Previous partnerships

Our partnership with Britvic

Our three-year partnership with Britvic began in 2018 with the aim of making sure more children with type 1 diabetes got the care they needed to thrive at school. We worked with them to deliver our Good Diabetes Care in School Award, a recognition of efforts to improve care and equal opportunities for children with type 1.  

Thanks to Britvic’s support, we worked with schools to help them provide the right clinical and emotional support to young people, resulting in 215 schools receiving the award. Our resources for schools were also ordered and downloaded over 3,000 times. 
 

Our partnership with Fitbit

A pioneering three-year partnership that not only aimed to reach millions affected by diabetes, but to also work to reduce the number of individuals at risk of developing T2 in the Fitbit community.

With Fitbit’s sponsorship, we ran our One Million Steps Challenge to help people get fit, feel great, and raise money to help change the lives of people affected by diabetes. Fitbit also sponsored our Patient Information Packs, which provide a key source of support for newly diagnosed patients or for those already living with type 2 diabetes. 

Our partnership with Florette

We partnered with Florette on the launch of a new salad range in 2019. The partnership, spanning two and a half years, meant that 3p for every pack sold was donated to Diabetes UK, raising over £60,000 in total. A healthy diet can play a key role in reducing risk of type 2 diabetes, so we were proud to work with Florette to encourage people to live healthier. 

Our partnership with Mindful Chef

We teamed up with Mindful Chef in 2022, with a shared goal of making healthy eating easier for people living with diabetes and at risk of type 2 diabetes. Throughout our partnership, two co-created recipes were available on the Mindful Chef menu every week. Our clinical team provided nutritional consultation for, and approval of, each co-created recipe.

Mindful Chef also introduced detailed clear nutritional labelling for all its meals, including carb amounts, to also help people living with all types of diabetes when carb-counting.

Our partnership with Roche

We worked closely with Roche from 2016-2022, who supported us to help improve the lives of people living with and at risk of diabetes. They helped people to understand their risk of developing type 2 diabetes through a Roche-branded version of our Know Your Risk tool, and sponsored a number of our conferences and events for healthcare professionals. Most recently, they collaborated with us on our Engaging Communities project which aims to explore and address gaps in access to diabetes care.
