Category 1 and Category 2 Responders.
What is the LRF?
The LRF is a multi-agency partnership made up of representatives from local public services, including the blue-light emergency services, local authorities, the NHS, the Environment Agency and other partners. These agencies are known as Category 1 Responders, as defined by the Civil Contingencies Act. The LRF is also supported by organisations, known as Category 2 responders, such as the Highways Agency and the public utility companies who have a responsibility to co-operate with Category 1 organisations and to share relevant information with the LRF. We also work in conjunction with, wider partners such as the Military and the Voluntary Sector who provide a valuable contribution to LRF work in emergency preparedness.

The Public Health Team moved from the NHS to Devon County Council in April 2013 when many of the functions of Public Health were made the responsibility of local authorities, following the Health and Social Care Act 2012.
Our aim is for people to live longer in better health. Each year there is an Annual Public Health report, written by the Director of Public Health, that reviews the health of the people of Devon and outlines recommendations that will contribute to reducing health inequities.
There are a variety of roles across Public Health including consultants and specialists, analysts, commissioners and emergency response. Across the service we are committed to personal and professional development and employers are encouraged and supported to learn and develop. Informally, through the variety and challenges offered in the work; and formally through opportunities to complete recognised qualifications, such as, leadership and management apprenticeships or Master’s in Public Health.
