OCRA is providing a regular space in its Pavilion Lounge to peer led groups in Okehampton.
The sessions will follow the patten each Thursday in the month:
1st Thursday Diabetes starting on 5th February 2026
2nd Thursday Cancer
3rd Thursday Stroke
4th Thursday Parkinson’s
The peer support groups are for those living with Diabetes, Cancer, Parkinson’s and for Stroke survivors, plus their carers, family and friends. This work is being supported by West Devon CVS.
West Devon CVS are a West Devon based charity which supports the set-up of local Peer support groups. These groups connect people in the community who come together to share experiences, creating space for honest conversation, practical help and mutual understanding. Built on friendships and fun, they are a safe and supportive space to try things again, to learn more about the condition, self-care and to build your confidence. The aim is to provide a welcoming space for a coffee and a chat with someone who truly gets it.
