Meet Irum, one of our Community Health Champions 🏘💙 Through her lived experiences, she has been helping others better manage their #diabetes and access health services in #Walsall
She has also just completed her Level 3 Mental Health qualification, and we’re excited to announce that Irum will be supporting our next health programme (coming soon) to help even more of our customers.
We're proud of our programme's outcomes and how it's helped to upskill Irum into a permanent role within #housing and health😊
Almighty. Make us among those who fast sincerely for Your sake. May You accept our worship and nights in prayer which we do in full submission. Keep us away from heedlessness and forgive all our sins. Aameen.
Have a blessed Ramadan! The best month of the year! It's a month of fasting, prayer, revelation, forgiveness, kindness, generosity, peace, supplication, brotherhood, humility, empathy, charity, happiness, habit building, integrity, repentance, recitation, remembrance of the Almighty and reconnecting with Him.
Satan always wants you to worry. He makes you worry about what’s to come so you won’t be at ease now. He makes you doubt the Almighty’s Mercy. He makes you feel hopeless. Stop listening to him. Focus on your Lord and His plans for you.
We partnered with @DUK_research to create advice for patients about fasting with Diabetes in Ramadan.
Our updated factsheets are available in English, Arabic, Bengali, Gujarati and Urdu, and can be ordered for FREE or downloaded via the Diabetes UK shop: https://t.co/fm6WxsMwbR
