Associations
The Community Council works closely with three Associations. All are independently constituted bodies with their own governance and finances. We provide staffing and other support under a service level agreement. Members of these Associations are affiliate members of the Community Council.
Devon Association of Local Councils (DALC)
DALC was one of the founders of the Community Council in 1961, and supports town and parish councils.
Devon Playing Fields Association (DPFA)
DPFA is a charitable umbrella body for sport and play organisations and those statutory bodies supporting or providing such opportunities, especially in rural communities.
Devon Association of Community Buildings (DACB)
DACB is the most recently formed of the Associations. It provides a user-led voice for community buildings like village halls, promotes quality standards, and enables networking and peer-to-peer support.
