Volunteering

Help make a difference to the lives of 2.9 million people living with diabetes.
Our 10,000 plus volunteers are at the heart of Diabetes UK. Without this support, Diabetes UK could not carry out its vital work in research, education and care.
Our volunteers bring skills, experience, energy, enthusiasm and commitment to Diabetes UK. And volunteering can make a difference in your life too, letting you meet new people, learn new skills and have fun.
To find out about Nation-wide voluntary activities have a look at the main Diabetes UK volunteering section, or if you would like further details, please contact the Volunteer Development team on 020 7424 1000 or email volunteering@diabetes.org.uk.
