WE ARE asking for your help to find unsung heroes across South Wales who go above and beyond what is expected of them to support people with diabetes.

More of us than ever before are now living with diabetes, which is why hundreds of people volunteer their time to Diabetes UK Cymru, to help improve the lives of people affected by the condition.

To put it simply, without their support and dedication our work just wouldn’t be possible.

This is why we want to take the chance to celebrate the people in your community who are doing extraordinary things to support people with diabetes or those at risk of developing the condition.

Our Diabetes UK Cymru Inspire Awards are a chance to thank our amazing supporters for their contributions and highlight how their work has had a positive impact on the lives of others across Wales.

We want to pay tribute to our incredible volunteers for the extraordinary support they give and their sheer hard work.

From running marathons and raising awareness of Type 1 diabetes in schools, to helping people find out how to reduce their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, there are lots of ways volunteers help support people with diabetes.

We hope that your readers will take this opportunity to nominate someone who has made a difference to people living with diabetes by completing a nomination form on our website, diabetes.org.uk, by January 25.

All nominees and winners will be invited to our special awards ceremony, which will be held in March.
