The BHF Exeter is delighted to be reopening this spring and is appealing to the local community to get involved by donating the gift of time to support the charity’s recovery from the coronavirus crisis.
The BHF Exeter is inviting nearby residents who may be looking for something new to try, to take on some of the fantastic volunteering roles available. As well as providing crucial support to the BHF, volunteering can also provide great work experience, boost your CV, increase wellbeing and provide a social network within the local community.
Following the outpouring of heartfelt messages since the death of Captain Sir Tom Moore on 2 February, his family pledged to celebrate his life with an event that everyone, in the UK and around the world, could be involved in. That event is the Captain Tom 100 and Veterans With Dogs is proud to be inviting our supporters to take part.
Veterans With Dogs , like many other charities, has been hugely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. It’s had a catastrophic effect, with the cancellation of thousands of fundraising events and the loss of billions in income.
A South West charity is calling on people in Devon to dance, sing and play music in their pants to raise money to help local men with testicular cancer.

Supporters, known as “Testicle Defenders”, post a video of themselves doing the special Men In Pants dance, or singing/playing the Men In Pants song, or both, and donate £3 to the charity.
They’re hoping to make the 30-second dance into the next viral craze...
In December 2023 I am setting off to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean solo.
I will be rowing 2 hours on and 2 hours off 24 hours a day for up to 90 days.
Previous rowers have suffered hallucinations from sleep deprivation and I am sure I will have salt sores on my hands, feet and derrière. In last year's challenge several boats capsized (although the boat is designed to self right) and some had their hulls pierced by Blue Marlin ( swordfish) hunting Tuna.
I am using this platform to raise monies for my two chosen charities...

RGB Building Supplies is delighted to have raised a fantastic £8,400 for Devon Air Ambulance and Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust over the last 12 months.
The support RGB received for its fundraising efforts was overwhelming despite the COVID-19 pandemic having affected how its branches operate.

The bags are used to carry large quantities of aggregates, such as sand, crushed stone and gravel, and RGB had pledged to donate 25p from the...

The South West MS Therapy Centre in Clyst Heath, Exeter, has unveiled its brand new oxygen generation equipment after a generous grant from the Exeter Chiefs Foundation. It will help hundreds of people across the South West continue to manage their symptoms not only relating to MS, but also chronic fatigue syndrome, stroke, cancer treatments, broken bones, and post-viral syndrome such as long Covid/post-Covid, to name a few.

Cats Protection is celebrating the first anniversary of a pioneering online adoption process which has rehomed over 20,000 cats around the UK.
The milestone figure coincides with National Pet Month (April) and the one-year anniversary of the launch of Hands Free Homing, a new way of homing cats and kittens which was created in response to the coronavirus restrictions. It has been more popular than the charity could have predicted.
David and Daniel Barratt adopted Neptune from Cats Protection Exeter Axhayes Adoption Centre.
