Raise awareness
Diabetes Week 2008
Raise awareness… because diabetes is serious
Help raise awareness of diabetes as a serious condition.
Make people aware that diabetes can lead to heart attacks, blindness, kidney failure, amputations and strokes if left untreated.
- Get involved in giving talks on diabetes and Diabetes UK.
- Run a stall at a local event – or even organise your own event.
- Distribute Diabetes UK information – order publications, including ‘Measure Up’ materials to display in public places.
- Recruit a new Diabetes UK member. Order membership forms on 0800 585 088 and quote code 9432 (for A4 membership posters, please quote code 9433).
To raise awareness of Diabetes Week itself there are posters with a blank section for you to advertise your own activities and events during Diabetes Week. See the 'Posters' section for information on how to order these.
If you would like to get involved in awareness events, fundraising or campaigning in your local area for Diabetes Week, please contact your nearest Diabetes UK office.
