On the 1st February 2021 Dave took to the water or in this case his static rowing machine in his living room, to row half a marathon every day throughout February.

That is the equivalent of rowing from Exeter to Newcastle. Dave took on the challenge to raise vital funds for our charity. Dave raised an epic £1000. Thanks, Dave

10 for 10 Challenge

As part of Countryside Mobility‘s 10th year, 10 members of staff took part in our Ten for Ten Challenge. Each member of staff chose their own challenge based on the number 10, for example, Neil ran 10km ten times, Debbie walked 10 miles and Em did 10 different dance based exercise classes.

Together the staff raised over £1,300 for Countryside Mobility which meant that we could refurbish one of the oldest, most used all-terrain mobility scooters. What a great team effort!

The fabulous staff and volunteers at Living Options Devon took part in the 2.6 Challenge. They challenged themselves to learn British Sign Language (BSL) in a week and deliver a special message to those who sponsored and donated to the charity.

Thank you to everyone who got involved and took part, and a massive thank you to those that donated. We raised £1,250

Cake Sale

At Living Options Devon we are quite partial to baked goodies. So in 2019 we put our aprons on and made a spread of delicious cakes to sell to our neighbours on Lustleigh Close. Through the sales, and some very generous donations, we raised £207 for Living Options Devon.

James took on the River Dart SUP board challenge. That’s a stand up paddle board to you and me! James challenged himself to paddle board the River Dart from Dartmouth to Totnes.

On the day of the race the conditions were extremely challenging, there was a 30 knot head wind, choppy waters and freezing temperatures. But James managed to stay upright and achieved 15th place out of 300 paddlers. He also managed to raise £150 for Living Options Devon.

Well done James and thank you for braving the challenging conditions.
