About Cuppa Squad
Cuppa Squad was founded in 2015 on the belief that when people living with a particular illness come together, they can learn from one another, share experiences and provide mutual support, leading to better outcomes for everyone.
Our specific focus has been diabetes, a condition on which the NHS spends around 10% of its budget, with approximately 80% of this expenditure relating to avoidable complications.

By bringing people together in community groups, Cuppa Squad offers a low-cost approach rooted in prevention, education and peer support. From its first group, the organisation has expanded over the last 10 years to ten locations across Birmingham and has supported more than 250,000 people.
