DRWF Fundraising: Dress brightly for Red Day for diabetes awareness
Young children aged up to five are encouraged to wear something red for DRWF Red Day in June.
DRWF is inviting all nursery and pre-schools to participate in our Red Day over the week from 10th to 14th June to celebrate Diabetes Awareness Week, which runs 10th to 16th June.
Over the week, or on a chosen day, we are encouraging young children (in early years foundation stage) up to five-years-old, to attend their pre-school or nursery wearing a red item of clothing.
If the following clothing items, e.g. a t-shirt, hair scrunchie, or pair of shoes are red these will be suitable, and parents need not to buy items of clothing specially for their child to participate in this diabetes awareness campaign.
