Diabetes UK will be holding collections at 600 Tesco stores across the UK on 4–6 October 2013.

We need your support to raise thousands of pounds to help all those who are affected by and at risk of diabetes in the UK.

The money will be invested in:

• Life-changing support for a million people with diabetes, so they feel less scared and isolated by their condition
• Preventing thousands of future cases of Type 2 diabetes, meaning that fewer families are affected by the devastating effects of this condition
• Research into a vaccine that could stop forever the development of Type 1 diabetes in children.

We’re looking for thousands of volunteer to help with the Big Collection weekend at a local Tesco store. You might like to give us 3 hours of your time as a Collection Volunteer encouraging people to donate to Diabetes UK, or you could become more involved as a Team Leader Volunteer. You can find out more about the Team Leader role by downloading the role description.

If you'd like to help out over the collection weekend please register your interest now.

We will be in touch by email with more information and the next steps over the coming weeks.

For more information about the collections and any other questions about volunteering for Diabetes UK, please call the Tesco hotline on 020 7424 1805 or email tesco@diabetes.org.uk.
