About us

Moretonhampstead Development Trust is a registered charity that was established to cater to our community’s wants and needs, and drive change. Our team works hard to ensure Moretonhampstead is a flourishing, dynamic place to live and visit, where every person feels included and supported. For the past 25 years, the Trust has been providing new facilities and services for Moretonhampstead and its surroundings and supporting groups and organisations that are making a positive impact.

We are proud to have joined Devon CAG in September 2025 and are looking forward to gaining from their experience and develop new projects, including a regular repair café.

The Trust oversees a community water meadow, orchard and allotment as well as a Food Club, Men in Sheds and Friendly Fridays, a warm space to help with social isolation and digital support sessions.  We offer a range of events throughout the year to include hedge laying, tree planting, rubbish pick and take part in Great Big Green Week.

Our volunteers are key to all of the projects running smoothly and we value their time, knowledge and enthusiasm.  We will be focussing on volunteering opportunities in Spring 2026.
