The One Point Foundation has been very busy this past year, supporting numerous great local causes. Below, we take a look back at The One Point Foundation's activity over the past 6 months:

The One Point Foundation donated £100 to Principal Software Architect, David Carr, as he takes part in the One Million Step Challenge in support of Diabetes UK.

David:

"I'm taking part in the One Million Step Challenge to support people affected by diabetes. I've not been very active recently but this is a cause I want to support and be more active at the same time. Please help me to raise funds for a great cause, I'm aiming to do at least 10,000 steps a day from now until September. There are 4.7 million people living with diabetes in the UK, the complications of which lead to over 500 premature deaths every week. So, I'm stepping towards a healthier me, and a better future for people living with diabetes."
