Disabled Exmouth pensioners have accused East District Council of being “over to top and excessive” after they were told their mobility scooters will be confiscated if they dare to leave them in corridors outside their council flats.

Carers need our support

By North Devon Journal  |  Posted: May 08, 2014

In last week’s Journal there was a fabulous piece from North Devon Hospice’s very own Beth Kelso.

In the regular “Opinion” section, Beth was writing about the way in which we support carers, an aspect of hospice care that many are not aware of. After all, if it wasn’t for these carers (often husbands, wives, sons or daughters) the health of the person they are looking after would suffer greatly.

We feel it is absolutely vital that carers feel supported in their task, which can take over their entire life.
