Be Part of Our Torbay Story
Everyday life in Torbay is full of stories worth telling. Not just the big moments, but the quieter ones too — the people helping others, starting something new, building a business, learning a skill, supporting a neighbour, running a group, or making their corner of Torbay better.
That is what Torbay Story is here to celebrate. We want to hear from the people who live and work here and share the stories that show what Torbay is really like — honest, hopeful, hard-working, creative and full of character.
You do not need to have done something famous or unusual. If Torbay has shaped your life, your work, your family, your community or your hopes for the future, then your story matters. We want to capture the real experiences that make up life across Torquay, Paignton, Brixham and the wider Bay. And we want to amplify the stories of people shaping the Bay's future.
We have so many people in best kept secret territory - sometimes living and working in complex situations, By sharing stories we can build a picture of Torbay that feels more real and more recognisable — one that residents can see themselves in, and one that also shows others the energy, talent and pride that exists here.
It's that same 'why' that drives pride in place, leads to investment, protection for things that matter to people, and change for the better.
