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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Waihee III on July 31 and is celebrated annually. \nEstablished as a day to honor the flag\, its history and meaning\, the day was supported by park staff at Pukohola Heiau National Historic Site on the Big Island. One of only 3 sites in Hawaii permitted to fly the flag independently of any other national flag\, the park has significant historical importance. \nThe Flag of Hawaii was designed in 1816 during the reign of King Kamehameha I and finally adopted in 1845. The flag consists of white red and blue stripes\, that attribute to various historical flags of the United Kingdom\, whilst at the same time stripes reminding us of the American flag. A smaller depiction of the flag of the United Kingdom in the left upper corner reminds us about the tight relations of Hawaii with the UK. \nThe Hawaiian flag was changed several times until its final adoption. Originally there were either seven or nine horizontal stripes\, but eight stripes were adopted in 1845 to represent all eight major islands of the state. \nFor Hawaiians\, the flag is a distinguished symbol of the time when alii in the Hawaiian Kingdom could govern with absolute sovereignty. During the overthrow of the monarchy\, Hawaiians incorporated the flag into quilts and wall hangings to pledge their allegiance to a sovereign nation.

It is often the simplest ideas\, the free and found opportunities\, which offer the most fun\, and are the most developmentally beneficial for children and young people. \n\nPlay is essential at all ages and stages of childhood\, and is particularly important during times of crisis.\nPlay helps children and young people make sense of the world around them\, deal with challenges\, and build resilience.\nPlay is fun\, enabling children and young people to make friends\, blow off steam\, and cope with stress and anxiety.\nPlay is vital for children and young people’s health\, happiness\, and skills development including creativity\, imagination\, and sense of adventure.\n\nMake this Playday\, and every day\, an adventure! \nFor the latest updates on this year’s campaign follow us on Facebook and Twitter and get involved using the hashtags #Playday2024 and #PlayingOnAShoestring. \nFind out more about Playday. \nPlayday is coordinated by Play England\, Play Wales\, Play Scotland and PlayBoard Northern Ireland.

Allotments have many benefits. They bring people together and unite them through their shared love of low-cost\, healthy fresh fruit and vegetables\, physical exercise and social interaction. \nAllotments are a valuable resource and both you as individuals and as community groups take immense pride in their up keep and produce. As allotment holders you are already active in your local community. However did you know that there are powers available that can help you and others in your local community shape and improve the neighbourhood in which you live? These powers\, known as Community Rights\, give recognition to valuable community assets such as allotments\, pubs\, local shops and community centres and can help ensure that these assets continue to be of benefit to local people. \nYou are able to list your allotment as an Asset of Community Value and this is where the Community Right to Bid comes in. It can help to protect vital community assets such as allotments in your neighbourhood. Allotments add to the wellbeing of local communities and you and your neighbours can therefore nominate your allotment to be put on a list of Assets of Community Value by your Local Authority. If an Asset of Community Value is then put up for sale\, local community groups can pause‚the sale for six months while they raise the funds to bid to buy it. \nNearly 100 allotments have been listed by local community groups across the country. Are you one of them? If so you can now apply for an ACV Certificate to celebrate your allotment. \nEmail community.assets@communities.gsi.gov.uk for more details about getting a personalised certificate for you to print out and display to let everyone know how much your allotment is valued by your local community. For more information about assets of community value and how to protect them please visithttp://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/community-asset-ownership/ \nThe Department for Communities and Local Government has also produced a simple guide to community rights called You’ve got the power?’ \nYou can also have your say in the way your neighbourhood develops in the future. Neighbourhood planning enables local communities to shape the places where you live and work. Over 1400 communities have started neighbourhood planning in their area and around a third of the neighbourhood plans which are now in force include policies on allotments. If you’re interested to find out how you can get started\, there’s lots of information here: http://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/neighbourhood-planning/ \nIf you’re involved in your local area\, you can also join the My Community Network to chat to experts and connect with others who are also passionate about their community. Through the Network\, you get: \nAccess to live discussions and expert advice on the forum \nInspiration and tips from other people from across the country \nQuick responses to questions about community activity and programmes \nNetworking with like-minded and experienced people \nCoaching and mentoring from experts in the field \nInvitations to free learning hubs and event URL:https://www.awarenessdays.com/awareness-days-calendar/national-allotments-week-2024/ CATEGORIES:August,Community Awareness,Education Awareness,Environmental Awareness,Family Awareness,Food Awareness,UK ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.awarenessdays.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/iStock-646190406-1-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240813 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240814 DTSTAMP:20240625T082817 CREATED:20231008T122124Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231008T122124Z UID:10017322-1723507200-1723593599@www.awarenessdays.com SUMMARY:National Opportunity Day 2024 DESCRIPTION:What is National Opportunity Day?\nImagine a world where setbacks are simply stepping stones. A world where a change in direction is not seen as failure\, but as an opportunity to discover hidden talents and uncover new passions. This is the world we invite you to explore on National Opportunity Day. It’s a world where limitations are shattered\, and aspirations are embraced. \nWhether it’s vocational training\, apprenticeships\, work-based learning\, or pursuing an alternative higher education path\, National Opportunity Day celebrates all these options and more. No student should ever feel left behind. It’s never too late and there’s always a possibility. There’s something for everyone. We’re here to help you navigate through the maze of opportunities and find the path that resonates with you. \nLife is full of unexpected twists and turns. Sometimes\, the path we envision takes a detour. But here’s the thing: that detour can lead us to remarkable opportunities we never even dreamed of. That’s what National Opportunity Day is all about – celebrating the boundless possibilities that await everyone\, regardless of any disappointment or setbacks. \nA smooth ride is rare. Many students find themselves disappointed when they don’t achieve the results they hoped for\, or secure the further education place they had set their heart on. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. However\, this is not the end of the road. It’s just the beginning. \nNational Opportunity Day is a day dedicated to shedding light on all the possible opportunities beyond the traditional route. We hope to inspire and empower students to embrace alternative options that can lead to a fulfilling and successful future. \nWhen is National Opportunity Day 2024?\nThis year’s National Opportunity Day will take place on the 9th of August.

This equates to roughly 90\,000 people – enough to fill Wembley Stadium. \nThis annual event helps to highlight the frequency of Cavernomas in society and encourages people with a Cavernoma to join a community of people with a similar condition.

That’s why we’re launching The Northern Christmas Week to support northern businesses and individuals that missed out on more than just Christmas day. \nWe’re making 16th – 22nd August 2021 the new Christmas 2020. \nLet’s be honest – after the year 2020 turned out to be and with 2021 not starting off much better\, we all need a good dose of that festive cheer. But\, we’re bringing people back together with the spirit of Christmas\, AND giving local businesses a festive boost. \nSure\, we did our best to keep the office Christmas party alive – we’re Northerners\, after all. But while we were forced to party as best we could over Zoom\, our hospitality industry faced over £700m in losses from a lack of Christmas office parties alone. And let’s not even talk about the biggest annual decline of retail sales on record that happened in 2020. \nThat’s why up North we’re declaring 16th – 22nd August 2021 the new Christmas 2020 and we want you to join us! \nThe Northern Christmas is our way of giving back and helping the hospitality industry bounce back – and an excuse for a good knees up. \nIt’s for the Christmas lovers that didn’t get the festive season they deserved. It’s for the person who puts their tree up straight after Halloween. The organisational wizard that has every gift bought and wrapped by Autumn. The social butterfly that dedicates the whole of November to attending every Christmas bash they can wangle an invite to. \nIt’s for the proud owner of an independent retailer that missed out on the Christmas rush. It’s for the bar manager that never got to showcase their ridiculously glittery Christmas cocktail. The restaurant owner that couldn’t wait to welcome every extended\, dysfunctional and downright bonkers family through their doors to make Christmas dinner memories that last a lifetime. \nIt’s for everyone who doesn’t believe Christmas 2020 should be a write-off\, just because it didn’t happen on December 25th. \nLet’s make August 2021 a Northern Christmas we’ll never forget. \nHowever you choose to celebrate\, we want to hear about it. Let us know how you’re celebrating and supporting your local businesses on social media\, using the hashtag #MyNorthernChristmas \nWant to celebrate directly with us? We’re hosting a PARTY too!

They’re great value\, work in sweet or savoury dishes or eaten as a snack and are bursting with vitamins and anti-oxidants. \nThe Plum Festival \nAt the Pershore Flower Show in 1920\, a poster advertising the event described it as The Largest Plum Show on Earth and over ninety years later the town is striving to recreate this spectacle.The Plum Fayre was resurrected in 1996 by local environmentalist\, David Shaw and local historian\, Marion Freeman\, to help raise the awareness and profile of the market town of Pershore and its association with plums. \nNow an annual event\, Pershore holds a Plum Festival throughout the month of August\, when the town will turn plum crazy and the grand finale of this festival will be the Plum Fayre and Farmers Market on August Bank Holiday Monday. \nWith the whole town turning purple and offering something for all the family\, the Plum Fayre is definitely the place to visit for a fruity experience.

This is an annual international awareness month to raise support\, funding and awareness of childhood cancers and the impact for sufferers and families of sufferers of childhood cancer. It was founded in 2010 by former US President Barack Obama and is mainly run in the form of awareness events by cancer charities. \nA Month of Movement is a September initiative that aims to encourage you to move more for the month of September and raise vital funds for research into children’s cancers as you go. \nChildhood cancer is devastating to growth and development in children\, and devastating to their families and friends. At a time when young people should be focusing on school\, play and socialising\, if they have cancer\, their focus can be on medication\, operations\, and what life they have left. \nParents of childhood cancer sufferers have the anguish of watching their children suffer\, and the stress of decisions on medications and treatments as well as decisions on time of work for themselves and time off school for the child\, and worst\, trying to explain to a child what is happening to them and answering the resulting questions on life and faith\, and worst of all is the loss of a child to cancer\, a devastation that can never be put right. \nSome forms of cancer are mainly or exclusively only seen in children\, and that is something highlighted by the awareness month. Children can be more resilient to cancer and cancer treatments than adults\, and there are many cases of triumph and complete recovery\, where children make a complete recovery and grow up to normal life. But awareness\, education and support are vital\, which is why Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is also vital. \nWhen is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month / A Month of Movement 2024?\nA Month of Movement takes place each September from the 1st until the 30th. \nHow to get involved in A Month of Movement.\nYoung Lives Vs Cancer are one of the charities asking you to move an extra 30 minutes each day for 30 days in the hope of raising awareness and funds and encouraging healthy habits as an added bonus.

Throughout the month\, teams of experts and patients aim to increase public awareness of all urological cancers\, diseases and conditions that affect the kidney\, bladder\, prostate and male reproductive organs. As well as highlighting the symptoms associated with such diseases the month looks to also talk about the impact they have on all aspects of a persons life. \nWe set up Urology Awareness Month because there is a lot of stigma surrounding urology health. From testicular cancer to UTIs\, male infertility to incontinence\, urology health is often a hard subject for people to open up about. \nOur goal with Urology Awareness Month is to break down the stigma around urology health. We know that catching a urology disease early is crucial in order to get the right treatment quicker. So\, the more openly we can talk about urology health\, the better. \nSo\, join us each September as we scream and shout about urology health. No one should feel they have to deal with these diseases in silence. \nFind out more here .

The event has been running since 2012\, and September 21st is World Alzheimer’s Day. \nGlobally there is thought to be poor understanding and a great deal of stigma surrounding dementia\, so the work of World Alzheimer’s Month is vital and is growing and targeting the stigma and lack of understanding and knowledge surrounding Alzheimer’s disease and dementia as well as supporting those suffering with the disease. \nThe month is an opportunity for individuals\, businesses and charities to hold events and raise awareness in their communities of the effects of dementia. Participants can get campaign materials for their event from ADI\, and anyone unable to arrange their own event but keen to take part\, can find events run by their National Alzheimer’s Charity and participate in those. \nWorld Alzheimer’s Month is an opportunity for sufferers\, carers\, professionals\, press and media and communities to work together against dementia as well as raising awareness of the realities of it\, while combating stigma and misinformation and lobbying the government for better help and care. \nDementia is a degenerative brain condition that affects over 50 million people internationally and which robs a person of their memory\,competency\, comprehension and behavioural awareness\, usually slowly\, over years\, it is a sad condition to live with or to witness in a loved one\, there are over 100 forms of dementia\, the most common being Alzheimer’s Disease at 50-60% of all dementia cases.

All organic food companies and farms are inspected yearly to ensure that they meet the high standards required for organic food under European law. \nWhen you buy organic you can be sure that the products you are buying: \nContain no artificial additives or preservatives. \nContain fewer pesticides. There are only 20 pesticides that can be used by organic farmers all of which are derived from natural ingredients. This is compared to almost 300 pesticides used in regular farming. \nConform to high standards of animal welfare. \nContain no genetically modified ingredients. \nHave been produced in a way that is sustainable. \nIt’s easy to get involved\, just look for the organic logo or why not think about growing your own! The Soil Association says that by switching just one item in your shop to organic will help contribute to changing our food system\, buying more organic food means more organic farms so fewer pesticides which is better for our wildlife and means more farm animals raised under higher welfare standards.

It helps demonstrate the impact payroll has on the UK economy through contributing towards the £4.46bn* collected through income tax and National Insurance.\nIt aims to provide payroll professionals with a celebration week to highlight that they do more than just push a button and can benefit organisations through strategic decision making related to overall reward and remuneration. \nPayroll is the largest expenditure in most UK organisations and therefore should be managed by qualified professionals. Payroll can save employees money through salary sacrifice and other arrangements which improves employee motivation and morale.

Air ambulance charities collectively make over 30\,000 lifesaving missions each year across the UK. There are 37 air ambulance helicopters in the UK operated by 21 air ambulance charities\, providing pre-hospital care support to the NHS and forming an important part of the UK’s frontline emergency services. \nAir ambulance crews bring the Emergency Department to patients who have suffered a life threatening or life changing trauma or medical emergency; providing specialist critical care to save lives. The UK’s 21 air ambulance charities receive no day-to-day government funding and depend almost entirely on charitable donations to deliver their lifesaving care. \nOn average an air ambulance can reach someone in urgent need within 15 minutes. Air ambulance charities are collectively dispatched to over 102 lifesaving missions each day across the UK. Each lifesaving mission by air costs on average £3\,962 and are funded almost entirely by donations. That’s why we can’t save lives without you and why Air Ambulances UK is calling on people all over the UK to support their local air ambulance to ensure air ambulance charities continue to save lives every day. \nWhen is Air Ambulance Week 2024?\nAir Ambulance Week 2024 takes off across the UK from 4 – 10th September\, with air ambulance charities across the UK delivering the message that Air Ambulance charities can’t save lives without you!

Even a small rainy-day pot to fall back on when an unexpected bill lands\, can provide security and reduce worry in difficult times.  But savings are not just for the unexpected. A growing savings pot can help achieve future dreams and aspirations\, whether that’s saving for a weekend break or a holiday of a lifetime\, a new dress or a new home\, a new hobby or career-changing qualification\, Christmas presents or a wedding. Getting into the habit of putting some money aside each month towards a future goal will help to ensure that dream is achieved. \nWhen\, how and how much we save\, will be different for everyone. UK Savings Week is all about helping individuals to save their own way\, when they can. Creating a regular habit is often the best way to start\, and whilst the amount saved might flex depending on other expenses in the month and could be small: once the habit is formed a savings pot can start to build. \nFor those who are already savers\, UK Savings Week aims to help people think about making most the of their savings\, by understanding different types of savings account and finding the best rate of interest. As interest rates have been rising\, choosing the right account can make a big financial difference to individual savers. \nWhen is UK Savings Week?\nUK Savings Week 2024 will run from the 9th to the 15th of September. \nHow to get involved in UK Savings Week\nTo get more information on this year’s UK Savings Week\, please fill in the contact form and we’ll get in touch to share how you could get involved and to answer any questions you may have.

Many people aren’t managing their eczema as well as they could and we all need a nudge sometimes to make some improvements! Eczema is a highly personal condition and people respond differently to triggers and treatments. Sometimes you need to try a few things before finding a self-management regimen that works best for you. Here are our seven top tips: \n1. Keep your home cool to ease itching around 18C is ideal. \n2. Go fragrance-free. Anything with a strong scent\, from soap to air freshener\, may be irritating to your skin. \n3. Mind the gap! Leave at least 10 minutes or ideally longer between applying an emollient and a topical steroid. This stops the steroid spreading to areas of skin unaffected by eczema or being diluted. It doesn’t matter which is applied first. \n4. Pinch itchy skin rather than scratching it\, to avoid damaging the skin’s barrier. \n5. Use your emollients at least twice a day to prevent dryness\, and at other times whenever your skin feels dry and itchy. \n6. Go back to basics on skincare. Check with a healthcare professional for advice to make sure you’re applying your creams properly and managing your eczema triggers as best you can. \n7. Don’t cut foods out of your diet without medical advice unless you or your child have been diagnosed with a food allergy. If you cut foods without support\, you/they may miss out on important nutrients. \nFor more advice on managing your eczema call the National Eczema Society Helpline on 0800 089 1122 (8am-8pm\, Monday-to-Friday) or email your questions to helpline@eczema.org.

With low awareness of male cancer and the number of men diagnosed each year rising\, the annual campaign is more important than ever.\nEach year we highlight health messages about the three male specific cancers to improve awareness and give opportunities for men\, families and healthcare professionals to learn about male cancer and improve their understanding of the signs and symptoms. Through the promotion of our services and resources we hope men and their families will gain a better understanding of where to go for help and treatment. \nThe thirteenth annual Orchid Male Cancer Awareness Week will take place from the 11th – 17th September 2024.

The event is run by the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS)\, which is a registered charity.\nRA awareness week gives supporters an opportunity to help to raise awareness of the condition in a number of ways\, including doing video recordings of themselves discussing the impact of the disease. Another awareness opportunity is for participants to run information stands in public places and hospitals and putting up posters. NRAS offers participants information packs and helps to promote their events. \nRA is a painful autoimmune disease that affects joints as the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the lining of the joints\, leading to inflammation and stiffness\, and it isn’t restricted to joints\, it also affects the body’s organs\, for example heart and lungs. The condition is seen in women more than in men\, and affects approximately 1% of the UK population. It is a hidden condition\, meaning that people do not always realise that sufferers are living with the disease. \nThe condition is not the same arthritis that affects older people\, which is known as osteoarthritis\, but can affect people of any age\, and can either have an early onset\, in teenage years\, or start at any time in an adult’s life. There is no known cure\, but advances in medicine mean that treatment can be very effective in reducing pain and symptoms.

Litter data collected drives our conservation work and also feeds into the International Coastal Clean-up (ICC).\nThis year’s Great British Beach Clean will take place between Friday 15th – Sunday 24th September 2024. \nOn every clean we ask people to run a litter survey: recording all the items of rubbish they find in a 100m stretch. We use this data to campaign for change. \nAnd we have seen some great results – the plastic bag charge\, banning microplastics in personal care products\, better wet wipe labelling\, and supporting a tax on single-use plastic items. \nBut there is still so much to do to stop the litter plaguing our beaches. \n425 litter items found per 100m of beach surveyed at last year’s Great British Beach Clean \n30% of beach cleans last year found face masks and PPE \n55% drop in plastic bags found on UK beaches since 5p charge introduced \nBut it’s not job done.

However\, many adults have missed out on the digital revolution and feel left behind. The aim of National Coding Week is to give adults the opportunity to learn some digital skills. \nWe want to create taster sessions for parents\, teachers\, business leaders\, school leavers\, the unemployed\, people with autism or those who have retired. It’s open to everyone! We are not expecting people to become coders after one session! For many people it takes years of practice and experience but these taster sessions can be the first step on a journey into a digital business or digital career. \nChildren can inspire adults \nChildren are learning digital skills in school or through coding clubs such as CoderDojos. We therefore would like these clubs to open their doors to parents for a one-off session in which the children will teach the adults some of the skills they have learnt. \nLibraries can act as focal points \nLibraries are in an ideal position to act as a focal point and can host a coding session. Either the staff can lead the session or someone who is confident and familiar with coding from the local community can share their skills. Read CILIP’s blog: Libraries‚ how they can improve our Digital Literacy \nSchools and Code Clubs can get involved \nChildren are learning coding but many parents don’t understand what their children are doing and many non-specialist teachers and governors feel they have missed out on these skills. \nThis year in partnership with Makewaves we are offering children the opportunity to learn and share new skills by collecting digital badges. \nShare Your Skills \nShare Your Skills Badge involves planning a digital skills lesson and delivering it to your class mates. Create a simple lesson plan of what you will be teaching your class. The lesson‚can be any time from 15 minutes to 60 minutes and it can be taught by a single person or a group of 5 maximum. Each individual needs to have a clear role. \nStay Safe Online \nStay Safe Online Badge involves planning a stay safe online lesson and delivering it to your class mates. Research a stay safe online topic\, examples are listed below but you could choose any topic that is important to you: \nData Protection | Cyber Security | Social Media Management | Privacy settings | Passwords management | Knowing who you are communicating with (stranger danger) \nFor more details check out the National Coding Week / Makewaves Digital Badges \nWeb\, app\, creative and digital businesses can throw open their doors \nThose with the expertise can share their skills and have fun teaching people the basics of coding. There are many training organisations who offer courses throughout the year. They can contribute to the week by offering taster sessions to encourage people to sign-up. \nTech Hubs \nThere are hundreds of tech hubs with amazing businesses working from them. The tech hubs are giving start-ups a platform from which to launch businesses and inspire others. These can be the perfect venue for the week and we would love them to be involved. \nAdvice \nKeep it simple‚ it might simply be showing people the resources available online at Codex \, Codecademy or TeamTreehouse. \nIf you are able to organise it\, get a friendly local web development agency\, ICT teacher or FE college tutor to lead the session. \nA simple introductory session can be to get people familiar with tags / code that make up HTML and CSS and show how they work together. \nSign up for the event at codingweek.org \nOrganise a public or private event and pin it to the map \nHold the event\, take photos and tweet using the hashtag #nationalcodingweek \nWe would love to hear from people willing to organise events including libraries\, schools\, digital agencies\, tech hubs and coding clubs / CoderDojos. If you let us know what you’re planning we can give you a shoutout and feature you in the run up to the week. \nWhy learning Digital Skills is important \nThe digital economy has grown enormously in the past 8 years and clusters of digital businesses are springing up everywhere. \nIt has been reported that 50% of digital product developers are self-taught and as many as 83% of app developers have taught themselves. \nThere are now more people working in tech jobs in the south east of England than the whole of California but there is a skills shortage and many adults could contribute to the digital economy if they had the confidence to get started.

Like other awareness campaigns\, this campaign aims to inspire and educate people on the importance of eye health and why they should go for regular sight tests. \nMany people often fear losing vision; yet take minimal steps in caring for their eyes. This is what the National Eye Health Week aims to change. Having said that\, here are some of the interesting facts about eye health you may not know. \nAbout 2 million persons are living with severe sight loss in UK\, that can significantly impact their daily activities. Half of this population’s sight loss is avoidable. \nA sight test easily detects the early signs of eye conditions such as glaucoma\, which can be treated soon.
