We received a wonderful nomination for Nicky Nicholls at Sideshore Community as part of our call for community groups to recognise inspiring women on International Women's Day.
Nominated by Zoey Cooper, Exmouth Town Council's Climate and Ecological Emergency Resilience Officer, Nicky is celebrated for her fearless, infectious, and wholehearted approach to making a difference in her community. With fierce determination, her enthusiasm and positivity are inspirational, and her kindness and patience know no limits!
Nicky has transformed a previously empty retail hut into a thriving Community and Eco Hub. With nearly 5,000 visitors last year, with many more due to come through the door in 2025. This coastal community resource is going from strength to strength thanks to her tireless hard work and networking charisma! Nicky's kindness, patience, and unwavering support make her a beacon of hope for positive change in Exmouth.
A special message from Zoey: Thank you, Nicky, for always being there with sound advice, a shoulder to cry on, and, most of all, for finding humour even when things seem grim!
Nicky has also played a key role in supporting the incredible existing community action groups in Exmouth, helping to amplify their voices - check out this recent Facebook post doing just that: 👇

Well deserved recognition for Nicky on International Women's Day. Nicky you are brilliant in all that you do 💚
Well this is all kinds of lovely 🥰. Thank you so much CAG Devon and the fabulous Zoey at Exmouth Town Council. Collaborating with brilliant people (who are - interestingly - mostly women) in my community is the biggest joy of my job. Nicky 💚
So very well deserved Nicky, thank you for all that you do for our community! 💚
