One Walk London 2025

400,000 people are currently living with type 1 diabetes in the UK, we want to change that.

We're taking part in One Walk London to help raise money to fund life-changing research and make a difference to the lives of people affected by type 1!

Breakthrough T1D funds world-class research, supports the T1D community and campaigns for broader NHS provision of treatments and technologies. Their collaborations with the best researchers in the world have led to new developments in diabetes technology and treatment.

This is where you come in. With your support and your generous donations, we can fund Breakthrough T1D’s important work.

Just £20 could help towards the next big T1D breakthrough. 

Whatever you can donate, it is really appreciated - Thank you!

Thank you to our Sponsors
