Calling anyone who lives with type 1 diabetes, has a loved one with it or a variation of T1D like LADA etc.
We are practically bursting at the seems with excitement to create something Dorking doesn’t have but our type 1 diabetic community needs.
Who is behind this?
• A local GP, Ivan.
• Surrey Souls founder, Amanda (type 1)
• A friend of Ivan’s who is type 1 diabetic & an endurance sports enthusiast, Giacamo & his wife Francesca, who is also in the medical sphere.
Too often after diagnosis we are sent home and pretty much left to our own devices.
There is SO MUCH to navigate when you live with this condition. For everyone. Parents, partners, friends.
It’s not easy to operate like a real pancreas 24/7.
So many feelings, emotions, questions, fears, situations to wrap your head around.
We hope to offer opportunities to invite inspiration and hope into life with type one.
We’re going to be hosting regular meet ups, for anyone who lives with type in their lives. Personally or second hand.
Down the line we hope to open up events where we can come together and do something fun and active like hiking, yoga and other wellbeing experiences.
We also hope to bring in inspiring individuals who live with type one in the sporting world or who have exceeded expectations & really reached beyond type one.
All this to say, if you want to know when we’re hosting our first FREE event, sign up on the website. www.surreysouls.co.uk
