Woolacombe Bay Holiday Parks are also pleased to be the main sponsor for the June North Devon AONB Marathon , who are helping to raise money for North Devon Hospice.

Paraguay is up against Brazil in one of the David versus Goliath clashes of the 2024 Copa America where important points will be on the line in Group D.
Paraguay goes face-to-face with Brazil, the highest-ranked team in their group, and the aim will be to get a respectable result in their Copa America campaign.

Over the past couple of years I have been advocating for families living with dementia in addition to leading the Exeter Dementia Action Alliance.
I have witnessed family carers on their knees at crisis point, desperate, isolated with overwhelming feelings of helplessness.
At times I have felt useless, but having immersed myself into the world of dementia over the past decade I realise I have gained invaluable knowledge which I feel able to share and is making a difference. This is a humbling privilege.
