Home > BBC Lifeline Appeal 2026
Our BBC Lifeline appeal has now come to a close, but there’s still chance to have your donation doubled.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who shared our Lifeline appeal, watched the film, and gave so generously. Your kindness and compassion are helping to drive vital type 1 diabetes (T1D) research forward.
But the story doesn’t end here.
Inspired by the powerful film and the generosity of our supporters, two generous supporters have stepped forward with new match funding to keep the momentum going.
Until Sunday 5 April, every donation you make will be doubled.
Together, these donors will match every gift up to £14,000, meaning your support today can go twice as far in helping researchers push closer to the breakthroughs that the T1D community needs so urgently.
If you weren’t able to donate during the BBC Lifeline Appeal, this is another opportunity to be part of something powerful.
We now have just 14 days to unlock the full £14,000 and continue driving this vital research forward.
Every donation helps us get closer to a cure for T1D.
