Josh Evans was tragically killed in October 2008 as result of a road traffic accident and the contributing factor was having a hypoglycaemic attack at the time. Following his death a Trust Fund has been set up in his name to support children in Somerset with diabetes.

Josh was diagnosed aged 11 years old but had never let it get in way of life and was always ready to take on the challenge. He was a local lad known to the rugby and North Petherton community, but spent most of his social life in Taunton as that’s where many of his friends live.  At 21 Josh enjoyed life and was greatly loved by his family and friends, his loss has left his friends and family with the determination to help others fight diabetes by supporting his fund.

Currently the Josh Evans Trust Fund has already accumulated over £5,000 in donations and gifts, we want  to see that grow and grow so that we can help support the current NHS Infrastructure by providing the extra support, literature and knowledge required to help other diabetic children and their families in Somerset.

The trust fund is already helping local children and families in Somerset, with funds being used this summer to send a child on a diabetic activity holiday.
