Hundreds of people will enjoy a little extra holiday cheer this year, as staff from a local food charity prepare to dish out festive fayre funded by generous Exeter Chiefs supporters.
For the third year running, Exeter Food Action (EFA) has teamed up with the Exeter Chiefs Foundation to help those who otherwise might struggle to afford a traditional Christmas lunch.
By Boxing Day, EFA and the Foundation will have fed more than 3,000 people in and around the city since forming their partnership in 2022.
Since then, the rugby club charity has donated around £30,...
The Exeter Chiefs Foundation has issued a plea for help in reaching its next milestone.
Since launching in 2011, a dedicated army of generous fans and followers, have helped the charity raise an impressive £2.8m for local organisations.
Now, a fresh drive has been launched to smash the £3m barrier - and the money is needed more than ever.
Celebrity chef and Exeter Chiefs Foundation trustee, Michael Caines, said that in recent months there had been a fall in the amount of cash being collected by the charity while at...

Two-time Premiership Rugby winners the Exeter Chiefs, are lending their support to Otter Brewery’s #PintsMeanTrees scheme – an environmental initiative which sees the Devon based producer of quality cask ales and lager plant a tree for every brewer’s barrel they sell in 2022.
On Thursday 24th March, Otter Brewery Managing Director Patrick McCaig joined Tony Rowe OBE, Chairman and Chief Executive of The Exeter Chiefs, plus England international Henry Slade and Club Captain, Jack Yeandle to plant the first of 50 trees at the Chiefs’ home ground of Sandy Park.
Exeter Rugby Club chairman and chief executive, Tony Rowe OBE, says he has been overwhelmed by the support already shown by the club’s season ticket holders during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
With no rugby played since the Chiefs defeated local rivals Bath at Sandy Park back in mid-March, it’s proved a testing period for everyone as they look to get to grips with the crisis that has struck all corners of the world.
Thankfully, there appears to be a glimmer of light for all clubs, including the Chiefs, with a proposed restart date of Saturday, August 15.
Exeter Rugby Club chief executive, Tony Rowe OBE, insists there is a ‘real desire’ from within the club and from Premiership Rugby to ensure the 2019/20 season is completed.
Although the table-topping Chiefs have not played a competitive fixture since beating Bath 57-20 at Sandy Park back in early March, Rowe is confident that a return to competitive action is not all that far away.
Rowe’s optimism comes following the announcement earlier this week where the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS), Public Health England (PHE), the Department for Health...

“Obviously, I’m very happy,” said Maunder. “It’s a club that myself and my family have had a big association with for a number of years. For a player like myself, the club ticks every box....
Rob Baxter insists Ben Moon is already delivering on the promises he made when he penned his new contract with the Exeter Chiefs.
The long-serving England international this week became the latest Chief to pledge his future to the Devon club, agreeing terms on a new long-term deal at Sandy Park.
Before penning that contract though, Director of Rugby Baxter was keen to gauge just where the 30-year-old envisaged his career going over the next few years.
Baxter said: “I don’t mind telling you, it’s the biggest question that goes through my mind every time I re-sign...
The list of those Championship originals is slowly dwindling, but at least one name will continue for a few years yet, after it was confirmed prop Ben Moon has signed a new long-term contract with the Exeter Chiefs.
Moon follows fellow front-row forward and England international Harry Williams in committing his future to the Devon club.
A product of the club’s highly-successful Academy set-up, 30-year-old Moon has been at the heart of Exeter’s rise in recent years, initially helping the club out of English rugby’s second tier in 2010 – to now establishing themselves as a...
