Our Type 1 Events are a unique experience for children and young people living with type 1 diabetes and their families. The events provide the time and space to build confidence managing type 1 - in a fun and safe environment. And the opportunity to share experiences with people who know what life with type 1 is like.
We welcome volunteers with a range of experience and backgrounds. If you’ve worked with children before that’s great, but if you haven’t, please don’t let it stop you from applying.
We value enthusiasm, a sense of fun, ability to work as part of a team and most importantly ability to act responsibly and a genuine desire to help empower children and their families living with type 1 diabetes. Prior knowledge of type 1 diabetes is helpful. Most of our general volunteers have type 1 diabetes themselves, or have a family member or close friend with type 1.
The Type 1 Events programmes are currently paused whilst we review how we can support the largest amount of people whilst using our limited funds as cost effectively as possible.
However, there are other volunteering opportunities available across the charity you might be interested in, details can be found here.
Alternatively, if you haven’t already registered your interest to volunteer at a Type 1 Event, you can complete this form to do so. You will then be kept informed of the progress of the review..
