Budleigh Information Centre (Love Budleigh) has joined the National Re-Fill Scheme.

The scheme is aimed at reducing single-use plastic.  If you want a fresh drink of water when you are out and about you can call into a refill station and get your cup or bottle re-filled free of charge.   This saves you having to buy another plastic bottle.

You can find refill stations via a downloadable app or keep an eye out for their logo.

The Budleigh Information Centre is delighted to have joined the scheme - all you need to provide is a cup or bottle.

Love Budleigh News for February 2024, including Budleigh in the News, Beach Hut Rental Information and a focus on Local Care & Living Well Options.

The Budleigh Information Centre - Love Budleigh, had the privilege of visiting Bicton College to meet with the cadets of the Military and Protective Services (MaPS) Academy.

They were invited to attend the college during the cadets morning parade to present the cadets with Participation Certificates.  This was in recognition of their participation at the Budleigh Late Night Shopping event on Friday 8 December 2023.  The cadets marshalled each of the junctions along High Street and Fore Street to enforce the road closure and ensure the safety of the many people who attended the event.  The cadets also helped with the removal of cones and signs at the end of the evening. 

Alan Tilbury, a director of the Budleigh Information Centre (BIC), thanked the cadets for coming along to the event.  Their participation contributed to the success of the evening, and the hours they spent marshalling each junction was greatly appreciated.  Sarah Coles, a volunteer at the BIC who helped to organise the Late Night Shooping event, presented the certificates to the cadets.  

The Military and Protective Services (MaPS) Academy prepares students for a career in the Armed Forces, Emergency and Rescue services, the fire, police, ambulance, UK Border force as well as, non-uniformed roles, civil service, voluntary or private security sector.   

​Helping within the community is something the cadets are encouraged to get involved with.  If you think they may be able to help you with an event please contact Scott Lawson at Bicton College.
