About Us

Norwich & District Diabetes Youth Group

A voluntary group of parents and friends who offer support for families, raise funds for local hospitals
and organise fun activities for children with diabetes

The Norwich and District Diabetes Youth Group is run by volunteer parents of children with diabetes. We put time and effort to run the group as we believe it gives the children with diabetes and their families in the Norwich and District area a great networking opportunity that can really help us all deal with the day to day issues relating to Diabetes Care.

If you would like to support us, help with events or simply help as and when needed, please contact us.

OUR AIMS

The aims of the Youth Group are to provide a fun and supportive framework for our members and their parents up to the age of 18.

We organise special activities targeted at a variety of age groups which will bring together children with the same condition in a fun and relaxing environment where they can see that they are not the only ones who have diabetes.

These events really benefit the children but also provide an excellent opportunity for parents to meet up to share experiences and solutions to problems and helps develop a framework of support outside of the hospital.

As a group we also raise funds which not only support the activities we do but also provide: -

• Help to purchase Diabetes text books for newly diagnosed patients
• Clinic Reward Vouchers for children who reduce their Hba1C results
• Support with funding of specialist equipment
• Support with the education into good diabetes care and control.
