Diabetes Research
Our group actively raises funds to support groundbreaking research through Diabetes UK. Once we reach £5,000, we select a research project from the Diabetes UK website to fund.
As part of this initiative, we have the opportunity to hear directly from a researcher involved in the project we support.
Our most recent chosen project is:
🔬 “Growing Stem Cells into Beta Cells for Transplant“ – a promising study focused on advancing diabetes treatment.
Fundraising & Volunteering
Our group actively participates in events to fundraise and share essential Diabetes UK resources on managing diabetes.
The key events we support include:
📍 Essex Young Farmers Event
📍 Dunmow Soap Box Event
📍 Fun Trust Walk
If you’d like to volunteer and make a difference, please email us.
Help us support others and fund vital diabetes research – every donation counts.
