Competition in Exeter for your charity pound is fierce.
Raising the £5 million we need each year keeps everyone at Hospiscare under pressure – sometimes I get a little steamed up and ask these questions – out loud in the office!

NFU Mutual warns that claims for dogs who have eaten weird or poisonous items take on a distinctly seasonal flavour as Christmas approaches and reflect the type of foods...
A one-day introduction to Latin will presented by Latin teacher and author, George Sharpley at Exeter Cathedral on Saturday 23rd January.
One of the brightest lights of our emergence from the so-called dark ages in the first millennium is the introduction of Latin in the cathedrals of Europe. From this grew schools and universities, most of which have long since parted with their founders.
Latin was the lingua franca of medieval Europe. Monks and churchmen were trained to write Latin in order to produce the religious, administrative and legal texts required of the time. And...
Blundell’s pupils have spent time during the run-up to Christmas fundraising for charity and having fun at the same time.
The girls in Year 12 of Gorton House sold a record number of 1,400 candy canes, raising £740 for the Crisis At Christmas charity.
Pupils and staff buy the canes to wish their friends and colleagues a Happy Christmas and write a label with a message. In a real team effort, the GH girls then worked as a production line to tie the labels onto the canes, which were then given out to the lucky recipients.
