Hi John,
As the year wraps up, we hope you’re able to take a well-earned breather and look back on what we’ve achieved together in 2025. It’s been a busy one, but also a year full of momentum, brilliant new ideas and real progress.
A couple of standout moments helped spark important conversations. During Diabetes Week, we reached hundreds of thousands of you about the importance of getting vital health checks. Then, just last month on World Diabetes Day, we kicked off our Strike Out Stigma campaign, connecting with millions and helping to shift how diabetes is talked about.
We also saw our flagship One Million Step Challenge raise over £1 million, alongside a truly historic moment for diabetes research. For the first time ever, an immunotherapy for type 1 diabetes has been licensed for use in the UK. It's the sort of development that can only happen because of the depth of your support.
None of this happens without you. Thank you to everyone who campaigned, volunteered, fundraised and stayed engaged with us this year. Your support makes a real difference, and together we’re building towards an even stronger 2026.
