Topsham Adventure Centre

Here are copies of Grainge Architects’ Boards used at the Public Consultation on 16 February. Well attended and a lot of useful feedback which will be taken on board. You still have until 28 February to comment as we move towards submitting the Planning Application!

This is an exciting project where two local charities Topsham Community Association and Topsham Adventure Centre (TAC) are working together for the benefit of the whole of the Topsham community including 1st Topsham Sea Scout groups and CEDA.
I am delighted to see a solution having been involved in this for about 9 years!
Come along to Matthews Hall Studio on 16 February at between 4 pm and 7pm to hear all about it.

We are really looking forward to being in attendance at the Topsham Sailing Club summer fundraiser tomorrow, Sunday 11th June. Come and see us between 1pm and 3pm.

We have had a great day with CEDA today at the Pop Up gallery space in Exeter City Centre today. Thanks to Craig for hosting us and to Topsham Adventure Centre Trustees Mark and Joy. See you again next week!

Today at the SeeMe Hear Me pop up exhibition we have members from the Topsham Adventure Centre talking about this exciting new joint project with CEDA. Come along and find out more today or through their page.

We felt privileged to be nestled alongside some amazing Topsham community group Christmas Tree Festival entries with our Sea Scouts and Topsham Adventure Centre tree. Ours is so full of personality with dozens of hand painted decorations by our Scouts. Do go along to St Nicholas Methodist Church before Sunday evening and browse some very creative trees. Our just-about-favourites were Topsham Film Society and ELF crafting group

We are delighted to be joining in the rather special Topsham Christmas Tree festival this year, alongside our friends at 1st Topsham Sea Scouts. Tinsel, lights and some rather brilliant Scout crafted decorations at the ready. Yay!

Wonderful creative work by our partners CEDA ahead of the first ever Exeter Carnival this evening. Once again CEDA providing wonderful opportunities for the young people it tirelessly supports. We hope everyone enjoys it!

The case is building nationally for much better support for young people and their mental health. At last!

At Topsham Adventure Centre we wholeheartedly agree with the Children's Commissioner when she says "England’s children take their mental health and wellbeing really seriously, Though, concerningly if not surprisingly, 1 in 5 were worried about their mental health. More children are struggling with their
mental health since the pandemic and at an earlier age given the effects of
lockdown...We need to act before issues escalate."

We are pleased that The Children’s Commissioner has therefore made improving children’s mental health one of her top priorities, and one of the six ambitions in the latest report sits perfectly alongside the vision of Topsham Adventure Centre;

Ambition 3. All children have plentiful access to safe and fun spaces to play
with their friends.

We continue to work hard in our efforts to fundraise and build a state-of-the-art community centre that will enable young people of all ages and abilities to make friends, learn new skills and enjoy activities on land and on water.

Well done! Great work by CEDA and the amazing young people they support. The sunshine thought so too and came out to help.

Team CEDA are collecting today Exeter Chiefs Official with the Exeter Chiefs Foundation … GO CHIEFS!

As we continue to apply to a wide range of funding sources, we are delighted to share some great news! Topsham Adventure Centre has been awarded a significant grant by the Claire Milne Trust. Thank you CMT, it means so much, it is a great boost to our funding total. A giant stride forward in our aim to build an Adventure Centre at the heart of our Topsham community for our disabled residents and young people.
