Our mission is to reduce social isolation through positive enablement.
The Mid Devon Messenger serves a close-knit community of people who, due to visual impairment or chronic illness, find it difficult to read. For 43 years we have circulated free weekly audio news, information and entertainment to our listeners, providing a life-line to their community. Always developing our services, listeners can now thrive in a number of activity groups, including bowling, walking and book clubs. Supported by 50+ volunteers, in 2025 the charity was Highly Commended in the BBC's Make a Difference community award.
As Volunteer Chair of Trustees you will bring vision to further develop and expand our services to listeners, while sustaining the charity's infrastructure, and leading our brilliant team of volunteers.
