A little about Who we are and What we do:
Exmouth Friends in Need is a non profit organisation founded by Claire Austin in November 2018, It exists to help prevent and alleviate poverty for families in Exmouth and surrounding areas.
The team has grown considerably and now consists of many valued volunteers and helpers.
We offer support to local families by providing food (predominantly fresh food but not exclusively), general essential household items, topping up Gas and Electricity, help towards paying the fuel bills and even assisting in furnishing new households with white goods and everything they need to keep peoples' heads above water thus encouraging sustainability for those in temporary poverty or suffering hardship.

FaceBook Group Members
In almost three years we've grown and need all the support we can get right now.
Members of the Exmouth community gift to the Facebook Group Page any unwanted items that are in fairly good condition.
We accept most of the following items to the group:
- Electrical Goods
- Gardening Equipment
- Toys
- Furniture
- White Goods
- Clothes and Bedding
Other members can then offer a donation to Exmouth Friends In Need in return for an item found on the Facebook Group Page.
Purchase methods include:
- Cash Donations
- Support Parcels
We then use these funds to purchase even more food and items to distribute among the families who really need it most!
