FareShare South West, a charity who redistribute good quality, in date surplus food to frontline organisations supporting the most vulnerable, has announced that it is launching its core service into Exeter. FareShare South West is partnering with Exeter Food Action to launch and operate its service, with eight key local frontline projects now signed up and ready to receive weekly deliveries of food support. “The partnership with Exeter Food Action has allowed us to make strategic partnerships with key frontline organisations, thanks to their local knowledge and contacts, which in turn means our impact will be greater,” says Shelley Wright, FareShare South West’s Devon and Cornwall Manager. “I’m excited to see the impact this community of frontline organisations can have, linked by their food coming from FareShare South West.” The launch has also been supported by South West pasty makers Ginsters, with the donation of two vans for transporting food, along with a donation of £15,000 from Exeter Chiefs, which has allowed for a chiller to be installed at Exeter Food Action’s base.

Heads up parents, there’s a new local family attraction that’s just opened its doors. Bear Town, located between Exeter and Cullompton, features 12 different role play areas where children are free to explore a range of ‘grown up’ jobs, from vets and mechanics to firefighters and hairdressers. “Bear Town offers a fun educational experience that supports the Early Years Foundation Stage, yet all the children know is that they are having an amazing time,” says Ben Jordan, owner of Bear Town. “Whilst coronavirus has delayed our plans, it has meant we have been able to design Bear Town ensuring we are covid-secure, whilst taking nothing away from the amazing experience. This indoor all year-round attraction, is fun, unique and educational.” For more: www.beartown.co.uk
