One of the young people from the groups stated “Some of the team had experienced the effects of diabetes through family and friends and wanted our social action project to be more personal.
On the first day we decided we wanted to do a fete, a walk and a sponsored silence. Thank you to local business owners who donated lots of prizes for our raffle, thank you to our families for making cakes to sell and the support advertising on local social media sites.”

“It’s amazing to see how much of an impact a small group of young people can make. Team 5 managed to raise £1025 in just over a week which is such an outstanding amount of money! I loved the fact the team chose the Josh Evans trust as their charity, as they really wanted to raise money to support people with diabetes but they wanted to keep it a local charity because they are aware how much even the smallest donations can make such a difference to smaller charities. I hope this inspires other young people to get involved around their communities in the future.” Team Leader – Eleanor

Great work Team 5, this is an amazing achievement
