Five Exeter charities join forces

Exeter City Community Trust announce new partners for next two years.

Exeter City Community Trust, Exeter’s leading health and wellbeing charity, have announced a new partnership with four locally based charities.

Age UK Exeter, Children’s Hospice South West, Julian House and Force Cancer have been selected to receive official partner status following an open application process. 

The charities offer support to those most in need across a wide range of people in the local community and will support each other with cross party services and promotional support for fundraising activities. The primary focus will be health and wellbeing events, whether it be physical or mental. 

Pete Ferlie, who is CCT’s health and wellbeing officer says: “It’s great to have the extended support for our community, working with these great charities will mean our reach into the community can go even wider.”

Sarah Lakey, senior community and events fundraiser for Julian House said: “CCT (City Community Trust) have a terrific programme of events and activities - all of which will help us to achieve these goals. It could well be that we will try and involve some of our clients in helping out, demonstrating very vividly that these are ordinary men and women facing difficult challenges but are still willing and able to give something back to the community at large."
