Make all the difference

Dominic Littlewood, co-presenter of the One Show and of Strictly Come Dancing fame has Type 1 diabetes. He said: "The number of people with diabetes in the UK has increased dramatically in recent years. As somebody with Type 1 diabetes I know first hand just how difficult it can be to manage the condition and about the serious associated complications like stroke and heart disease.

"I would urge everyone who has any unwanted jewellery, whether it is an old necklace or mismatched earrings, to send them to Diabetes UK and help them raise vital funds. It is a simple and easy thing to do, but will make all the difference."
