A Foyle support group who has reached out to their local community and brought people together has won a volunteering award from leading charity Diabetes UK.
The Foyle Diabetes Support Group members, Anne Beattie and George Anderson, were presented with the Reaching Out and Connecting Award in recognition of their hard work, at the charity’s regional Inspire Awards, held in the Lough Neagh Discovery Centre, Oxford Island on Saturday 1 April.
Heather Causer, Volunteer Development Manager at Diabetes UK Northern Ireland, said: “The Foyle Diabetes Support Group has only recently been set up and yet has gone above and beyond in terms of their determination to reach out to all parts of the Foyle area and involve everyone impacted by diabetes. They alternate meeting venues to be as inclusive as possible and have built key relationships in Derry.
