Donate

We are a registered charity and we don’t get any money from the Government. To continue our important work, we depend heavily on donations.

 

Every penny you raise will be turned into life-changing support. Here are just some of the ways your money can help:

 

  • £1 funds giving essential information about managing diabetes to someone newly diagnosed
  • £5 will fund vital information to support people to manage their diabetes, helping them to avoid devastating complications
  • £95 funds the cost of keeping our Careline open for 30 minutes, providing a lifeline for someone worried, confused or vulnerable.

There are many ways you can donate and make a real difference to the lives of people affected by diabetes:
