On Monday 19th December 2022, the Children's Diabetes team held a Festive Party for all patients' families to attend at Elland Cricket Club. This gave all patients a chance to meet each other and spread the festive cheer.
The Diabetes team wanted to make the party as fun as possible with lots of actitivies, raffles and of course face painting!
CHFT Charity attended the party and was happy to see so many smiles and giggles throughout the event.
We would like to give a special shoutout to Gerry who has raised £3,500 to help children who suffer with diabetes. Gerry has experienced great care from the Children's Diabetes Ward at Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust and wanted to give back to say thank you. Gerry works at the Whitehorse Pub in Halifax and this is where she has managed to do all her fundraising. This donation will really make a huge difference and we are so grateful for it!
