A great evening at the Diabetes transition Fayre today sponsored by the Trust Fund.

Good networking and meeting children who had been at Kilve.

We were joined by Somerset Road Safety and the Advanced Motorist Association who were promoting Ev’s Driving Tips.

A great big thank you to Phil and Karen Anderson for their recent donation to the Trust Fund which was collected at their great party to celebrate Phil’s birthday.

Your generous family and friends dug deep in their pockets and we appreciate it thank you so much.

Thanks to Maisie, Stacey, Kevin for putting our charity forward to ASDA Highbridge as a nominated charity.

The local people of Highbridge got behind us which resulted in a cheque for £200

Thank you for all of your support.

Local carnival club Vagabonds used there Christmas collections to support the Josh Evans Trust Fund, we are very grateful for there support, and to the members who nominated us for this bumper donation.

Trustees, Tracy and Harley were invited to receive the cheque at Bridgwater Rugby Club during the clubs annual dinner.

Hi JETF, just to let you know the trip went brilliantly and thank you so much for the funding to support it. Many parents expressed their appreciation to me on the day.

It was a pretty busy event with over 60 children and parents, thanks again….another great success for JETF and children with diabetes in Somerset.

Kind regards

Michelle

Children’s Diabetes Specialist Nurse

The Musgrove team are delighted to be able to offer these sessions again this year for the parents of children newly diagnosed within the previous 12 months. The Josh Evans Trust Fund financially supports the venue and refreshment costs and we know that parents find the sessions really helpful.
A set of 5 or 6 sessions are co-facilitated by the Team psychologist and either a children’s diabetes specialist nurse or a consultant paediatrician, according to the content requested by attending parents. The sessions run for 1-2 hours, every 2 weeks, early evening at living lights church. The sessions have been incredibly well evaluated by parents.
In general we hope that the group will offer parents a chance to:

• meet and learn from other families whose child has diabetes
• share experiences and helpful advice
• discuss fundraising/social ideas
• request teaching on topics of interest from other members of the team

Please contact the children’s paediatric team for more information on the latest sessions.
