To spread awareness of type 1 diabetes to children, their families and the wider public. To help people gain an understanding of the autoimmune disease, identify its symptoms, properly managing the condition and living in social acceptance.
Having Fun with Type 1 goes beyond spreading awareness about Type 1 diabetes. It is about gaining knowledge of autoimmune diseases and combating differentiation and discrimination against children with these conditions. The importance of teaching the young population to make a shift towards a sustainable healthy lifestyle and in return improving their mental health and well-being. Through a healthy lifestyle, we prepare individuals to be more resilient in facing the challenges of the future. Core to Having Fun with Type 1's vision is working closely with schools and educational leaders, as well as parents and carers, to build a sustainable culture of healthy living and well-being across the whole school environment and family unit.
