This Christmas, we are inviting you to help us give a life-changing gift to children with Type 1 Diabetes in India.

Each blood glucose strip costs just 12 pence, yet for many families it is still out of reach. Without enough strips, children cannot manage their condition safely, meaning every day carries the risk of severe highs, lows, and emergency hospital visits.

Right now, we provide funding for 2 strips a day. But this Christmas, we want to double our support to 4 strips a day for 100 children, and are aiming to do this for the first three months of 2026 as a starting point.

Imagine starting the new year knowing that a child will have the testing supplies they need, every single day.

Imagine giving a parent the peace of mind that their child is safe.

Imagine being part of the reason a child can play, learn, and grow with confidence.

This Christmas, your generosity can make that possible.

£21.60 = 3 months additional strips for a child

Anyone who donates this amount or more, please email hello@thependseytrust.org for a personalised Christmas certificate to print and gift if you would like.
