Wellness Month 2024

Wellness Month 2024

Wellbeing is about feeling good and healthy. This can include many aspects, such as physical, psychological, emotional, social, and economic wellbeing.

Wellness is how you actively try to achieve better wellbeing. This can be through the activities and choices you make. Taking steps to focus on your wellbeing can have a positive effect on managing your diabetes through relaxation and improving the quality of your sleep.

What is Wellness Month?

Take on Wellness Month this November and challenge yourself to complete a wellness activity every day for 30 days, while raising vital funds for people living with diabetes. 

Everyone’s wellness journey is different. You might want to work on your social, physical or mental wellbeing. You could get crafty, go for a walk, garden, meet up with friends, or read that book that’s been on your list forever.

It could take as little as 15 minutes a day. But your fundraising will make a lifetime of difference to people living with diabetes, supporting ground-breaking research, care and advice. 

 

How do I sign up and how does it work?

Wellness Month is free to participate in, but we are encouraging everyone to raise funds. You can sign up by following these four simple steps.
