Diabetes Communities In Action

[Josh DUK]

​

Diabetes UK would like to invite you to join Diabetes Communities in Action.

What is it?

Diabetes Communities in Action is as new group bringing together people affected by and at risk of diabetes who want to influence the work and decision making of Diabetes UK and we want you to be a part of it. Anyone affected by or at risk of diabetes can join. It is not replacing any groups or relationships but bringing everyone doing involvement work together.

So, whether you are working with us already or just interested to hear what’s going on, joining this group gives you the chance to hear about all the different opportunities to be a part of and gives you the power to pick what you want to do.

Why are we doing this?

We want to ensure the experiences and knowledge of people affected by and at risk of diabetes are at the centre of all we do and believe this new community will help us achieve that.

Aims of the group:

• Be involved with activities across Diabetes UK
• Influence change
• Share in decision making
• Be representative of all communities affected by diabetes

By being a part of Diabetes Communities in Action, you will:

• Use your experiences to inform and influence the work of Diabetes UK and our partners
• Find out about all the different opportunities to be involved that are important to you
• Discover things other people are doing as part of Diabetes Communities in Action
• Have the choice of how involved you want to be and what you want to be involved in
• The chance to connect with other people affected by or at risk of diabetes.

Diabetes Communities in Action is starting life as an online community but will work with members on how to grow, adding more communication channels and reaching out to as many people as possible.
