Diabetes UK Speaker Scheme

Jon Mackeen is a Speaker Scheme Volunteers for Diabetes UK. 

Jon is part of a network of speakers trained and supported by Diabetes UK to deliver talks and presentations and is keen to attend a meeting of your group to talk to your members about diabetes and the work of Diabetes UK.

3.2 million people have diabetes in the UK and more than half a million people don't know they have Type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is one of the biggest health challenges facing us today; it puts people at greater risk of heart disease, blindness, kidney failure and amputations. It is important that we raise awareness of the seriousness of the condition so that people know the symptoms of diabetes and to help reduce the risk of life-threatening complications.

As part of Diabetes UK's drive to raise awareness of diabetes Jon is happy to provide this service free of charge and asks that your group considers supporting Diabetes UK by making a donation or organising a fundraising activity, however there is no obligation on you to do this.

Also you may pass on this information. Please note Jon is not medically trained and cannot give medical advice.
