The Kick Diabetes Out of UK event was delivered on 15th November 2025 in two impactful sections, combining sport, health awareness, and community engagement. The first section featured a vibrant football tournament with 10 teams competing,  which took place at Tettenhall College. The tournament brought together players, supporters, and community members to promote physical activity as a key tool in diabetes prevention. The matches encouraged teamwork, fitness, and social inclusion while raising awareness about the importance of maintaining an active lifestyle.

The second section focused on health education and empowerment through a Diabetes Fashion Show and symposium, which took place at Genting Casino.

This unique event creatively highlighted confidence, inclusivity, and living positively with or preventing diabetes. The fashion show was complemented by expert talks and community discussions on diabetes prevention, management, and mental health awareness, emphasising the strong connection between physical and emotional wellbeing.

A special thank you goes to our generous sponsors, Rotary Club of the City of Wolverhampton, Tettenhall College, and Genting Casino, whose invaluable support helped make this successful and impactful community event possible.
