Doughnut Economics? What's that? It's a way of looking at economics that's human, accessible & just what we need to understand how we solve the crises we face. It could be transformational for Torbay. Come learn about it over lunch and on zoom. More here: localsparktorbay.org/event/d…
Are you local, social, green? Come to our monthly co-working session at Paignton Library, from 10am-1pm this Friday, Oct 7th. Get some work done and meet some peers starting up or running their social or green enterprise, too.

For ten years we've been running the Local Entrepreneur Forum in Totnes, supporting 40 local enterprises that benefit the community. It's our 10th year so we've naturally been inspired by this great little film, 'The Powers of 10' by Charles & Ray Eames. youtu.be/0fKBhvDjuy0
