What we do

Exeter Leukaemia Fund (Elf) recognises that the  COVID-19 outbreak is an exceptional event that will have an impact on the charity. 

Currently our Elf Citizen Advice Bureau Service is able to be run by telephone and Elf@Home is  able to support patients and their families in their home adhering to social distancing rules. 

We are delighted to confirm that our dedicated team of drivers have resumed our Transport Service. For more information, or if you need their support, please call 01392 493344.

Elf follows the guidelines that the RD & E Hospital has enforced and therefore the following Elf services are cancelled until further notice, counselling, aromatherapy and the filling time kiosk. We do not have a date to reopen.

Elf retail shops are currently closed due to the latest lockdown. We will update this site once they are able to re-open. Donations will be by appointment only.

If you require support please call 01392 493344 or email enquire@elfcharity.org.uk.

This will have a devastating impact on Elf's income as Elf does not receive any public or statutory funding. All our services depend on the generosity of the public and Elf own fundraising and retail activities.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our loyal supporters for their continued support, please remain safe and follow government guidelines. 

Thank you
