Volunteer Christmas Celebration

Whether you already volunteer with us, or are perhaps thinking of volunteering in the future, we would love to see you at the ViH hub at Teignmouth Hospital on 11th December!

 




Teignmouth Sings for ViH

We are really excited to share that the wonderful Teignmouth Sings group have chosen ViH as their nominated charity for their Christmas concert at St Michael’s Church in Teignmouth on 13th December 🎄🎶

The concert starts at 2.30pm and tickets are available in advance from Ashleigh Way Post office and Teign Music, or you can buy them on the door.

As a thank you for nominating us as the charity for this year, ViH are giving each child attending the concert a free raffle ticket into a draw and the lucky winner will take home this Snow Bear for Christmas 🎄

Come and join in the festive fun!

 




Recycle your used ink cartridges!

Are you looking for somewhere local where you can recycle your used ink cartridges?  We now have a ‘recycle4charity’ collection box at the ViH office at Teignmouth Hospital.
 
Please drop your used ink cartridges in to us during our opening hours (Mon-Thurs 10-3pm. Friday 10-2pm).
We will get donations from recycle4charity for every eligible cartridge which is recycled so you will also be helping us to raise funds!
Thank you 🙏
 
** Note: we cannot accept toner/laser cartridges. If in any doubt what type of cartridges we can accept, please check the ‘wanted list’ on the recycle4charity website.




Community Transport Week 2025

We’re onboard for Community Transport Week 2025!

This week we’re joining communities across the UK in celebrating the incredible impact of #communitytransport 🚗🚐    We are so proud of our volunteer transport team, both our amazing drivers and the office team – and this year they have been nominated for a Stars of Teignbridge award.  Well Done team!

The friendly VIH Transport team provides a much needed service to our community, helping to ensure that local residents can get to their vital medical appointments.

Over the last year, our amazing Transport team have helped over 1000 people!


 
 
Our transport team regularly get together for a breakfast meeting where they have the opportunity to share feedback from drives and receive updates from the team.
 
The picture on the right shows our lovely Wellbeing Support worker Julie helping to set up for our last transport meeting.
