Devon Business & Education Trust

What we do?

Set up in August 2020, Devon Business & Education Trust (DBET) was founded as a response to COVID-19

With an aim to support disadvantaged COVID-affected groups, particularly those who are socially isolated, such as the local elderly population, young people whose employment situation has suffered and those individuals whose mental health has been impacted.

About DBET

To create a safe space for people within their local community to connect, be inspired, grow and to learn.

On a late summer evening walk in 2020, a small group of friends had a conversation that sparked an idea. A vision. A desire to harness their passion for learning with the beauty of nature surrounding them.

Why us?

As parents, coaches and students, we understand the power of education.

As daughters and sons, we appreciate the wisdom of those who came before us. As human beings in the modern world, we value nature as one of our greatest mentors.

DBET provides a powerful combination. Expert educationalists and thinkers, with the natural surroundings at DBEC. A unique offering to cultivate and inspire the minds and souls of people within our community.
