Diabetes Awareness Days in Ross on Wye

Diabetes Awareness Stall in Ross on Wye

Ross on Wye Lions Club held their second stall (run by Diabetes UK Hereford) promoting Diabetes awareness in Ross Market Place. Organised by Lion David Ravenscroft, this is a Service Project of Ross Lions Club and part of a programme of Diabetes awareness events, the first of which was held in May.

Ross on Wye has a Carnival on the first Saturday of August. Ross Lions always have stalls, especially free games for children and once again a Punch and Judy visited. Alongside that fun there was the third Diabetes Awareness session and this time Ross Lions supported the Diabetes volunteers to make health assessments available free of charge.
