About this cause

Brixham Does Care is a local befriending charity based in Brixham, Devon. Founded in 1978, our aim is to help combat loneliness, isolation and despair for those living within Brixham and the surrounding communities. We support all client groups and people of all ages, offering confidential listening and advocacy, companionship, groups and activities, trips and outings, low cost refreshments, a charity shop and a home visiting service to those who are housebound, lonely and isolated. We provide help to people with both physical and mental health problems; significant numbers of those we help express various concerns and anxieties as well as feeling lonely or excluded.

How this cause brings people in the community together

A significant number of people who use our services are often unable to carry out various DIY tasks, due to restricted mobility and a lack of resources. As a result, there is high demand for a reliable handyperson service within our community, to carry out small tasks within the household such as: putting up curtain rails, replacing light bulbs and repairing garden gates.
