LETTER: We’re searching for diabetes support heroes

We are searching for those unsung heroes in the community who go above and beyond what is expected of them to help support people with diabetes.

Every year thousands of people volunteer hours of their time to Diabetes UK and their efforts make a real difference to the lives of those living with the condition. The Midlands Inspire Awards are a chance to thank them for their contributions and highlight how their work has had a positive impact on the lives of others. We want to pay tribute to our incredible volunteers for the extraordinary support they give and their sheer hard work. The wide-reaching work of Diabetes UK would not be possible without their support and dedication.

From fundraising and campaigning to supporting others, there are lots of ways that volunteers help support people with diabetes.

Nominations for 2017 are now open and will close on 17 February. Our winners are chosen by judging panels across the UK and will be presented with their award later in the year.

Visit www.diabetes.org.uk/inspire-nominate to find out more.
