About Dartmoor Community Kitchen Hub
Dartmoor Community Kitchen Hub supports older and vulnerable people across Devon by providing nutritious, locally sourced meals and creating opportunities for people to eat together. Alongside its meal delivery service, the organisation runs a community café and promotes healthy eating, helping to reduce loneliness and improve wellbeing in rural communities.
Our Investment
Resonance invested £143,000 through the Health & Wellbeing Challenge Fund to provide working capital to refurbish a property in Bovey Tracey, creating a commercial kitchen and welcoming community café that would expand the organisation's services.
Our Impact
The investment enabled Dartmoor Community Kitchen Hub to increase its capacity, serving more people with nutritious meals while creating a dedicated community space where people can connect over food. By expanding its facilities, the organisation has strengthened its ability to tackle social isolation, support healthier lifestyles and improve access to affordable, locally produced food across rural Devon.
Peter Clarke, Managing Director at Dartmoor Community Kitchen Hub: “I found Resonance very effective and efficient. They’re very nice people, and that to me is really important. It is vital that we have Resonance to help social enterprises tackle issues of today. Without support, not-for-profits will struggle. Resonance is easy to work with, and they care about what you’re doing.”
