An invitation from Totnes Community Development Society

You are warmly invited to become a member of Totnes Community Development Society

At Totnes Community Development Society we are all very excited to now be able to invite the whole community to become members of the Society.

After the fantastic participation of the community in the Atmos Totnes consultation and referendum, and the wonderful Golden Iris Festival of last autumn, we know things have gone a bit quiet from our side and in particular around Atmos. Whilst we have been quiet about Atmos a lot of work has gone on preparing for the construction phase. There is also plenty of other work taking place on other community buildings in Totnes, including at the Mansion on the high street in Totnes.

Membership is free, Join on-line today
