Can You Spare 3 Hours to Support the Big Collection Weekend?

Diabetes UK

Available Across the United Kingdom

What's This All About?

Diabetes UK needs your help to make a real difference! We're partnering with Tesco to raise an incredible £10 million that will create healthier communities and provide vital support to people affected by diabetes.

On October 4th, 5th, and 6th, we're hosting collection events at approximately 600 Tesco stores across the country. Could you give just 3 hours of your time to support this important cause at a Tesco near you?

We're looking for 8,000 amazing volunteers nationwide to help us reach our weekend target of £400,000. Your participation could be the difference that changes someone's life.

To find your nearest participating store and choose your preferred shift, please visit www.diabetes.org.uk/big-collection

Your efforts will directly fund:

1. Groundbreaking Research: We're working on a vaccine that could permanently stop Type 1 diabetes from developing in children. Imagine a future where no child has to face this diagnosis.

2. Life-Changing Support: We'll reach one million people living with diabetes, helping them feel less isolated and more empowered to manage their condition with confidence.

3. Prevention Programs: We'll prevent thousands of future Type 2 diabetes cases, protecting families from the serious health complications this condition can cause.
