The team at NEEDS work hard to try and support people living with diabetes across North East Essex. One of the ways in which we do this, is through education. Helping to facilitate and support adult learning in a friendly, comfortable manner which allows you to meet your education goals. Whether that is: you to improve your knowledge of diabetes; share experiences with other like-minded people; re-motivate you with regards to your diabetes or to update your skills.
