EXETER Leukaemia Fund is encouraging people who live in Crediton and surrounding areas to start a supporter group.

Supporter groups play a vital part in the success of the charity. From organising their own fundraising activities and helping with ELF events. The groups offer friendship and focus for patients, family and friends. ELF currently has three groups in Exeter, Exmouth and East Devon.

ELF supports the work of the Haematology Centre at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital at Wonford by providing funds for enhanced patient care, state of the art equipment and research.

Anyone interested in helping to start a new group is asked to contact the ELF office on 01392 493344 or email [email protected]">[email protected] .
