Running Deer Cic

Running Deer is a Devon based Community Interest Company established in 2011 to provide opportunities for children, young people and adults including those at risk of exclusion; and local people & communities living in rural isolation without easy access to education, employment or training. Our community projects are core to our aims and objectives.

Our ethos is to: Be ethical in everything we do. Be user led and transparent at all times. Promote inclusiveness and support social enterprise. Make a positive difference to people’s lives.
