ABOUT CEDA
CEDA is a registered charity, based in a purpose adapted building on the outskirts of Exeter providing support services to disabled people with a focus on independence and empowerment.
It was set up in 1988 by a group of parents who wanted positive futures for their adult children, once they had left school. In 2000 we expanded and began working with children too.
We pride ourselves on responding to service users needs and finding imaginative and creative ways to work with disabled people.
The CEDA team are hard working, committed and knowledgeable in their field; many have worked at CEDA for a long time. The staff are positive and highly motivated, making CEDA the leading organisation it is today.
The day-to-day running is overseen by Renata Colley and Diana Cole who job share the role of Director, who, between them, have worked at CEDA for over 30 years.
The management team co-ordinate and run the different services CEDA has to offer:
Renata Colley & Diana Cole - Co-Directors
Sarah Denny- Community Services Manager
Craig Bowden- Adult Services Manager
Rachel Temple- Youth Service Co-ordinator
Nick Cranston- Youth Service Co-ordinator

CEDA also employs a team of enablers to work with the adult service users and a team of playleaders and playworkers to work with the children and young people who attend the various children's clubs.
CEDA is committed to developing the staff and actively supports the whole team to access as many training opportunities as possible.
