“There is a maximum of eight people per team with a chance of winning a prize and the glory of taking home the Rumwell Cup.

Compass Disability Services is a user led charity and its Board of Trustees is comprised of at least 80% disabled individuals. The charity has adopted the Social Model of Disability as a way of working to remove barriers which exclude disabled people from equality of opportunity.
It also runs Compass Wellbeing, which is the first dedicated, fully-inclusive wellbeing centre in Taunton. It aims to offer a wide range of activities, therapies and experiences that benefit members of the community, promote integration and tackles the problems caused by isolation, exclusion and loneliness.
While the charity has a background in working with disabled people, the wellbeing centre is open to people of all ages and abilities and boasts a café, garden, hydro pool and sensory room.
League of Friends Musgrove Park Hospital was formed in 1959 by the Rotary Club of Taunton. It promotes voluntary service in the hospital and raises funds to buy extra equipment over and above what the NHS can afford.
The charity runs a shop in the Duchess Building and a trolley service around the wards, supplying patients, visitors and staff with some of the little extras to make life more comfortable.
Bastable Lodge opposite A&E was also built by the charity to accommodate relatives of acute patients free of charge in times of crisis. Hundreds of individuals and families have benefitted from the lodge. To add to all this, League of Friends Musgrove Park Hospital has supported the New Jubilee Building with £422,000 worth of equipment.
