THE Devon Branch of the Huntington?s Disease Association is holding a special meeting in Okehampton to let people know the type of support the branch can offer to people suffering from the disease.

A Sunday lunchtime meeting is being held so that people in Okehampton can come and meet the Devon branch committee members and the regional care adviser.

The group is keen to let people in rural communities find out about the work they do.

The meeting takes place at the Plume of Feathers in Okehampton, at 12.30pm on Sunday, May 18.

Anyone who is unable to make it to the event but who would like to find out more about the Huntington?s Disease Association can contact Eric Bishop on 01363 773073 or Andrea Clark on 01840 213004.
