Renting a home can be bad for your health, according to ExeTRA (Exeter Private Tenants Resource Association), a new Exeter CVS project funded by the E-on Energy Legacy fund, which offers a voice to tenants suffering poor housing conditions, excessive rent and energy bills.
And with winter approaching, this support couldn’t come at a more important time.
Project worker Eve Malster explains: “Exeter is one of the most unaffordable places to live in the UK! Demand for rented homes exceeds supply, pushing rents sky high. Tenants are so worried about the pressure of losing a...
Exeter based charity Dream-A-way is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and now the “Dream Team” have even more reason to celebrate as their very special 20th Birthday Ball was a massive success and a record breaker in terms of fundraising.

To put this sum into perspective these monies have already enabled the charity to purchase a brand new, specially adapted, disabled caravan at Sandy Bay which will ensure they are able to provide holidays...

Official representatives of the Blackfoot Nation of Canada will be visiting RAMM to offer their knowledge about sacred regalia held by the museum. This is the first time it has been accessed by the Blackfoot Nation in 130 years. It is special because it was once owned by Isapo-muxika (Crow Indian’s Big Foot or Crowfoot) an important Blackfoot leader at a time when Canada was being created using their land. Through colonial hands the regalia was sold to the museum in 1904.
This lecture will present a Blackfoot history of Crowfoot and the effects this has on Blackfoot people today...

Bizet: L'Arlesienne Suite No.2 Rachmaninov: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini Dvorak: Symphony No.9 "From the New World"
Performers:
Conductor: Carlo Rizzi Soloist: Alexander Gavrylyuk (Piano)
The second suite is a charming collection comprising six pieces from those that Bizet composed for Daudet’s play The Girl from Arles – a tragic story about unrequited love in which the title character never appears.
