Fundraising
Our work simply couldn't happen without our amazing fundraisers, who raise the funds that help us support people living with diabetes, and fund the vital research into new treatments and ultimately a cure.
Whether you're up for running a marathon, skydiving from a plane, hosting a pub quiz or shaving off your beloved beard. There are lots of ways to make a difference and raise money to support people living with all forms of diabetes.
If you're new to fundraising, don't worry. We have a friendly and dedicated team who can help you all the way to reaching your fundraising goal!

We want your event to be as fun, successful and most importantly, as safe as possible. Always be sure to check with the relevant authorities before undertaking any kind of event open to members of the public.
