Ottery Help Scheme

Operating for over 30 years, we are a charity in East Devon providing help and support to many people in need in Ottery St. Mary and the surrounding villages. Our focus is on those who are socially isolated by age and/or mobility, but we also help individuals and families going through difficult times. We work closely with many other organisations with the aim of sharing best practice to enable us to provide thoughtful and joined up support to our community.

The services we provide include: community transport (lifts to and from medical appointments), friendship group, nail cutting, a respite service for Carers, a monthly memory café, dementia-friendly activities, well-being trips, weekly seated exercise group, befriending and minibus hire.

Many of our services are provided by our generous-spirited volunteers; we currently have over 100 volunteers and 900+ clients.

To access our services we ask new clients to:
* be registered with our local GP surgery, Coleridge Medical Centre
* complete an Ottery Help Scheme Client Information Form
* pay a one-off joining fee of £10
