JDRF is the type 1 diabetes charity.

We won’t stop until we create a world without type 1 diabetes.

We are committed to eradicating type 1 diabetes and its effects for everyone in the UK with type 1, and at risk of developing it. To work towards a day when there is no more type 1 we:
• fund world-class research approved and administered by our international research programme to cure, treat and prevent type 1 diabetes
• make sure research moves forward and treatments are delivered as fast as possible.
• give support and a voice to people with type 1 and their families
