A Lifeways supported living service in Exeter is celebrating after retaining its overall 'Good' rating from Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Lifeways Community Care (Exeter), which supports 10 people with learning disabilities and mental health needs to live independently in their own homes, was rated ‘Good’ following an assessment in October 2025.
Inspectors noted the service demonstrated elements of ‘outstanding’ practice, especially in “monitoring and improving outcomes” and “governance, management and sustainability”.
Exeter Chiefs and Italian international scrum-half Stephen Varney has signed a new contract with the club, kicking off an exciting start to the second half of Chiefs’ 2025/26 campaign.
Now an integral part of the game plan for both club and country, Varney has enjoyed an impressive start to his Chiefs career playing in eight out of 13 games so far this season.
Varney said: “I’m delighted to be re-signing with Chiefs. Although I’ve only been here for this season, it’s been a place I’ve really enjoyed from day one.
Planning a holiday should feel exciting, yet many people find themselves overwhelmed by choice. With countless destinations, deals and travel styles to consider, picking the right place can quickly become stressful.
The truth is that choosing your next getaway isn’t only about finding the best price; it’s about matching your destination to your lifestyle, interests and expectations. When you approach the decision with clarity, the whole process becomes far more enjoyable and reassuring.

Dexter, Exeter Racecourse’s much-loved mascot, swapped the parade ring for a special festive mission last week as he delivered bags of Christmas presents to children on Bramble Ward at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital.
The gifts were donated by generous racegoers who attended Exeter Racecourse’s recent ELF Raceday, held in support of the Exeter Leukaemia Fund (ELF). Dozens of presents were collected at the racecourse’s gifting drop-off point and will now be shared with children and young patients in the lead-up to Christmas.
