A seven-strong team of hospice staff will be taking part in a brand new virtual event in October.
‘Team Hospiscare’, who all work for the local charity, will be completing a Marathon in a Month as part of the charity’s new virtual challenge event.
Since the national lockdown in March, Hospiscare’s fundraising efforts have been drastically impacted due to the closure of its charity shops and cancellation of events. The charity faces a loss of over £1 million this financial year.
The seven members of ‘Team Hospiscare’ have seen first-hand the impact COVID-19 has had...
“Everything we have done since 2000 led us to understand the post lockdown world.” Nigel Wilkinson, Managing Director, WNW Digital.
WNW Digital, a specialist marketing agency in Dix’s Field, Exeter, is marking 20 years in the industry by bringing another agency, Vibrant Pulse under their group umbrella at a time when online has never been more vital.
It’s a collaboration that not only protects jobs but brings new opportunities - no mean feat during the uncertainty of a...
October is here, the evenings are getting darker and colder, and some of us are already thinking about Christmas. After all, it's been a heck of a year: we need something to look forward to. If you're already building your gift list – or thinking about which wines will go with your turkey – it's hard to go wrong with Barolo.
Barolo is one of Italy's finest wines. So fine, in fact, that it's often nicknamed "the king of wines". It comes from a small area in Piedmont in the north of the country, which is so famous for its wine that UNESCO named it a world heritage site in 2014....
If you own a Devon business and want to build on your reputation for producing quality, locally made goods, the Made in Devon scheme can help showcase what you have to offer.
Made in Devon is part of Trading Standards’ Buy With Confidence scheme, which guarantees that members trade in an honest and fair way.
The new scheme is being launched just as trust in locally made products is at an all time high, with more people then ever before choosing to ‘shop local’.
During lockdown demand for local produce and products increased with 41 per cent choosing to shop...
Devon residents have until the end of Monday 5 October to join more than 2,500 others and register their interest in Devon Climate Emergency’s (DCE) solar-panel group buying scheme.

A new campaign has been launched to encourage local people to support the South West’s leisure and tourism industry during the quieter autumn and winter months.
The accommodation and food service sector employs 271,000 people across the region, but many businesses have been hit hard by the devastating impact of lockdown, followed by the need to operate at reduced capacity and, more recently, limited opening hours.
Now the Share a Smile campaign aims to inspire locals to discover great places on their doorstep to visit, stay or eat out while following the rules and...
A yearly holiday is an important time to get away from the busy routine of daily life, allowing you to spend a week or two unwinding. When you think of your holidays, many people think of going abroad. While visiting a foreign country can be exciting, there are also many benefits to staying closer to home while on your travels.
Cost-effective
Travelling abroad can quickly become an extremely expensive feat. Depending on when you book, flights can become extortionate, and you could find you are spending more than you originally planned and budgeted for. Taking a holiday in the UK...
WESTCOUNTRY residents are being encouraged to remember the importance of grandparents in children’s lives as part of the nation’s Silver Sunday celebrations supported by HRH the Duchess of Cornwall this weekend (October 4, 2020).
Family law experts at a Bristol-based legal practice say people often underestimate the bond grandparents have with their grandchildren and their stabilising influence, especially when parents separate or divorce.
Elizabeth McCallum, family barrister and co-founder of Children in the Middle® with her colleague and fellow barrister Sarah Evans,...
Although many homemakers despise cleaning their blinds due to a variety of reasons, it is highly recommended that homemakers push through and get their blinds cleaned regularly. If you have blinds installed over your windows in your bedroom or white wood blinds , you would understand the feeling of mild disgust when you open the blinds only to see a sea of dust covering the slats of the blinds. The worse thing is that the morning sun rays will illuminate every speck of dust intricately to pronounce how horribly in need of cleaning your blinds are, which can be quite the downer every...
