You Smashed It! Celebrating Our 2025–26 Network Impact 🎉
A massive thank you to the 46 incredible CAG Devon network members who shared data on their group’s activities over the past year. Thanks to you, this year’s impact report is bursting with achievements that showcase the true power of community action across Devon.
The Difference You’ve Made
Together, your projects, events, and initiatives have delivered an outstanding collective impact:
- 🌱 Nearly 500 tonnes of carbon emissions avoided
- ♻️ Over 200 tonnes of waste prevented
- 🔁 123 tonnes of waste diverted from energy recovery
And that’s just part of the story…
Your passion and commitment are also showing up in a big way through increased volunteer hours compared to last year, with time generously given by volunteers valued at a phenomenal three-quarters of a million pounds! That’s a phenomenal contribution to communities across the county.
Why Your Data Matters
Every piece of data you’ve submitted submit helps tell a powerful story—one that demonstrates the real, measurable difference your group is making.
Not only does this help you showcase your impact locally, it also strengthens the wider CAG Devon network. It enables us to:
- Continue providing free support and advice
- Deliver training opportunities
- Create space for connection, collaboration, and shared learning
Simply put, your input helps keep the network thriving.
What’s Next?
We’re excited to share that a new impact monitoring tool will be launching soon, replacing Resource CIT. This will hopefully make it easier to track, measure, and share your achievements so you can spend less time on admin and more time doing what you do best.
We’ll be supporting all network members with accessing and using the new system. Watch this space!
