HOW THE MONEY YOU RAISE COULD HELP…….
£5 could provide a lifeline to parents of a child recently diagnosed with
Type 1 diabetes. The information and advice we provide will tell them what they
need to know about living with diabetes, what to expect and where to find support
to help the whole family cope.
£25 could provide a listening ear for someone in need through our peer
support service. We invest in training for our specialist volunteers who all have first
hand experience of living with diabetes.
£95 would cover the cost of keeping our Careline open for half an hour. The
Careline answers around 40,000 calls every year and is a lifeline to many people who
may be confused, upset or angry after their diabetes diagnosis. The counsellors provide a listening ear and the time to talk issues through in a confidential and supportive way.
£240 would pay for one person to attend a Family Support Weekend for people living with diabetes. These are very informative weekends and give people that have been diagnosed the opportunity to network with others who have diabetes. It provides a
platform to make new friends and talk things through with people who understand.
£365 could pay for a child to attend a week long event for children and young
people. We provide bursaries for children and families who might not otherwise be able
to attend. These trips are packed with fun activities and offer a unique opportunity to meet and learn from others. For many it is the first step towards managing their own diabetes.
£500 will help us connect with the 7 million people at risk of Type 2 diabetes
by training 10 risk-assessment volunteers. These superheroes can be found at
our Healthy Lifestyle Roadshows: raising awareness, educating people about their risk
and helping them to reduce their risk of developing the condition.
£1000 could fund research to improve the lives of people with diabetes. This
would allow you to choose a project from our broad portfolio and adopt it for a year.
You would become a stakeholder in ground-breaking work supported by Diabetes UK.
