We can confirm, Amy is pulling a CAR! Our amazing fundraiser Amy did a 10km car pull last week to raise money for people living with diabetes 🤯🚘

💬 "I wanted to do something significant that represented the difficulty of living with type 1 diabetes. And what better to represent everything we carry than pulling the weight of a car for 10 kilometers!

"The challenge was extremely hard, but people living with diabetes are strong and can achieve anything we want to. I hope my challenge shows people who are maybe newly diagnosed, or going through a bit of burnout, that we really are powerful people. We can do anything we put our minds to. Type 1 makes us strong and resilient, and just like it says on the T-shirt, 'Diabetes is relentless, but so are we!'"

Well done, Amy! Thanks so much for your support 💙

We’d like to say a MASSIVE thank you to Angela, who organised a team 50k at her workplace in memory of colleague Tasha.

💬 "Tash would have loved and been embarrassed (probably in equal measure) to know that we're running, walking, cycling, horse riding in her honour, but she would have enjoyed the inevitable tales of competitiveness to get to the required 50k!"

Tasha's family choose Diabetes UK as the charity for this event. The team raised a fantastic £3,301 💙

It's been a huge pleasure to meet Angela and work alongside her and the RSA, raising awareness and funds for Diabetes UK 🙌

💙 Our young leaders: Alex, Eilidh, Valentina and Vedika, recently hosted their own webinar for healthcare professionals. This webinar had over 50 sign-ups, and its title is ‘Navigating change with type 1: A young person’s perspective.

🧡 Throughout this, our young leaders shared their personal experiences of navigating change, what went well for them and what didn’t go so well. A huge well done to all who were involved in the planning and running of the webinar, we are very proud of you all.

💙 This session was recorded and will be available on request for any healthcare professionals that may be interested or might have missed it this time round. Please contact Roisin if you’d like to get access on roisin.odonovan@diabetes.org.uk.

We’d like to give a MASSIVE shout out to Meadowburn Primary School in Bishopbriggs, Glasgow! They had a team of 16 taking on the Glasgow Kiltwalk earlier this year 💙

The numbers are in, and they've raised a phenomenal £3,985.75, including gift aid, to support people living with and at risk of diabetes. Thanks to all who walked and supported this fantastic effort! 🙌

If you'd like to get involved there is one event remaining in Kiltwalk 2025 - The Edinburgh Kiltwalk is on Sunday 14 September. We’d love to see you there! 📅

We’d like to say a MASSIVE thank you to Abby, who ran the Scottish Half Marathon on Sunday, in scorching hot weather, raising £1,000 – twice her fundraising target 🙌

Abby ran in memory of her dad, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes just a year before he passed away:
💬 “Losing him was very sudden and completely unexpected, at only 56 years old. None of us realised how serious type 1 diabetes could be as we had no family history of it, but it resulted in a devastating loss.”

“I’m running to raise awareness and to support the work Diabetes UK does in helping people manage this condition, funding research, and ensuring others don’t have to go through what we did.”

Thank you so much, Abby, you absolutely smashed it 💙

22/08/2025

On Saturday 13th September, we have organised a fun afternoon of laser tag and food!
