Type 1 Events
Due to the current situation with Covid-19, we've cancelled our first two events of 2020.
We will contact you when we have more information, so you can still register your interest. You can also apply to volunteer at a future event.
In the meantime, if you have any questions please email type1events@diabetes.org.uk.
While our face-to-face events are on hold, we’re running online Q&A sessions for parents and carers of children living with type 1 diabetes. Read more about these below.

Are you interested in volunteering at Type 1 Events?
Type 1 Event Q&A Panel Sessions
Join us to hear the personal experiences of our panellists – volunteers living with type 1 diabetes. You’ll be able to ask them any questions you have about what it’s like to grow up and live with diabetes. Each 90 minute session will cover one or two topics. Our volunteers are very open and happy to share their personal experiences. The session is free of charge and is aimed at supporting you - parents and carers - rather than your children, or adults with type 1.
The next session is:
Ups and Downs of Diabetes Tech - Tuesday 15 December, 7-8.30pm
Please sign up to the session by completing our online form. If you’re unable to attend this session, you can still complete the form so we can let you know when more sessions and topics are announced.
After you’ve signed up, you’ll be sent a link and a password to access the session via Zoom. You can use this on your smart phone, or on a computer or laptop if it has speakers. You won’t be able to use your microphone or camera, but you’ll be able to ask us questions during the panel through the Q&A function. If you don’t have access to an internet connection, we’ll provide you with a phone number to dial in and listen to the call.
