DIABETES UK. DONCASTER VOLUNTARY GROUP.
Doncaster Diabetic Society, the local support group for people with Diabetes. Formed in 1976 as a branch of the British Diabetic Association, we are a fully fledged support, fund-raising and campaigning group, made up of people with Diabetes, their families and friends. We are here to help, support, advise and promote all aspects of "living with Diabetes". We work closely with the Healthcare Professionals who care for people with Diabetes in this area. The British Diabetic Association became Diabetes UK in June 2000. Due to changes in the Charter for Diabetes UK Voluntary Groups 2007,  we were required to change our group name to Diabetes UK Doncaster Voluntary Group. This change came into effect in July 2007.  The local group meet on the first Tuesday of each month (except August) at 7.30pm in the Diabetes and Endocrine Centre at Doncaster Royal Infirmary.

Membership is free and is open to everyone with an interest in Diabetes.   Contact 01302 369152 for more information.
