Volunteering and Diabetes Uk

[Stefan Diabetes UK]

Yes, Diabetes Voices is another great way to get involved - you can see some examples of the campaigning that members of the network have been involved in: https://www.diabetes.org.uk/Get_involved/Campaigning/our-campaigners
But you can get involved more generally with the wider Diabetes Voices network as well. Perhaps @everydayupsanddowns knows a little more...🙄

Also, @Stefan Diabetes UK can answer questions about the DV network too 🙂

Hi @Radders great to hear you're interested in volunteering, and I'll be happy to tell you a bit about what Diabetes Voices is all about 🙂 In short, if you sign up you'll get regular updates on how to campaign for better diabetes care and support with Diabetes UK. But you choose what and when you'd like to be involved in and there's no commitment to do anything in particular. You can sign up here https://www.diabetes.org.uk/get_involved/campaigning/diabetes-voices

You'll have the chance to be involved a wide range of things, from completing surveys to speaking at Parliament. For example this month there's a chance to join our Clinical Champion Review Panel, and help us choose which clinicians deserve to be Diabetes UK Clinical Champions (https://campaigns.diabetes.org.uk/page/19958/data/1). Or you can write to your MP and ask them to come to our Future of Diabetes debate in Parliament next week (https://campaigns.diabetes.org.uk/page/20218/action/1).

Though I should add anyone can get involved in either of the above two opportunities, so if anyone is interested please do join in 🙂

Thanks Stefan, I will certainly look into that but for now I have decided to apply to be a fundraising ambassador.
