SUMMARY:National Age Without Apology Month 2024
DESCRIPTION:What is National Age Without Apology Month?\nWorking towards a more positive narrative around age\, skincare brand Willowberry champions Age Without Apology. \nThe current age narrative in beauty can inadvertently make women feel bad about their age\, due to age-resistant wording such as ‘anti-ageing’ combined with a need for more older women to be represented in beauty imagery. \nIn 2021\, Willowberry surveyed 1\,000 women aged 30-80\, to discover their feelings on age in beauty: A huge 97% of women surveyed feel it important to see better representation of older women used by beauty brands and the media; 85% want to see more positive and realistic wording on age in beauty; 72% either don’t like the term ‘anti-ageing’ or don’t believe the anti-ageing claim; 50% even said that anti-ageing messaging makes them not look forward to getting older\, demonstrating the wider impact that beauty messaging can have on our lives. \nAs an industry\, we have a responsibility to make age visible and normal. \nOn 16th June 2021 Willowberry launched its Age Without Apology Pledge\, inviting the beauty industry to join forces to make real change\, by using better language around age and showing older ages within beauty imagery. A Founder Member Collective of industry peers support the pledge\, including Millie Kendall\, MBE\, British Beauty Council; Jane Cunningham\, British Beauty Blogger; and more. \nTo mark the anniversary of the Age Without Apology Pledge launch and to drive change to the age narrative in beauty\, Willowberry is creating a National Age Without Apology Month\, held annually in June to actively encourage people to celebrate age and ageing. \nWhen is National Age Without Apology Month?\nNational Age Without Apology Month will begin on the 1st June 2024 and run for the entire month. This will become an annual event from 2024 onwards. \nHow to get involved in National Age Without Apology Month\nFounded by Willowberry\, National Age Without Apology Month provides an alternative to the current age message\, to change the perception of age by celebrating age and the ageing process. \nWillowberry invites you to take part in this age celebration on Instagram\, by sharing who inspires you to Age Without Apology and why – whether it’s a relation\, friend\, colleague\, celebrity\, influencer\, etc – simply upload a picture of the person onto your Instagram page\, explaining why they inspire you within the caption\, using the hashtag #AgeWithoutApologyMonth and tagging in @willowberryskin \nWillowberry wants to fill social media with positive examples of age and inspire people on how to see age and the ageing process in a different light. After all\, ageing is an honour and should be revered\, not feared.

SUMMARY:Rabbit Awareness Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:Head to the Rabbit Awareness Week website to find out how you can get involved in Rabbit Awareness Week 2024. \nRAAG brings together the expertise of the RAW partners who have successfully campaigned to improve the welfare of pet rabbits for the past 17 years. \nLed by Burgess Pet Care\, the RAAG comprises the RSPCA\, Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund (RWAF)\, Wood Green The Animals Charity\, PDSA and Blue Cross. \nThe Rabbit Awareness Action Group (RAAG) is the trusted voice for rabbit welfare\, which draws on the combined knowledge of a coalition of experts who have\, for the past 17 years\, campaigned effectively through Rabbit Awareness Week (RAW) to improve the lives of pet rabbits. \nThe formation of the RAAG reflects the need to establish an on-going dialogue that ensures rabbit welfare remains high on the agenda year-round. Members of the RAAG are committed to raising awareness of the five key welfare needs of pet rabbits among owners\, particularly in light of the recent launch of the first Good Practice Code for Rabbit Welfare. \nRecognising that rabbits are one of the UK’s most owned\, but least understood\, animals\, the RAAG is determined to build on the profound and positive campaigning\, which 15 years of RAW has already achieved. Recent RAW campaigns include ‘Move Away from Muesli’\, to highlight the health risks associated with muesli-style diets\, which has resulted in fewer rabbits being fed muesli as one of their main food types – down from 49% in 2011 to 18% in 2020. This\, along with other key campaigns\, will be a key focus for the RAAG over the coming years\, helping to ensure that the UK’s pet rabbits are able to lead happy and healthy lives.

SUMMARY:Reserves Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Reservists give up their spare time to serve in the Reserve Forces\, balancing their civilian life with a military career to ensure that should their country require them\, they would be ready to serve as part of the military.\nThe Reserve Forces make up approximately one sixth of our Armed Forces personnel and as such are integral to protecting the nation’s security at home and overseas\, particularly providing capability in specialist areas such as medical and cyber. \nReservists are currently supporting operations worldwide. \nHowever\, the contribution they make to our Armed Forces often goes unrecognised. As such an annual Reserves Day was created to highlight and recognise the valuable contribution Reservists make to our Armed Forces. \nIn 2024\, Reserves Day is being celebrated on Wednesday the 26th of June. \nCelebrating Reserves Day \nReservists are everywhere\, but you might not know it. So on Reserves Day\, our Reservists wear their uniform in their civilian life here are some from the last few years! Keep an eye out for them this year. \nWe’re asking employers to thank our Reservists across the UK for their dedication\, professionalism and commitment to serving our country. Whether you are a large organisation\, small business\, charity or self-employed\, show your support on 26 June by holding a workplace talk\, organising an event or just publicly showing your support to celebrate Reserves Day. Look at our toolkits for more suggestions.

SUMMARY:National Bingo Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Bingo is a national treasure and one of the most popular hobbies in the country – over 5 million people play bingo in the UK alone\, with more than 100 million people playing online around the world and the bingo industry contributing more than £1 billion to the UK economy – more than Netflix and Spotify combined. Hence we are looking to dedicate a day for an all-inclusive\, industry wide celebration for the love and popularity of the game. \nNational Bingo Day is currently only recognised and celebrated in the USA on 27th June. Mecca Bingo wishes to mark the occasion in the UK in its 60th year to be celebrated by the UK bingo industry on the same date. The bingo game we know and love today can be traced back to Italy in the 16th century\, from around 1530\, where it was called Il Gioco del Lotto d’Italia. It later became a favourite of the French aristocracy\, where it was known as ‘Le Lotto’\, before finally arriving on British shores in the 18th century. \nEvents and activities are planned to celebrate National Bingo Day in the UK which will all be announced early next year\, however\, initial campaign details include: \n1. Downloadable resources to play bingo/street bingo at home \n2. Competitions\, quizzes and giveaways \n3. Celebrity surprise guests \n4. Chat host games \n5. Free bingo sessions online \n6.

SUMMARY:Children's Art Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:29 June – 19 July 2024\nChildren’s Art Week is a UK-wide programme run by Engage\, the National Association for Gallery Education. \nIn recent years\, Children’s Art Week has taken place online\, at home and in schools across three weeks in June and July. Each week focussed on a special theme. \nPrevious themes were… \nWeek 1 (from 29 June): The Natural World \nWeek 2 (from 6 July): Connecting across generations \nWeek 3 (from 13 July): Literacy and creative writing \nSchools\, galleries\, museums and community groups were invited to plan and register visual arts activities for children and families. These activities gave children and young people\, together with their teachers\, parents and carers\, the opportunity to take part in practical art activities with artists\, makers and educators. \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how essential creativity and the visual arts are for learning\, connecting and wellbeing. While venues\, cultural organisations and school buildings were closed\, engaging in the visual arts became more important than ever. \nIn 2024\, to support the advocacy work of the visual arts engagement and participation sector\, Engage will celebrate the amazing health and wellbeing work delivered through the sector. Check Engage’s website\, E-bulletin and social media for details. \nEngage is delighted that Children’s Art Week has been adopted by many organisations and individuals. We would therefore encourage you to make your own plans for CAW in 2024! We have a selection of templates to inspire your activity. Please share what you get up to with us by email or social media. \nVenues and organisations of all types and sizes were welcome to register events and activities — from libraries to community halls\, heritage venues and country parks\, schools and of course museums and galleries. Individual artists and makers also took part. \nActivities ranged from a live-streamed session with an artist or special activity packs\, to digital challenges engaging with online collections\, physical resources distributed by post or activity delivered over the phone — think outside the box! Events and activities were filtered by age and location\, so think about whether you would like to connect to a specific history or person from your local area and what age groups you would like to engage with. \nOrganisers are welcome to revisit existing resources and activities to programme for Children’s Art Week 2021. If you have activities\, a campaign or programme already in action\, think about how you can respond to this year’s themes and join in! \nAll registered events or activities\, excluding private events registered by schools or organisations\, must be free or low cost to participate\, and must be able to be accessed or distributed remotely. Organisers will receive support from Engage to plan\, run and publicise their events or activities. \nRegistration will open at the end of May. \nBringing Children and Art Together Children’s Art Week \nChildren’s Art Week takes place in the UK and is organised by Engage. All over the country various events will be held\, giving young people and children the opportunity to get involved in a range of art activities. \nWhat is Engage? \nEngage provides support and training for gallery education. Gallery education refers to a field which works to widen access to the visual arts for everyone. It works with gallery owners and visual arts organisations. The aim is to encourage families\, young people\, disabled people\, older people and early years groups to be more engaged with visual arts. \nHow Children’s Art Week is Celebrated \nEngage invites various organisations such as schools\, museums\, galleries and community groups to organise various visual arts events.
