Have a look 🙂 Your child will be a different person when been to these 😉
 
My local Duk group helped A family go to one of these last year. Different kid now 😎
 
I have volunteered again for this. Lots of good people involved & good talks 🙂
 
Has anyone been to one this year ? Are you just keeping to yourself :D
 
Hello,

I just wanted to say that these events are brilliant, and totally change lives. They are usually an incredibly positive experience, with all the volunteers, attendees and presenters 'specialists' of one kind or another in diabetes. If you have any worries, concerns or questions, e.g. about pump specialist provision, how the days activities would run, etc just phone or email the Care Events Team for a chat. They are really kind, experienced people who should answer all your questions, and help you find an event that is right for your family. Email eventsteam@diabetes.org.uk or telephone 0345 123 2399* and ask for the Events team.

Good luck!

They really do change lives. Kids are more confident about things when they come back from these events. I wished I was a kid again :D
