Following the outpouring of heartfelt messages since the death of Captain Sir Tom Moore on 2 February, his family pledged to celebrate his life with an event that everyone, in the UK and around the world, could be involved in. That event is the Captain Tom 100 and Veterans With Dogs is proud to be inviting our supporters to take part.
Veterans With Dogs , like many other charities, has been hugely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. It’s had a catastrophic effect, with the cancellation of thousands of fundraising events and the loss of billions in income.
Customers at Exeter’s community-owned Real Food Store have raised almost £100 for Exeter Foodbank in just one month, by ‘rounding up’ their shopping bills to support the charity.

Launched in early February, the ‘Round It Up’ scheme gives Real Food Store customers the option of rounding up their receipt to the nearest pound, with the proceeds being used to provide vouchers to...

Supporters are ‘stepping up’ to help raise funds for the lifesaving service thisMarch, just by going about their daily life.
Devon Air Ambulance’s (DAA) latest virtual event invites supporters to complete a 300,000-steps challenge throughout the month of March in aid of the life-savingservice.
300,000 steps are just shy of the recommended 10,000 steps a day for a moderately active adult (equivalent to around 5 miles per day). They can be clocked up at home or while out and about in the local area, alone or as part of a bubble.
Former students and supporters gave more than £68 million and 92,000 volunteering hours to the University of Exeter's biggest ever philanthropy campaign.
Making the Exceptional Happen – which began in 2012 and has now ended – raised money for vital research in areas such as dementia, diabetes and cancer; environmental problems like climate change, plastic pollution and food security; and economic, social and political dynamics across the world.
Funds also supported bursaries and scholarships so talented students can attend Exeter irrespective of their financial...
Devon digital advertising agency, Launch Online, is supporting the FORCE Cancer Charity Autumn Bike Ride initiative this November, but rather than being out on the road, its staff will be pedalling their little socks off from underneath their desks.
With the help of a fleet of mini pedal exercisers, which fit underneath the desk, the team will pedal as far as they can over the four weeks of lockdown while they work.
Every week the leading cyclist will wear a yellow jersey, a nod to the tradition that exists in the Tour de France where the best rider is recognised by...
Hall & Woodhouse (H&W), the leading independent family-owned brewer, has raised over £9,000 this summer through its charity dish initiative and Unlock’d lager campaign, in aid of local charities across the south.

Alongside this initiative, H&W also pledged to donate...
A seven-strong team of hospice staff will be taking part in a brand new virtual event in October.
‘Team Hospiscare’, who all work for the local charity, will be completing a Marathon in a Month as part of the charity’s new virtual challenge event.

The seven members of ‘Team Hospiscare’ have seen first-hand the impact COVID-19 has had...
