The charity works to prevent Type 2 diabetes, campaigns for and supports everyone affected by diabetes, and funds research that will one day lead to a cure.<\/p>\n<p>The students selected the charity because many know people who are affected by diabetes. Fundraising activities have included facepainting, interactive children\u2019s games and a photo booth at Reaseheath\u2019s popular lambing and zoo weekends, a stand at the college\u2019s first PRIDEfest and a sponsored 25 mile walk along Cheshire\u2019s Sandstone Trail.<\/p>\n<p>Student Association members organised a programme of activities during RAG (Raising and Giving) Week which included a raft race on the college lake, a foam party and a tug of war.<\/p>\n<p>The students have also raised awareness of diabetes by promoting the work of the charity alongside fundraising with college mascots \u2018Daisy the Cow\u2019 and \u2018Shaun the Sheep\u2019 at well attended events such as the Cheshire Show and Reaseheath\u2019s Family Festival.<\/p>\n<p>Diabetes occurs when there is too much glucose in the blood because the body cannot use it properly. If not managed well Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes can lead to devastating complications, but with the right treatment and support people living with the condition can lead a full and healthy life.<\/p>\n<p>Maria Whittaker, Diabetes UK Regional Fundraiser said: \u201cWe are incredibly grateful to all the students and staff for their support over the past 12 months and for raising awareness of diabetes in the local community. Their incredible donation will go a long way to helping us create a world where diabetes can do no harm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>RAG Vice President Chelsey Rowntree said: \u201cI am so proud of the staff and students who have worked hard to raise money for a charity close to Reaseheath\u2019s heart. I would like to say a big thank you to Diabetes UK for all the help they have given us by attending some of our fundraising events and supplying us with merchandise and literature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The students have raised several thousand pounds in addition this year for other charities including the Royal British Legion\u2019s Poppy Appeal, Murphy\u2019s Poppy Appeal, St Luke\u2019s Hospice and several animal charities.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past 31 years, Reaseheath students and staff have raised nearly \u00a3300,000 for local charities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-4474f20d2389e2e5ecf918a02da5132e\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-4474f20d2389e2e5ecf918a02da5132e{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-4474f20d2389e2e5ecf918a02da5132e hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caring students and staff from Reaseheath College in Nantwich have raised over \u00a316,000 for charities during the academic year.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":89724,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[468],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
