The Network of Wellbeing’s vision is of people and the planet thriving together. We connect people, support projects and inspire action for the wellbeing of people and the planet. We do this through events, network-building, our retreat venue Eden Rise, and community projects, such as our Share Shed – a mobile library of things. Here we report on what we achieved in 2025.

Building Wellbeing Together is at the heart of our mission and we greatly value the links we’ve made with wellbeing practitioners and change-makers from all over the UK.
2025 was potentially a game-changing year for us.
In April, after 18 months of hard work, we were awarded £252,316 over four years by the National Lottery Community Fund for Happier People and Stronger Communities through Share and Repair in South Devon. This project secures the future of our flagship project, the Share Shed. This has also allowed us to use core funds to appoint Molly Haywood Newberry as our new Network Development Manager.
Meanwhile, we’re proud that in 2025, we:
- Continued our sponsorship of the Resurgence Festival of Wellbeing;
- Made 1416 loans from the Share Shed, our mobile library of things;
- Attracted 700 people to the Woolfest in Buckfastleigh to celebrate all things woollen;
- Helped relaunch a repair café in Ivybridge;
- Accommodated 51 retreats for over 1000 people at Eden Rise, our haven for wellbeing in South Devon;
- Saved 1.8 tonnes of carbon dioxide through our solar panels at Eden Rise; and
- Recruited three new people to join our dynamic Trustee team.

We would like to say a huge thank you to all those who have supported and engaged with our work in 2025, including our Trustees, volunteers and everyone who has supported us, attended our events, borrowed from the Share Shed, used Eden Rise, followed our work online, or generally engaged with wellbeing for people and the planet.
We are really excited for 2026!
