What is One Walk?

Join hundreds of people coming together to change the future for everyone living with type 1 diabetes. One Walk is not just a sponsored walk, it is so much more! Join us for a celebration of the type 1 community and a fun day out for people of all ages and abilities – from the littlest legs to the most brisk power-walkers.

On the day you can:

• Visit our information stand and talk to staff to find out more about type 1
• Keep the kids entertained with things like face painting and other fun activities
• Take in the beautiful scenery and do something active with your Saturday morning
• Meet others who understand what it means to live with, or support a loved one with the condition.
• Earn your very own bespoke wooden One Walk medal

Let’s unite, have fun and raise vital funds for type 1 research.
