How to Get Involved

Diabetes UK is the leading charity that cares for, connects with and campaigns on behalf of every person affected by or at risk of diabetes.

We provide information, help and peer support, so people with diabetes can manage their condition effectively. We are one of the largest funders of diabetes research in the UK.

Diabetes UK North West

Help make a difference to the lives of the 423,038 people living with diabetes in the North West region.

Our volunteers are at the heart of Diabetes UK and without their support we could not carry out our vital work in research, education, support and care. Our volunteers bring skills, experience, energy, enthusiasm and commitment to Diabetes UK.  Volunteering can make a big difference in your life too, giving you a brilliant opportunity to meet new people, learn new skills and have fun.

Whether you can spare an hour a month or a day a week, there are a range of ways that you can get involved in our work. 

If you are interested in volunteering you can find out about all of our current volunteer opportunities, or if you would like further details about volunteering in the North West region please contact the North West Volunteering Team on 01925 644 566 or email n.westvolunteering@diabetes.org.uk.
