Working together to support people living with diabetes.
The Drapers’ Company are supporting Diabetes UK from October 2024 until October 2025 and aiming to raise over £25,000 to support our vital work. Supporting children and young people living with type 1 diabetes is a cause close to Drapers’ heart.
Their funding will support us in our work, including our events for children and young people living with type 1 diabetes. Events like these provide time and space to build young peoples’ confidence managing the condition in a fun and safe environment, and the opportunity to share experiences with people who know exactly what life with type 1 is like. Meeting other children and families living in similar positions can make a huge difference to a child with diabetes, parents and their siblings – who might just come away with friends for life.
Four Nations Bike Ride – a journey to support people living with diabetes
The Four Nations bike ride is a 1205km tour from Scotland, through the island of Ireland, down the west coast of Wales and then east back to Drapers’ Hall in London. It will take place over 10 days, to raise funds for us. The weather will be very unpredictable as the riders navigate their way south over an ascent higher than Mount Everest.
The four riders, Neil Redcliffe, Rej Bhumbra, Piers Thomas and Richard Winstanley will visit numerous organisations with a link to the Drapers Company on their arduous journey south to raise vital funds and spread awareness of diabetes as they pedal across the Four Nations.
