Adopt a Project
This scheme allows Diabetes UK voluntary groups or any community groups, companies, clubs, associations and individuals the chance to support diabetes research by "adopting" a project. Adoptions last for one year; the minimum donation is £1,000.
In return for their generous donations, all adopters receive an update on the progress of their project and get a special thank-you listed with their project. You can find out more about the research projects taking place in your region in the Research Project Directory.
Company fundraising
Diabetes Week is a great opportunity to associate your business with Diabetes UK and help create a positive impact on the 3.8 million people in the UK living with diabetes. Help support a fantastic cause by getting your employer and colleagues involved in workplace fundraising. To find out more, email partershipenquiries@diabetes.org.uk.
