Tough Ten Challenges

Raising funds for:


Diabetes UK

Diabetes is serious life-long condition. Within the South West region, there are currently over 224,000 adults living with diabetes and 1,665 children (0-15) with Type 1 diabetes who may require 95,000 injections during their lifetime.

In addition it is estimated a further 98,000 adults have the condition but don’t know it and these figures are set to rise dramatically over the next couple of years.

Diabetes UK is the largest organisation in the UK working for people with diabetes, funding research, campaigning and helping people live with the condition. We provide practical support and information and advocacy services to help people manage their diabetes and work with health care professionals to ensure the highest quality of care.

Diabetes UK South West works at a local level to respond to local needs. Across the region we are made up of a team of staff members and networks of volunteers and voluntary groups. Together we continue to support all people with diabetes.
