Founded in 1986, Clyst Caring Friends began as a transport service when Dr Walker who, at that time, was working at the Pinhoe surgery realised there was a need locally to help patients get to and from their surgery appointments. With the help of local patients, Pearl Isaacs and Pauline Mortimore Clyst Caring Friends was born.
Many years have passed since then and Clyst Caring Friends also now provide several other services within the local community.
