What we’re about
This group is for young individuals living with Type 1 Diabetes in Melbourne who are looking to connect with others facing similar challenges and triumphs.
Come join our community of motivated, resilient young people navigating life with T1D! This group is aimed at T1 diabetes children ideally between the ages of 11 and 15 years.
Whether your child is newly diagnosed or a T1D veteran, this is an opportunity to join others for fun around shared interests, such as Board games, art and craft activities, they can share their favourite recipe or chat about their favourite sport.
Kids can share tips and tricks for managing diabetes, and most importantly, have a good time together as children.
A little about myself who has started this group-:
I am a grandmother of a T1D teenager (13yrs old) and would like for my grandchild to meet others and form friendships.
I am also a community support worker and have Working with Children police check. My colleague, Julie who will be helping me on the day is a professional secondary school teacher. This group is open to ideas or suggestions from the children for events and is a community initiative.
All events are to be RSVP'd by the adult in care of the child. Members of this meetup can only be over 18yrs.
( All children must at all times be accompanied by their parent, grandparent, adult, guardian or carers during any event )
First event is 11 July during the next school holidays June/July 2024.
Feel free to contact myself for any queries
