    VOLUNTEERING IN HEALTH 

    Volunteering in Health is a social prescribing health and wellbeing charity based in the local hospital. We support lonely, isolated people in Teignmouth, Dawlish and Chudleigh in South Devon mainly through 1:1 home visits to help empower people to take more control over their own health and wellbeing. Our volunteers support with transport to medical appointments, administration and befriending.
