The Warminster Diabetes UK Group was set up in March this year to offer support and information for everyone with diabetes, and their carers, in Warminster and the surrounding villages.
The group have held several informative meetings with guest speakers in the Civic Centre, and this year they have raised over £1,600. Their most recent event was a cake stall at the Christmas Market held in the Warminster Civic Centre where they raised £200.
A spokesman for the group said: "This event was very well organised and started the festive season in fine style. We wish to thank all those who supported us at the market and throughout the year. With well in excess of 1,000 people living with diabetes in the local area, our wish is to get more people, including carers, interested in our group activities."

Local Groups play a vital role in helping Diabetes UK achieve their mission of improving the lives of people living with diabetes, and working towards a world where diabetes causes no harm.
