Items include works by Monet, Andy Warhol and even Disney and movie prints! The sale will be open from 11am-4pm, with no obligation to buy!

Tuesday 21st October - BME Elders Information Day - awareness

The Diabetes Group will be manning a stand at the Black and Minority Ethnic Elders Information Day at Hove Town Hall, which allows us to raise awareness of diabetes much further afield in our community and to a wider audience. We urgently need volunteers for this and would appreciate any help, even if it's just for a short period of time. Please Contact Us if you think you can help out.

Date TBC - Chessington World of Adventures Trip

In time for the autumn half-term, the group has managed to obtain two-for-the-price-of-one tickets to go to Chessington World of Adventures for the day. We will also subsidise the cost so that the day is open to as many as possible. If you've never been before, Chessington is home to various attractions for all the family, including rollercoasters and other fun and games. Whether you're young or just young at heart and would like to go, please get in touch!

Tuesday 11th November - PALS - Patient Advice and Liaison talk

PALS is the local NHS service that deals with user feedback and complaints and is the gateway to voicing any concerns or queries you have about the NHS. Jane Bolding from PALS will speak about the service at this evening event, so if you have ever wanted to know how to make a complaint, help with resolving concerns or request information on available NHS and community services, then this talk will provide the answers. Admission is FREE and we'll start at 7:30pm at The New Madeira Hotel, Brighton.
