The Children’s Diabetes Team hosted an event this week, which turned out to be a great success, and the team managed to raise £700.

The money will go towards funding an activity weekend away for the Children with Type 1 Diabetes. (See attachments for last year's event).

James Nolan, who provided the  music for the event, said, “It was a great evening in which the families could get involved, and it was an easy way to raise funds towards the trip”.

The Mayor and Mayoress of Kirkless, Councillor Paul Kane and the mayoress Susan Bedford,   attended the event, and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Cllr Kane, said: "I now have a better understanding of how Type 1 diabetes affects the children, and also their families."

The Mayor and Mayoress spoke with the children directly during the evening and gave them his full support. Our thanks to Paul, from the Keys restaurant in Huddersfield, who has let our team use the venue for the last two years running and without charge. This has allowed the team to use all funds raised for the charity.
