Challenges
Diabetes UK West Midlands
Are you a seasoned fundraiser who fancies a step up from gentler events? Or maybe you're already a thrillseeker and want to help a good cause at the same time?
Whatever your motivation, we welcome your support. We have a range of challenges on offer, including abseiling, zip slides, parachuting and white water rafting - all raising desperately needed funds to help people with diabetes.
If no forthcoming events are listed below, please check back later - new events are added regularly.
Forthcoming events
Some people jump out of a plane for kicks, others pluck up the courage for a good cause – you can combine the two with Diabetes UK.
For further details, please contact your local Diabetes UK office.
