Impact volunteering is perfect for busy people who’d like to get involved and help Diabetes UK but don’t have much time to give. You’ll be helping us by carrying out quick activities when you get a few moments to spare that make a big difference to people with diabetes.

A great benefit of being an Impact Volunteer is that you can do it at any time or anywhere. Even the smallest actions can make a big positive difference to people with diabetes in your local area.

Each month we will send you a few different tasks that you can choose to take part in, so this can be a varied role. Tasks may include: Let us know what is happening in your area that we could be involved with, Support Diabetes UK campaigns, Taking leaflets and posters along to local community venues such as libraries and community centres, Liking and sharing posts on social media to help us reach more people.

We particularly welcome people from global majority communities in this role as we know people from these communities are at a greater risk of developing diabetes due to a number of factors.

Skills needed

It is an advantage to be computer literate as this role involves using an online volunteering platform, however, we can support people who are not confident online.

Benefits for the Volunteer

With this role, you can be involved in Diabetes UK activities even if you don't have much time to spare. This is an opportunity to use your knowledge of your local community to help spread key diabetes messages.
