Our charity for 2026-27
Each year the members pick a local charity to back. This year it's ELF, the Exeter Leukaemia Fund, which supports families affected by blood cancer at the RD&E.
1980
Founded by Dr Miles Joyner
Free
Every service, for every family
The leading patient-led support charity for families affected by blood cancer across the South West.
About ELF
ELF supports patients with blood cancer and related disorders who are treated at the Haematology Centre at the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital. It was started by Dr Miles Joyner in 1980 and became a registered charity in 1987.
Over the years ELF has also helped fund and develop the Haematology Centre itself, including the Yarty Ward, research projects, specialist equipment, nurses and support roles.
How we help
ELF joins us as a free member for the year, so they can come along on Fridays, talk to the room about their work and grow their own network.
Our annual quiz night in February raises money for ELF. Bring a team, bring your clients and brush up on your general knowledge. The date will be announced soon.
When ELF runs a campaign or fundraiser, members get behind it, whether that's taking part, spreading the word or lending a professional hand.
The members choose a new local charity each year. If you'd like yours to be considered, get in touch with the committee.
