A message from Sarah Tutton, Chief Executive of DRWF 

"United Through Diabetes is a wonderful concept that brings the diabetes community together with healthcare professionals, public health officials, third sector organisations, and industry partners. All of whom are invested and intent on creating a brighter future for people with diabetes.

We are a small organisation that exists on voluntary donations and fundraised income. Our supporters are the backbone of the charity, with their generosity and commitment enabling us to provide beneficiary services that make a difference."


In 25 years Together we have:

  • Raised over £80 million and spent 82% of our income on awareness, education
    and research.
  • Developed an International Diabetes Wellness Network with groups in the US, UK, France, Sweden, Finland and Norway, all of whom collaborate on global awareness campaigns and invest in research funding at some of the world’s most prestigious institutions.
  • Made a significant and longstanding contribution to the UK Islet Transplant Programme, funding the DRWF Human Islet Isolation Facility at the Churchill Hospital, Oxford and 30% of its islet team.
  • Secured a Quality in Care Diabetes (QiC) award for an educational Diabetes Wellness programme that informs, inspires and empowers.
  • Achieved Patient Information Forum (PiF Tick) accreditation, a quality mark for health and social care information that is relevant, medically evidenced, up-to-date and reliable.
