Oxjam Exeter’s 2nd fundraiser, the Live Below the Line challenge, had outstanding success; raising over £1300 – much more than they ever expected.
The whole team struggled through the challenge, feeling hungrier each day. But the generous donations from many kind people was great motivation.
It’s not too late to contribute, either! The team’s donation page is still active: https://give.everydayhero.com/uk/oxjam-exeter-team-awesome . Any small amount of money can have a huge impact on the lives of those living in extreme poverty.
This year Topsham Museum celebrates its 30th anniversary.
Topsham once supported a multitude of different shops and tradesmen. Do come and see photographs from the Museum collection showing how these shops looked,where they were, what they sold and who ran them.
We will be using many oral history recollections as well as census information, photographs, newspaper advertisements and even printed paper bags to trace the history of some of the buildings in Fore Street and High Street.
