Many thanks to FATFACE Taunton for choosing The Josh Evans Trust Fund as this years beneficiary, and for raising over £700 towards are annual activity trip to Kilve.
The Team at Taunton raised funds during their company wide charity week. Instead of having a black Friday sale the company distributes a proportion of profits to charities. Anyone making a purchase in any FatFace store or online between 21st and 28th November 2016 will have helped benefit hundreds of local charities. learn more
The Taunton store decided to maximise funds raised by having a cake sale, and we wish to thank everyone involved for giving up their time to bake and sell cakes on Saturday 26th of November. Raising a magnificent total of £728.96
The money raised will go towards our annual activity trip to Kilve, where we take a group of youngsters away for a few days of activity. For many this is their first time staying away from home, learning how to be independent and gaining confidence administering their medication.
Thanks FATFACE Taunton

Thanks to your continuing support we have been able to purchase more books for all three NHS teams in Somerset.
We are excited to have received the latest versions of Carbs & Cals and Type 1 Diabetes which are given to all newly diagnosed families.
WE have also purchased this new book for Yeovil team to use with younger children to see if they help, hopefully we will be able to provide these to all teams shortly.
The Santa Express 2015
This is the second year this lovely festive trip has been supported by the funding of both JETF and Balance Buddies. It is proving very popular with around 60 people attending and everyone thoroughly enjoys it. The children love the steam train experience and find it very exciting to meet Santa and receive a gift. Everyone is offered refreshments on board….a drink and small chocolate bar for the children and a mince pie and festive beverage for the adults. It is a wonderful opportunity for families with a child with diabetes across Somerset to get to know each other during a relaxed, fun event and the lovely WSR staff lead each carriage in the singing of a few carols along the way!
This year we had two unexpected events that will make the trip even more memorable – a tree on the line (due to a very windy night prior) and an extra special gift via Santa to one of our group…a marriage proposal and engagement (she said yes!).
What a great way to begin the Christmas celebrations!
A big thank you to fund raisers this month.
Jean King using her culinary skills to make apple chutney, which she has sold to raise money for the JETF and is currently making crafts to raise even more funds, top work Jean thank you.
