Our History

Once...

Events during the years 2020–2022 highlighted how, in times of crisis, even well-established public systems can be compromised.

For many people locally, this period raised questions about morality, ethics, resilience, community connection, and how individuals and neighbours can better support one another when facing uncertainty.

And Future...

Some of us came to feel that alongside existing institutions, there is value in strengthening local mutual support and practical self-reliance at a community level.

Camelot Connect was founded in 2022 as a voluntary, member-led association to help people work together in this spirit. Our aims include;

  • Clarifying roles and responsibilities within a supportive network
  • Pioneering ways of working together as a dispersed independent community
  • Coordinating practical actions that strengthen local resilience
  • Sharing knowledge and skills among members
  • Building constructive relationships with other community-focused organisations

Tradition

"... according to tradition King Arthur, the legendary ‘Once and Future King’, sleeps in Cadbury Castle..."


"... The hill fort is supposedly hollow, and there he and his knights lie, ready until such time as England should need their services again.
Indeed, every Midsummer Eve, King Arthur is supposed to lead a troop of mounted knights down the slopes of the hill."
