Warning Issued In Devon Over Scam Caller Pretending To Be Police Officer

June 16th, 2022

Betty Johns – a Eulogy

April 24th, 2022

Betty Dimond Johns, nee Granger, has set the bar very high indeed. Little did the family think that when Edwin died in February 2000 at the age of 95 and a half that this would be exceeded. Unfortunately living to such an age, but not well enough to enjoy life, made infinitely worse by Betty being isolated from family and friends due to the Covid19 pandemic for large parts of the past two years. However, the family do thank most sincerely all those of you who did visit Betty at Hill House over the past 10 and a half years. […]

Families offered a Healthy Start

September 17th, 2021

Recent research has shown that just under a third of households in Devon with children are experiencing food insecurity, but at the moment, only around half of eligible families are signed up to the government’s Healthy Start scheme, which means many are missing out on much needed support. If you are pregnant or have children under four years old, you may be eligible to receive financial support towards fruit and veg, pulses, cows’ milk, formula, and also receive free vitamins! If you think you may be eligible or already receive Healthy Start support, you can sign up for a free […]
