Debbie said: “I signed up as a Team Leader for the Big Collection weekend because I am a very proud mummy to a little girl with Type 1 diabetes!

“Zoe is 10-years-old and was diagnosed just after her 6th birthday. I have personally seen how much a charity can help and I want to do what I can to give back to Diabetes UK. Last year we raised over £1,000 which was fantastic! Loose change really can all add up! There may be a few surprises at the Ballymena store so pop along as you wouldn’t want to miss it!”,

Volunteers can collect for however long suits them, from one hour to a full day from June 13-15.
