Over the past 10 years the iLab, on Barnstaple High Street, has established itself as one of the region’s number one stores for smartphone and tablet sales and repairs.
In this time the team have successfully fixed an astonishing 50,000 of our tech devices, winning numerous customer service awards along the way.
To celebrate the iLab’s 10th birthday, the team have set themselves the challenge of raising £10,000 for North Devon Hospice.
Paul Selvey, owner of the iLab said: “This is a cause close to our hearts, because everyone in North Devon will know of someone who’s life has been touched by the care our hospice provides. They support nearly 3,000 local people every single year, but the pandemic has hit fundraising efforts hard, which has prompted us at the iLab to help.”

The loneliness felt during this year of lockdown has been difficult enough for most people to deal with, but it has been even harder for those who have lost someone they love and have had to deal with it in isolation.
However, a volunteer from North Devon Hospice has been making a real difference, by reaching out to support an incredible total of 325 local bereaved people since the start of lockdown in March 2020.
North Devon Hospice cares for patients and families dealing with an incurable illness, and Colin Ford has been giving his time to help these people for nearly three years. A trained counsellor with a background in the probation service, Colin’s role is to contact those local people who have lost a loved one, to offer support and counselling. This vital outreach has been more important than ever during this last year.
