Where we help
Caring in the heart of Devon
We support people across the heart of Devon, from Exeter to Okehampton. And in most of those towns, you’ll find a Hospiscare charity shop helping us raise vital funds!

“The care and efficiency is second to none. I cannot praise the service we are getting too highly. Action is quick, feedback is prompt and the smiles and concern for both of us is unbelievable. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. You are wonderful.”
“Heart failure isn’t curable, it’s a serious long term condition. But with the support from the Hospiscare Heart2Heart sessions I am not as worried as I was before... I feel reassured with the help I’ve had, and thankfully the medication and advice seems to be working.”
