Torridge is a local government district in north-west Devon, England.

The district also includes the towns of Great Torrington, Holsworthy and Northam, along with numerous villages and surrounding rural areas.

[6] Most of the district is also covered by civil parishes, which form a third tier of local government.

[24] The council's main offices are at Riverbank House in Bideford, which had been built c. 1982 as the headquarters of the Western Counties Building Society, before being bought by Torridge District Council in 1988.

It provides advice, befriending schemes, support for carers, help to older people and help with charitable fund-raising, liaising with voluntary and community groups where necessary.

It has been in operation since 1988 and is a member of NAVCA, the National Association for Voluntary and Community Action, being largely funded by Devon County Council and Torridge District Council.
