Sadly my Local monthly diabetic group are closing their monthly meetings, we will be dweedling out & gone by dec this year due to lack of funds & interest.
I am the youngest there and have been asked to come up with ideas on keeping us all going.
We had a speaker each month from various proffesions all connected to diabetes.
What i am asking is if you had a local group in your area and wanted to attract the younger generation as well as us older ones, what would you like to see?.
Personaly i don't think we advertise enough and bringing the awareness of diabetes to the community.
Have you any fund raising ideas.
I have offered my greeting cards for sale and all funds to go to the group
but i feel i'm flogging a dead horse here.
I want to make people more aware of diabetes with posters and things, even if it means getting a stall once or twice a week & handing out leaflets ect.
I have wrote to diabetes uk offering my cards & services but never get any reply, this makes me so angry all i want to do is help people. Grrrrrr.
There is nothing on the Isle of wight apart from my monthly group meeting.
any advice and ideas would be welcomed.
