Social Activities

With the help of our wonderful volunteers, we organise activities and groups in the Exminster area, East Devon and Mid Devon where people can come together to meet others and socialise.  Transport can often be provided where this would be a barrier to someone accessing an activity.

Groups and activities include Men's Brunch Club, Hobbies Group, Fish and Chip Friday, Gentle Exercise Classes, Bereavement Group, Film Club and Allotment Sessions.

We develop our groups and activities based on local need, so if you think there’s a need for a certain type of activity then please contact us.

If you or someone you know in the area would struggle to get out to join an activity (eg. because of ill health or difficulties with mobility) then again please contact us as we might be able to help.
