State of the art gym equipment purchased to provide the necessary machines for all to benefit, from the young to the old and for those with significant disability.

The League of Friends of Budleigh Salterton Hospital was formed in 1948,  to support the comfort of patients in what was the old cottage hospital, with 22 beds and a small accident and emergency unit.  It became clear in 2012 with the change in the way health services were delivered that the hospital would loose its inpatient beds.
 
Rather than lose this wonderful asset for the health of our community, The League of Friends became the main support and driving force for its development into an integrated health and wellbeing hub for the local area, putting in around £600,000 of financial support. 
 
In 2017 The Hub opened, subsequently becoming known as “Seachange” in 2021.  The League of Friends, now known locally as The Budleigh Fund, continues to support Seachange in many ways, through specific projects and general support to help Seachange become independently sustainable as a charity.
