Exciting news ๐
I am starting work on the next update of the directory ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ
Lots of changes and updates coming, including (hopefully) a donations button on the website! I am also FINALLY going to start work on an East Devon section ๐คฉ
I'm also in the process of arranging training and talks for this year ๐ฅณ
Just a few gentle reminders as we head into 2026...
๐๐ปโโ๏ธ A lot of people assume that there is a team behind the directory... There isn't! It's just me myself and I. I am the founder, social media manager, accountant, events organiser, plus everything else involved in running the directory... If something is wrong, missing, or has changed.. please tell me! I can't correct something I don't know about. I really appreciate everyone's help in keeping the directory as accurate as possible, so please drop me an email at devonandcornwalldirectory@hotmail.com if I need to change something
๐ I get a lot of questions about how to add your service/organisation to the directory, which is fantastic! To make things simpler and easier for everyone, I created a Google form a while ago that asks all of the information I need to get your service added. As the directory is entirely funded and paid for by myself (and has been for the past 4 years), I politely ask that organisations requesting to be added pay a small annual fee of ยฃ20. If you don't want to/are not able to pay the fee, that is absolutely fine :) your organisation may still be added at a later date, however priority will be given to organisations who have agreed to pay the fee. Please note this only applies to organisations that contact me specifically asking to be added - it does not apply to organisations that I find through my own research. Please also note that I will be contacting those who have very kindly agreed to pay the fee in the next few weeks about next steps. The Google form you need to complete to request your service or organisation to be added can be found here: https://forms.gle/DC1QujmyzpRGrsL89
๐ I've had some really positive responses to the Plymouth Airtable on the website ๐ my plan is to turn all of the regions into Airtables, although this will take some time! Please bear with me whilst I complete this work, I promise it will be worth the wait
โImpact & funding - I'm still on an uphill battle re: trying to get any sort of funding or income for the directory, and am failing miserably. As much as I'd like to, I can't keep providing a free mental health service forever. I'm hoping to become a legal structure one day, however that requires a team and funding bids.. and to get funding, I need to prove my impact and reach. I would deeply appreciate it if anyone reading this who has used the directory to spend just 5 minutes filling out this short feedback form: https://forms.gle/eyyqi4aYnPf49jKz9
I'm always open to ideas regarding collaboration, funding, connection and support so please pop me a message or an email if this is something you'd be interested in
Last but not least, please visit the website for more information (however please note that the donation button does NOT yet work so please don't try to donate anything just yet, thank you ๐๐ป) www.devoncornwalldirectory.com
Finally, as always, thank you so much for your continued support and kindness โค๏ธ
