Totnes Caring Information Leaflet 

 

Totnes Caring is a local charity that has been at the heart of Totnes since we were established in 1987.  Over the years we have given tens of thousands of people the support, skills, tools, and confidence to lead independent and fulfilling lives.

Through the work of a dedicated staff and our amazing volunteers, we deliver services to older people in Totnes and the surrounding areas; plus link worker services in South Devon and Totnes Primary Care Network  area of Totnes, South Brent, Ashburton and Buckfastleigh to over 18 year olds.

Totnes Caring supports people to live as independently as possible, connecting to their community, to increase their health and wellbeing and to combat isolation and loneliness. We do this by delivering group activities, bringing people together, and by providing support, information, and advice to individuals.
