It’s 10 years since Devon County Council rolled out its community road warden scheme across the county, and to mark the milestone, councillors have issued a rallying cry for new recruits to come forward.
Volunteer Road Wardens are supported by the County Council to organise and carry out minor work in their local community such as weed clearance, grass cutting, sign cleaning, and small drainage work. They can also request training to carry out small pothole repairs using a simple-to-use pothole repair material paid for by Devon County Council.

In another, my role began as a companion and personal assistant for somebody living with...
A local not-for-profit dementia care and support service, The Filo Project , is using this Dementia Action Week to encourage families across the region to reach out for help sooner and to challenge common myths that can prevent people from getting the support they need.
There are around one million people with the dementia in the UK, and Alzheimer’s Society estimates over 21,000 people over the age of 65 are living with dementia in the NHS Devon ICS area.

The Devon-wide health and wellbeing charity, Westbank Community Health and Care, is delighted to welcome lawyer Henry Cross as its newest Trustee. Henry is a Senior Associate at Michelmores, specialising in employment law.
A father-of-two from Exeter, Henry already had a broad awareness of the charity when he met Westbank’s Head of Carers Services, Andy Hood, at a networking event a few years ago.
