On Saturday, 29th November 2025, I am excited to host a Festive Coffee Morning in my local community. I truly look forward to seeing many of you there! If you can't make it, would you consider buying a virtual coffee and cake? Your support will help raise vital funds for the Addison's Disease Self-Help Group (ADSHG).

As some of you may know, in December 2020, I was diagnosed with Addison's disease, a chronic and lifelong illness that affects just 1 in 10,000 people—making it 300 times rarer than diabetes. The ADSHG is dedicated to supporting everyone impacted by adrenal insufficiency, including those with Addison's disease. Their mission is driven by a bold vision: "A world where Addison’s disease and adrenal insufficiency are recognised early and managed effectively so that anyone affected can live confidently and thrive."

With your generous help, they are working tirelessly to turn this vision into reality. Every penny and pound raised can make a significant difference to this small charity. Together, we can create awareness and support for those living with this condition. Please join me in making an impact by contributing towards my target of £500 for this important cause!
