Diabetes UK Exeter & District

Diabetes UK Exeter & District A support group for people in the Exeter area with diabetes and those who want to know more about it The nearest car park is called "Cathedral and Quay".

Membership of the Group is open to anybody within easy travelling distance of Exeter as we cover an area from Okehampton to Axminster and Tiverton to Exmouth, Budleigh Salterton and Sidmouth. We are run by a Committee of eight people who meet about six times a year to plan meetings fund raising events and respond to requests for information from numerous bodies including Diabetes UK itself. We rec

eive no funding from either Diabetes UK or Regional Office so we have to be totally self-supporting. The amount we spend on administration is tiny but through the efforts of many people we were able to support two local research projects at the University of Exeter Medical School in 2014 and one in 2016 to the tune of £2,000 each. We try to arrange interesting meetings, not always connected directly with diabetes and we book venues which are easily accessible by public transport and those with disabilities, as well as arranging some afternoon meetings, not just evenings. Most of our meetings are held at the Palace Gate Centre off South Street, Exeter. We liaise with the children’s and young people’s group called SnackPack at http://www.snackpack.org.uk/

The Exeter Group sends out copies of our newsletter three times a year to those on our mailing list, either by post or email. If you would like to be added to our mailing list, please get in touch.
