The Champions Awards 2025: the inspiration

2025: Eco Hub Sidmouth

Set up as part of the Climate Awareness Partnership Sidmouth, the inspiring Eco Hub Sidmouth project was seen by its founder Bernie Davis as a way to showcase all the active groups in the Sid Valley and to engage the wider public.

It launched in January 2025 with Exeter Community Energy @ the ECO HUB Sidmouth: offering free advice on keeping cosy, with the last of its first sessions in June 2025 Drawing from Nature @ Sidmouth Eco Hub – ‘looking at the natural world’ with local artists

Here’s a look at Eco Hub Sidmouth: the first six months.

And following Eco Hub Sidmouth: meeting Tuesday 26th August, there was another set of sessions happening from September to December, with this being the last in 2025: How can we work out our carbon footprint? Free Workshop! Saturday 6th December

It was determined, then, that the 2025 Sustainable Sidmouth Champions Awards should recognise the efforts of all those groups which have been involved in the Eco Hub Sidmouth.
