Where your money goes
At DRWF we aim to support people with diabetes by raising awareness, providing support and funding vital research to ensure everyone living with diabetes is "staying well until a cure is found..."
What we do
Every year we fund diabetes research in the UK & around the world in order to understand the causes, prevention, treatment and management of the condition. Our ultimate goal is to find a cure.
Our first research award was made in 1999 for a small equipment grant. Since then we have committed more than £12 million to diabetes research in the UK and around the world.
We raise awareness of all forms of diabetes so that people may take preventative actions and access the right support and guidance.
We also host events every year to ensure that people take a pro-active approach to wellness and self-care, to reduce the risk of complications and enhance quality of life.
The money we raise helps us get closer to our vision of a world without diabetes.
How We Can Help at DRWF

Each year we run events for people living with diabetes, ranging from educational workshops and wellness events, to fundraising marathons and group skydives. To find out more about our events and how we support people living with diabetes, please visit our Events Page.
Research

In 2004, we made a significant commitment to Islet Cell Research and Transplant, a programme which focuses on the role of islet cells in diabetes.
