Our Work

Through our community-based projects, we hope to bring the community together around a shared goal – to improve West Somerset as a place to live, work and visit! Please let us know what is important to you and how you want to be involved. We love to hear from local residents, business owners or visitors about ways in which we can improve our projects.

We exist for the people and place of Minehead and the surrounding communities, which means we aim to keep the environment and our local nature at the centre of everything we do. We are privileged to live in a beautiful place and we are passionate about protecting our natural spaces and wildlife for future generations!

From improving access to arts, culture and community-based projects, to enhancing opportunities for business, employment and education for young and old alike, we aim to ensure everything we do is accessible and inclusive to all who call West Somerset home.
