Hard work – but rewarding
Running a group can be hard work but it can also be a very rewarding experience. You can focus on things that interest you – whether that's fundraising, awareness-raising, campaigning or offering support. Some groups are small and informal, some are large groups – and there's everything in between.
If you are interested in a setting up a group please contact the Volunteer Development team on 020 7424 1000 or email volunteering@diabetes.org.uk
