Not enough people understand diabetes. They don’t realise how many people it affects. They don’t realise how serious it is. And for too many it’s just a punchline to a bad joke.
We’re fighting to make sure people know diabetes. It’s a fight you can join. We need your help to share knowledge, build understanding, and tackle stigma.
You can help people know how to reduce their risk of complications. And when things do get tough for people you can help us make sure they get the support they need.
Share your story
Whether it’s writing a blog or talking to the media your stories and experiences can help us show other people the reality of living with diabetes every day.
Become a Community Champion
Our Community Champions are a dedicated group of volunteers building understanding of the seriousness of diabetes in their local communities.
Share your story with people in your area
Our volunteer speakers raise awareness about diabetes and our work in their local communities.
As a speaker we’ll train and support you, and you can fit your volunteering around the things you already do. Take a look at what’s going on near you and discover how you can become a volunteer speaker.
