Who we are

Awareness built from lived experience.

DAF stands for Diabetes Awareness Foundation. We are here for people living with diabetes, those at risk, and the families, friends and carers beside them.

Our mission

Changing Diabetes Together.

Our mission is to create awareness that helps people recognise diabetes earlier, manage it more confidently and make informed choices about their health.

We believe important health information should not stay inside clinics or specialist websites. It should travel through communities and culture, in language people understand and through voices they trust.

We use sport, music and influencers to turn diabetes awareness into something people see, hear and share.

What guides us

Clear. Human. Active.

Clarity

We make complex health information simpler without losing accuracy.

Community

We listen to people affected by diabetes and create space for shared experience.

Action

We turn awareness into conversations, events, partnerships and practical support.

What we do

Meet people where they are.

  • Share clear information about types, symptoms and everyday management.
  • Create public awareness campaigns and culturally relevant content.
  • Work with athletes, artists, creators, organisations and communities.
  • Use events and media to make conversations about diabetes more visible.
  • Guide people toward trusted professional and NHS support.
