If you want to raise money for Diabetes UK then it’s time to party.

By throwing a party with family, friends, neighbours or colleagues, you’ll be helping us to raise awareness of diabetes in your local area, and raise valuable funds to support our work at the same time.

The kind of party you hold is up to you. The main thing is that you’re bringing people together, and by charging for entry, or selling treats to eat, you’re making a difference to millions of people affected by diabetes.

Remember: whether you’re thinking big or starting out small, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

Dust off the bunting

Why not gather your neighbours for a good old-fashioned street party for Diabetes UK?

One lump or two...?

If you’re feeling elegant, you could throw a traditional tea party, so get the cream teas and cucumber sandwiches at the ready.

Resources for your party

To help your party go with a swing, we've created these downloadable resources for you to use, including templates for invitations and thank-you notes, suggested menu cards, and even bunting.
