What a fantastic day we had yesterday at The People’s Kitchen in Newcastle!

A big thank you to Jackie, Chris, Shayne the dog, and all the amazing volunteers and friends who welcomed us with open arms. 🐾❤️

It was a brilliant opportunity to promote diabetic eye screening, have some great conversations, and connect with truly inspiring people.

We’re so grateful to be part of such a supportive community - looking forward to more days like this!
