DIABETES AT THE CENTRE

Understanding.
Connection.
Everyday support.

We want to help build a community where people living with diabetes and their families feel seen and supported.

Listen first

Let the experiences of people living with diabetes and their caregivers help shape the support we develop.

Build connections

Work towards links with qualified healthcare professionals and reliable resources.

Care with dignity

Approach every person as a neighbour, with respect for their choices and circumstances.

These are the foundation’s intended areas of work. Programme availability, locations and partnerships will be announced as they are confirmed.

THE STORY CONTINUES

Care has a place at the table.

The same purpose inspires Joy’s Table, a proposed initiative that connects nourishment with conversation and belonging.
