The company runs the Merry Go Round store in North Tawton, an online shop, eBay shop, and a Vinted shop retailing second hand baby and children’s goods to raise money for 12 local Primary Schools. We always strive to reduce waste, encourage re-use and reduce the environmental impact of children’s goods. In addition to this, we reduce food waste by providing a community fridge and by distributing excess produce from other groups and the local community. We also support to our local community by running a foodbank, providing a warm space, offering practical and emotional support by signposting people to external support services, running a weekly baby-weigh clinic, and host other sessions from external providers including antenatal and mini first aid courses. On the 20th September 2025 we opened a second store in Okehampton, anticipating that the increased footfall in the much larger town would enable us to subsidise the running costs of the North Tawton shop, particularly the staffing and running costs of the food bank and community room. Our activities this financial year benefitted the community in the following ways: 1. We have improved the mental and physical wellbeing of people in our community, alleviating food insecurity by supplying food to the 128 registered users of our foodbank, and reduced isolation in our town by providing a free warm space and social area. We also provided emotional and practical support, signposting people to external support services, and provided access to free hot meals for a homeless person. 2. We worked in conjunction with other organisations such as GP Surgeries, schools and Social Services to provide free clothing, shoes, and baby equipment to those most in need in our immediate and wider community. We also continue to supply free school uniform to everyone. 3. We hosted monthly drop-in advice sessions with our local Police Community Support Officer. 4. Local residents of North Tawton and Okehampton and their surrounding villages, have been able to purchase a wide range of good quality children’s clothing, shoes, books, toys & games and baby equipment at very low prices, and access free school uniform, particularly benefitting those on a low income whilst encouraging re-use of children’s goods. 5. As well as offering general volunteering opportunities, we also helped 2 Duke of Edinburgh Award participants achieve the volunteering element of their award, provided work experience 2 secondary school students. 6. The company has provided employment for 8 local people, and has engaged the services of multiple businesses in Devon.
