Working with Diabetes UK to Support Foot Health & Comfort

We are incredibly proud to announce that we are now supporting Diabetes UK, the UK’s leading diabetes charity. It is one of our long-standing missions to support foot health and wellbeing, providing added comfort for people with diabetes who need additional foot care. Working with Diabetes UK, who are known for their impact in diabetes care and support, feels like a natural step for us. The partnership will see us work together to provide information and advice on how people with diabetes can look after their feet. This will include guidance on improving foot comfort and reducing the risk of foot‑related complications associated with the condition.

Diabetes UK is the largest charitable funder of diabetes research in the UK. They support people living with diabetes by fundraising, campaigning, and working tirelessly to improve understanding of the condition. Their work helps millions of people across the country, and we are extremely honoured to be supporting such a prestigious charity. 

Claire Hall, Head of Philanthropy and Partnerships at Diabetes UK, said: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Gentle Grip and to have the opportunity to engage with their customers, to raise awareness of Diabetes UK and the support we can provide for the millions of people living with diabetes. It’s so important to look after your feet when you live with diabetes, and it’s a great opportunity to share information and resources with customers, so that people can live happy and well with diabetes.”

This marks an important step in strengthening our commitment to raising awareness around diabetes and how vital foot care is. We understand that for many people living with diabetes, foot comfort can make a big difference. Our range of diabetic socks provide features such as smooth toe seams, breathable fabrics and an extra-wide construction, all to enhance comfort. These thoughtful details are valued by customers who are looking for socks crafted for sensitive feet.  

From diabetic slipper socks to trainer socks and walking socks, our wide range of diabetic socks prioritise comfort. Together with our Strategic Partnership with The Royal College of Podiatry, we will continue this focus, and encourage meaningful conversations around diabetes and foot care.
