DRWF would like to ask all their supporters if they would consider holding a coffee morning to help the charity mark World Diabetes Day this year.
World Diabetes Day will take place on Saturday 14 November and interested supporters need to register their coffee morning by emailing DRWF. The charity can provide diabetes information and a t-shirt to each organiser.
DRWF marked World Diabetes Day last year by holding their own World Diabetes Day coffee morning to help raise awareness to the condition.
World Diabetes Day is celebrated every year on the same day and is led by the IDF and its member associations. It was created in 1991 by IDF and the World Health Organization (WHO) in response to growing concerns about the escalating threat of diabetes worldwide.
People are also being encouraged to get involved with World Diabetes Day this year by joining the campaign to light up a blue candle at home, school or in their workplace and by campaigning to get monuments in villages, towns and cities lit up blue on the day.
More information is available from the World Diabetes Day website.
