SUMMARY:International Widows Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:International Widows Day is a global awareness day that takes place annually on 23rd June. The day was launched by the United Nations in 2010 to raise awareness of the violation of human rights that widows suffer in many countries following the death of their spouses.\nIn many countries with traditional societies\, women find themselves left in poverty when their husband dies. In some countries\, these women find themselves denied of inheritance and land rights\, evicted from their homes\, ostracised and abused. The children of widows also often find themselves affected\, withdrawn from school and more vulnerable to abuse\, especially in the case of girls. \nInternational Widows Day works to encourage action in achieving full rights for widows\, highlighting the need for more research and statistics into violence\, discrimination and poverty suffered by widows and develop policies and programmes to address the problem.\nThe ultimate goal of the day is to develop resources and policy to empower widows and allow them to have access to education\, work\, healthcare and lives free of violence and abuse. Enabling them to create a life for themselves and their children following the death of their husband and ending a cycle of poverty and abuse. \nFurther details about International Widows Day can be found at www.un.org

SUMMARY:World Refugee Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:World Refugee Day is held on June 20th. This is an annual event\, held on the same date each year.\nWorld Refugee Day honours the strength and courage of refugees and encourages public awareness and support of the refugees\, people who have had to flee their home lands because of conflict or natural disaster. \nRefugees are vulnerable and in need\, and are often misunderstood and maligned\, and often have very little or nothing of their posessions and little food\, they often have to leave their homes with nothing or with what they can carry. They suffer cold\, hunger\, trauma\, despair\, disease\, violence and loss. The awareness day is to help public understanding of refugees as well as raising support and help. \nAcross the world\, agencies\, both governmental and non-governmental\, work tirelessly to help refugees\, but with people being made refugees daily\, more help and awareness is constantly needed\, to ensure that refugees are treated fairly and provided for\, rather than being neglected or shunned\, and there are projects to re-settle and provide for refugees. So World Refugee Day highlights all of this. And now it also marks the launch of the ‘With Refugees’ petition\, which will state the needs and potential rights of refugees.

SUMMARY:Brake's Kids Walk 2024
DESCRIPTION:It is every child’s right to be able to walk in their community without fear of traffic and pollution. Danger from traffic is a big factor in whether families are able to walk safely in the places where they live. It affects their ability to be healthy and socially active.\nChildren of all ages are at risk of being hurt or killed when walking near roads. On average\, six children are killed or seriously injured on roads in Britain every day – that’s equivalent to a whole class of children every single week. \nBrake’s Kids Walk is a great way to inspire and engage children about the dangers they face and raise awareness among parents and the wider community about the need to protect children on roads. \nIt’s also a great opportunity to fundraise for Brake and support families who have lost loved ones in road crashes.

SUMMARY:Autistic Pride Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, organisations from across the globe celebrate Autistic Pride Day on June 18 with a variety of events. The aim of this day is to raise awareness amongst those who are not on the autistic spectrum disorder so they do not see autistic people as requiring treatment\, but as unique individuals. \nThis annual event was first celebrated by Aspies for Freedom in 2005 and they modelled Autistic Pride Day on the gay pride movement. One of the most significant aspects of the day is that it is not run by charities; it is run by autistic people themselves. Since its beginnings\, Autistic Pride Day has been a community event and not a day for other organisations to promote themselves by stifling autistic people. It is now a global celebration that takes place predominantly online. \nAutistic Pride Day is represented by the rainbow infinity symbol. This symbol is intended to represent the diversity of autistic people and the infinite possibilities and variations within the autistic community. \nAccording to representatives of Autistic Pride Day\, people with autism have unique characteristics that provide them with both rewards and challenges. Although many of the difficulties they face are because of their neurodiversity\, another factor is issues in society. For example\, society’s attitude towards autism is often one of pity or a belief that it is a condition requiring treatment. \nActivists want to shift attitudes away from this and towards acceptance and the realisation that autism is a difference rather than a disability.

SUMMARY:World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is held on June 15th and is an annual international UN observance day on the same date each year. The day came about as a result of UN resolution 66/127. \nWith a growing global population of elderly people\, and as longevity increases\, abuse of the elderly is an increasing and serious problem that affects health and human rights and can cause death\, so it is vital to raise awareness of it and thus prevent it whenever and wherever possible. \nElder abuse is global and comes in many forms including physical\, emotional\, sexual and financial abuse and also neglect. Elderly people are human and deserve the same dignity and respect as people of all other age groups. \nElderly people are particularly vulnerable to abuse and to being unable to defend themselves and get help as fear and infirmity can be major barriers to seeking and getting help\, and sometimes spotting and challenging abuse in the elderly isn’t easy\, some are isolated having outlived family and friends\, and some are abused in institutions where abuse is not spotted or is covered up\, and in some cases the elderly are not given priority by authorities in abuse matters. \nThe UN aims to raise awareness of elder abuse and prevent it\, and on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day\, communities and the press and media can run events and highlight the danger of elder abuse and what can be done to prevent it and what to do if it is spotted.

SUMMARY:Carers Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:About Carers Week\nCarers Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring\, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK. It also helps people who don’t think of themselves as having caring responsibilities to identify as carers and access much-needed support. \nThe campaign is brought to life by thousands of individuals and organisations who come together to provide support for carers\, run activities and highlight the vital role carers play in our communities\, drawing attention to just how important caring is. \nCarers need to be recognised for the difficulties they are experiencing\, respected for all they are doing\, provided with information\, and given the support they need to care safely. \nA carer is anyone who looks after a family member or friend who has a disability\, mental or physical illness\, addiction\, or who needs extra help as they grow older. Caring’s impact on all aspects of life from relationships and health to finances and work can be significant. Whilst many feel that caring is one of the most important things they do\, its challenges should not be underestimated. Caring without the right information and support can be tough. It is vitally important that we recognise the contribution carers make to their families and local communities\, workplaces and society\, and that they get the support they need. \nFind out how you can get involved in this year’s Carer’s Week here\, and show your support by saying “I Care” on social media.

SUMMARY:World Milk Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Raise a glass to celebrate World Milk Day 2024\nWe say Cheers’\, Mma manu’\, Yam sing‚to the parents who make sure there’s always a carton in the fridge\, to the hard working dairy farmers\, to the organisations who provide dairy supplements to help tackle famine and malnutrition\, to the huge network of people who help us to enjoy milk. \nAs we Raise a Glass to milk\, we connect with others and invite them to join the celebration that the goodness represents. It allows us to share the stories about all the goodness of milk and all the people who produce it. It offers a simple\, natural way to recognize the people who matter most to us ‚ in our communities\, schools and homes. \nBack in 2001\, somebody decided that the world should take a day to celebrate anything and everything related to milk. They requested that the FAO (the Food and Agriculture Organisations of the United Nations) should put forward a specific day for these festivities they selected June 1st\, and the rest his history! \nThe tradition of celebrating World Milk Day on June 1st came from the fact that many countries were already celebrating World Milk Day on or around this date. A date in late May was originally proposed\, but some countries felt that they already had too many holidays around this time. As a result\, June 1st became the special day dedicated to milk. \nWorld Milk Day puts a lot of attention on milk and does a great job in publicising activities connected with the milk industry. The fact that many countries around the globe all choose this specific day for World Milk Day shows that milk is a food that is cherished worldwide.

SUMMARY:National Epilepsy Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:From May 24 to May 30\, National Epilepsy Week will be taking place to raise awareness for those affected by epilepsy\, what epilepsy is\, who’s affected and what can be done to help those who suffer from this condition.\nWhat is epilepsy? \nEpilepsy is a neurological condition that affects the brain and causes recurring seizures or fits in people. Due to an uncontrolled increase of excess electrical activity in the brain interfering with the normal functions\, this causes a short interruption to the relay of messages in the brain. \nWho’s affected? \nApproximately 500\,000 people in the England are diagnosed with epilepsy\, affecting people of all ages\, from newborns to the elderly. \nWhat can be done to help? \nLearning to recognise the symptoms of a seizure is a great place to start helping those affected\, as well as knowing what to do when a seizure occurs to minimise the harm done to both the person and those around them. You can also look into lobbying for more support for those affected by epilepsy\, so they can get the treatment and care they deserve. \nAll in all\, epilepsy is a condition affecting more people than you might think\, and by knowing the early warning signs and what to do when a seizure occurs can make a big difference helping those affected by the chronic condition.

SUMMARY:European Neighbours' Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Every Year at the End of May is European Neighbour’s Day\nNeighbour’s Day celebrations take place all over the world. The European Neighbour’s Day is held at the end of may and encourages residents groups and housing organisations to participate and organise their own individual events. \nWhat is the Goal of Neighbour’s Day? \nNeighbour’s day is organised by the European Federation of Local Solidarity.

Ever since then\, more and more countries have been taking part. Last year\, for example\, there were more than 30 million participants from 36 different countries. \nHow You Can Take Part \nAll it takes to participate is the organising of a party with your neighbours. It could be in your own garden\, out in the street or in a local community hall. The idea is to get people together so that neighbours who rarely speak can talk to each other and have fun together. \nSupport is available from EFLS and there is even an award that housing associations\, organisers and mayors can put themselves forward for. A promotional video\, guide\, timetable and press kit is also provided for organisers needs.

SUMMARY:World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development 2024
DESCRIPTION:Three-quarters of the world’s major conflicts have a cultural dimension. Bridging the gap between cultures is urgent and necessary for peace\, stability and development. \nCultural diversity is a driving force of development\, not only with respect to economic growth\, but also as a means of leading a more fulfilling intellectual\, emotional\, moral and spiritual life. This is captured in the seven culture conventions\, which provide a solid basis for the promotion of cultural diversity. Cultural diversity is thus an asset that is indispensable for poverty reduction and the achievement of sustainable development. \nAt the same time\, acceptance and recognition of cultural diversity in particular through innovative use of media and Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) are conducive to dialogue among civilizations and cultures\, respect and mutual understanding. \nIn 2001\, UNESCO adopted the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity and in December 2002\, the UN General Assembly\, in its resolution 57/249\, declared May 21 to be the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development. \nThe day provides us with an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to advance the four goals of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions adopted on 20 October 2005: \nSupport sustainable systems of governance for culture \nAchieve a balanced flow of cultural goods and services and increase mobility of artists and cultural professionals \nIntegrate culture in sustainable development frameworks \nPromote human rights and fundamental freedoms

SUMMARY:Water Saving Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:The UK has less available water per person than most other European countries. London is drier than Istanbul\, and the South East of England has less water available per person than some African countries. \nSurprised? Climate change\, population increases and changes in lifestyle have led to increasing pressure being put on our water supplies. The expected increase in world population up to 10 billion people will decline the available freshwater resources by half in 2050. \nAs a result\, it is more important than ever that we take care with how we use water. Taking positive action now can help to ensure that there is enough water to go around\, for us\, for businesses and for the environment. \nSave Money \nSaving water saves money. Installing simple devices such as water-efficient taps and showers will save both water and energy by minimising the use of heated water. An efficient showerhead could reduce household bills by up to £120 per year. Leaky loos waste around 400 litres of clean water a day – the equivalent of having an extra two people living in your house! \nClimate Change \nOur use of water and energy are closely linked. Operational emissions from the water industry account for nearly 1% of the UK’s total. And a major source of emissions is from using hot water within homes. Reducing the length of your shower or the amount of hot water you use for cleaning dishes therefore has a significant impact on your personal carbon footprint. Using water wisely also helps us adapt to climate change – it means the water we do have goes further. \nThe Environment \nUsing water efficiently means that we can minimise the amount of additional water resources being taken out of our rivers and aquifers\, especially as demand is rising. \nResilient Water Supplies \nAs water resources become scarcer\, building new infrastructure like reservoirs and desalination plants\, or finding new sources of supply\, becomes increasingly expensive. If we save water that is otherwise wasted\, we can reduce pressure on existing infrastructure and offset the need for more. Using water wisely also makes our supply more resilient against impacts from climate change\, such as droughts. \nReady to start saving?

SUMMARY:World Salt Awareness Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:Salt Awareness Week will take place slightly later from the 15th – 21st May in 2024. \nEach year Action on Salt organise a national ‘Salt Awareness Week’ and an international ‘World Salt Awareness Week’ to help raise awareness of the damaging effect of too much salt to our health. \nThe annual campaign is our chance to talk directly to the general public\, shining a light on the hidden salt in our favourite food products and encouraging those who don’t want their food\, and their children’s food\, laden with unnecessary salt to take action. We produce posters\, leaflets and factsheets\, which are then made available for order by hospitals\, GP surgeries\, health charities\, schools\, universities and anyone with an interest in salt\, food or health! These resources are intended for local community events during the week\, or for display year round in pharmacies and GP surgeries\, helping our salt reduction messages reach a wide range of people. Last year there were more than 300 supporting events up and down the country. \nFor many years\, our annual Salt Awareness Week campaign has been scheduled according to the UK policy calendar in March. We’re pleased to announce that the campaign will now take place in the third week of May – every year! \nThis new and consistent date allows supporters in the UK and internationally to plan their own activities to mark the awareness week ahead of time.  We look forward to working with you to get salt reduction onto the global agenda\, stay tuned for more information on the theme and resources for the week. \nHeart attacks and strokes are the biggest causes of death and disability in the UK\, with two people suffering from these often-debilitating conditions every 5 minutes. The strain this is having\, not only on the individual and their families\, but on our struggling NHS cannot be ignored.   \nMost cases are entirely preventable\, and so it’s vital we all take measures to improve our health and prevent these events from happening in the first place. It’s a little-known fact that eating less salt is one of the quickest and most effective ways of improving our health\, with just 1 less ‘pinch’ a day preventing over 4\,000 heart attacks and strokes every year in the UK. But how can we cut back on our salt\, when everything we buy is full of it?   \nFrom sliced bread to biscuits\, Friday night takeaways to ‘healthy’ salads\, everything has added salt. In fact\, three quarters of the salt we eat is already in the foods we buy\, and it’s impossible to take it out once it’s been added in.   \nJoin us as we call on food companies to Ditch the Salt for the sake of our hearts  \nIf you would like to be involved this year\, whether you are a food business\, a charity\, a community organisation\, a politician\, a school\, or a libertarian think tank\, we would love to hear from you!  \nPlease get in touch: cash@qmul.ac.uk   \nSupport our campaign and join the conversation on Twitter: #SaltAwarenessWeek

SUMMARY:National Stationery Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:If you think this is a celebration of not moving\, then your spelling needs a bit of work National Stationery Week is all about cheerleading the act of writing by hand\, and encouraging people from all around the globe to share details of their favourite pens\, pencils\, sharpeners\, and whatever fills their pencil cases. If they have one. It’s certainly an odd get-together\, but one that may be taking advantage of a shift in trends that may force people to abandon the venture of handwriting altogether. \nIn a world where people like us are typing this on a keyboard instead of writing it by hand\, it might be quite a good initiative; for all we know\, handwriting may be a trade as dead as lamp-lighting\, town crying or door-to-door sales. So\, get your Staedtler Noris school pencils\, your Helix 30cm rulers and your Bic for Her range of comfortable\, female-friendly medium ballpoint pens\, and go wild for a week.

SUMMARY:Star Wars Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Since 2011 May the 4th has been known across Star Wars Fandom as Star Wars Day and was chosen due to the pun “May The Fourth be with You”. In fact Star Wars fans have bought into the celebration so much that a second date has since been created\, with May the 5th becoming known as “Revenge of The Fifth” \, a play on words from Episode III – Revenge Of The Sith\, where fans join the ‘Dark Side’ by celebrating the Sith Lords from the Star Wars series. \nAlthough Star Wars Day wasn’t created by George Lucas it has since been embraced by Lucasfilm as an annual celebration of the day\, with Disney – who purchased Lucasfilm and the rights to the Star Wars franchise in 2012\, also holding many events in celebration of May 4th. \nNever ones to be left out of a party we’ve popped a few interesting facts about the Star Wars franchise below in honour of the day. May the Fourth Be With You! \n\nMany of the buildings constructed to be used in shots Tatooine are still standing in Tunisia. In fact\, some of them are used by locals.\nCommemorative Star Wars coins became legal tender on the Pacific island of Niue in 2011.\nIt took as many as 10 puppeteers using both hands to operate Jabba the Hutt.\nThe trash in the Death Star garbage compactor scene was REAL. Apparently\, the smell was so bad that Mark Hamill burst a blood vessel from trying to hold his breath\, and the camera angle had to be adjusted for the rest of the scene so as not to show his injury. As for Peter Mayhew’s yak-hair Chewbacca suit? It reeked for the rest of production.\nThe voice of Yoda is done by Frank Oz\, who also happens to voice Miss Piggy from The Muppets.\nThe alien race of ET: The Extra-Terrestrial makes an appearance in Episode 1: The Phantom Menace- officially connecting the worlds of Lucas and Spielberg sci-fi.\nYoda from the prequels was almost a real-life monkey in a green mask carrying a cane\, however a monkey expert on set threw a spanner in the works. One of the crew who worked with apes in 2001: A Space Odyssey quickly pointed out\, Look\, the monkey’s just going to pull off the mask over and over again. It’s never going to work. The team soon enlisted Muppet master-crafter Jim Henson\, who suggested casting Frank Oz (formerly the voice of Miss Piggy) to bring Yoda to life.

Through building awareness\, it aims to prevent these tragedies and stands for just and scientifically based care. \nChanging Attitude\nNo health without mental health! \nIncreasing awareness will drive social change with a goal toward improving the quality of care for women experiencing all types of PMADs\, and reducing the stigma of maternal mental illness. We are encouraging mental health professionals\, friends and relatives of new moms to ask her how she’s really feeling and encourage her to seek help.

SUMMARY:International Dance Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:UNESCO has a habit of reserving 24 hours for everything in the field of performing arts\, so it’s perhaps no surprise that there’s an annual International Dance Day. It has been earmarked as a celebration for anyone who attaches value and importance to dance\, and acts as a wake-up-call for governments\, politicians and institutions which have not yet recognised its value.\nWhile this sounds just a little bit overboard\, you’d be surprised at how many places frown upon or outright ban the act of dancing. Even in the US\, strict Southern Baptists don’t dance\, and this led to the famous hard work of Chicago teen Ren McCormack\, who proved them wrong and overcame the community through the medium of dance in the hard-hitting 1984 documentary Footloose.

SUMMARY:Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day is a non-profit educational program that revolves around parents taking their children to work for a day. In the United States\, the event is held on the fourth Thursday in April. \nIn 1992\, the Ms. Foundation for Women launched Take Our Daughters to Work Day. The first event was held on April 22\, 1993. Schools across the United States were provided with literature and other materials for incorporating career exploration in their curricula on the day before or after Take Our Daughters to Work Day. \nIn 2003\, the program was expanded to include boys. However\, most companies that took part in the program had allowed both girls and boys to participate since the beginning. This change allowed both girls and boys to explore careers\, contributing to fighting with gender stereotypes. \nIn 2007\, the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day program became its own separate foundation. It is no longer organized by the Ms. Foundation for Women\, although Gloria Steinem (one of the Foundation’s founders) is a member of the program’s board of directors. \nOn the fourth Thursday in April\, many employees across the USA invite their children to work. The program also encourages them to invite children from shelters and residential programs.

SUMMARY:Parental Alienation Awareness Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:April 25 is Parental Alienation Awareness Day (PAAD) in the USA\, Canada and Bermuda.\nThis awareness day was created as a part of global awareness campaign about parental alienation. Parental alienation is described ” a behavior by a parent\, or an adult a child trusts\, such as a grandmother/father\, aunt\, uncle\, etc.\, whether conscious or unconscious\, that could create alienation in the relationship between a child and a parent.” \nAlso known as Hostile Aggressive Parenting\, the behaviour displayed can be mild and temporary but also extreme and ongoing. Obvioulsy any kind of behavior that is displayed as a result of parental alienation can be damaging upon a child and could have potentially life long consequences should the behaviour of both carer and child not be recognised and effectively addressed. \nNot to be confused with Parental Alienation Syndrome which relates to the behaviour of the child\, Parental Alienation focuses on the adults behaviour. \nParental Alienation Awareness Day recognised on April 25th aims to highlight to care givers the effects that PA could have on children and educate adults in order to identify signs that either they or others are behaving in a manner that could affect the children in their care. Parental Alienation usually involves one care giver attempting to turn a child against another often with a view to persuade the child that they wish to exclude the other parent from their life permanently. Typical types of behaviour displayed by parents can include: \nconstantly badmouthing/ belittling the other;\nlimiting the other’s contact;\nforbidding the child from discussing the other parent;\ncreating the impression that the other parent dislikes or does not love the child; or\ntrying to force the child to reject the parent to make the former partner a former parent as well. \nThe idea of PAAD belongs to Sarvy Emo from Canada. Emo introduced the observance of the day in the late 2005 with the original date on March 28. This date was changed to April 25 for marketing reasons and was put into practice in 2006. \nWith awareness comes education\, and with education\, comes the power to stop the mental and emotional abuse of children.-Sarvy Emo \nTo find out more about this awareness day\, visit one of the many dedicated websites aimed at raising awareness of the behaviours that could have a long lasting effect on our kids.

SUMMARY:World Book Night 2024
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve never found a book you’ve liked\, there’s a good chance that you’ve not tried that many books and World Book Night is here to prove to both children and adults that there are plenty of opportunities to get lost in a good book. Every year\, the occasion is coordinated by the Reading Agency\, a national charity that aims to help people become confident and enthusiastic readers. \nWorld Book Night celebrates both reading and books every year on April 23rd\, when books are distributed throughout the UK to specifically\, but not exclusively\, reach those who don’t often get the opportunity to read – hospitals\, prisons\, homeless shelters and care homes are a particular focus. Those who love a good book are asked to give out their own books to similarly affected people in their own communities or the wider UK. \nFor the past 6 years World Book Night has also been celebrated in the USA as well as the UK and Ireland\, with almost 50\,000 people giving away a million books across the three different countries.

SUMMARY:World Parkinson's Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:World Parkinson’s Day takes place on 11 April every year to raise awareness of Parkinson’s. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiving with Parkinson’s is tougher than people think. But it doesn’t define you. You are still you. You can still do amazing things in spite of Parkinson’s. \nParkinson’s is different for everyone. Different symptoms\, different experiences. Diagnosis is scary and there’s currently no cure. Living with Parkinson’s can be challenging but one thing stands out. The Parkinson’s community is bright and brilliant. \nA community finding their light.\nEach of you will find your light in your individual ways. Maybe it’s trying to see the funny side. Fighting back against a condition that feels like it’s taking over your body. Finding new ways to keep doing the things you love. Or simply getting through a bad day\, and hoping tomorrow will be better. \nParkinson’s is different for everyone.\nParkinson’s is the fastest growing neurological condition in the world. Everyone has their own set of symptoms and deals with them in different ways. Everyone reacts differently to getting a diagnosis. Some people want to join a support group\, learn tai chi\, abseil down a building. Some people really don’t! \nHow can you get involved?\nThis World Parkinson’s Day\, we’re celebrating those moments of laughter and light that lift us up. That person who’s always there for you. A new challenge that you’ve faced head on and overcome\, or found a different way around. Sharing experiences with a community who get it\, because they’re going through it too. Not just on World Parkinson’s Day. But every day.

SUMMARY:National Siblings Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Siblings day\, usually held on the 10th of April is a holiday that celebrates siblings relationships. April 10th is fast approaching\, and you should probably be calling your siblings to hatch up a plan on how to spend the day. Siblings are an incredible gift from God and anyone who has a brother or sister should not let the day just pass by without celebrating them.\nUnfortunately\, siblings day is not recognized by federal governments and the day is therefore not necessarily a national holiday. That means you’ll have to wake up and get to work just like any other day. However\, that is not a reason not to celebrate it. You can always take time off your busy schedule and get together with your siblings for some quality time. \nAmerica has been proactive in trying to get the day recognized as a national holiday by federal governments. 49 states in the United States have been in the forefront pushing for this agenda. India and Australia have also made inroads in getting the day marked appropriately. \nThe siblings day organization has also made tremendous efforts to get this important holiday recognized. The holiday is an invention of one Claudia Evart\, who invented it in a bid to celebrate the lives of her sister and brother who had died while still young.It is not every day that we get to be with our siblings especially when we grow up. Get involved in the national siblings day and take time to appreciate your brother or sister. You can join the conversation about siblings day through the hashtag #NationalSiblingsDay

SUMMARY:Education and Sharing Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:What is Education and Sharing Day 2019 and when is it?Founded by President Jimmy Carter in 1978\, Education and Sharing Day 2024 is on April 12th\, and is an annual USA day of observance. \nEducation and Sharing Day was founded in honour of\, and on the 80th Birthday of\, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson\, commonly known as ‘The Rebbe’\, who was considered to be one of the greatest 20th Century spiritual leaders. \nEducation and Sharing Day falls on the 11th of the Jewish month of Nissan each year\, and as the Jewish and Gregorian Calendars are different and don’t synchronize\, the date of Education and Sharing Day on the Western Calendar is different each year\, but it is usually during March or April. \nEducation and Sharing Day honours the Rabbi’s commitment to improving Judaism and mankind through culture and education\, especially by founding centres for culture\, education and socialisation for young Jewish people. These centres are known as Chabad Houses\, and are mainly located on or near university campuses. Chabad houses are still going strong and providing community and culture for Jewish Students. \nBut Shneerson’s work wasn’t limited to Jewish youth\, he made a significant contribution to the education and betterment of the population in general. And that is also honoured on Education and Sharing Day. \nEducation and Sharing Day is marked by events and parades\, some parades are quite big and well known\, for example the parade in Crown Heights\, Brooklyn\, New York\, which is run by Tzivos Hashem (Jewish Child International).

SUMMARY:International Dark-Sky Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join the International Dark-Sky Association for seven days of celebration\, learning\, and action!\n2024 International Dark Sky Week is\, April the 2nd – the 8th! \nCreated in 2003 by high-school student Jennifer Barlow\, International Dark Sky Week has grown to become a worldwide event and a key component of Global Astronomy Month. Each year it is held in April around Astronomy Day. \nIn explaining why she started the week\, Barlow said\, I want people to be able to see the wonder of the night sky without the effects of light pollution. The universe is our view into our past and our vision into the future. I want to help preserve its wonder. \nInternational Dark Sky Week draws attention to the problems associated with light pollution and promotes simple solutions available to mitigate it. \nAlso read 5 Ways to Celebrate Dark Sky Week! \nLight Pollution Matters \nThe nighttime environment is a crucial natural resource for all life on Earth\, but the glow of uncontrolled outdoor lighting has hidden the stars\, radically changing the nighttime environment. \nBefore the advent of electric light in the 20th century\, our ancestors experienced a night sky brimming with stars that inspired science\, religion\, philosophy\, art and literature including some of Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets. \nThe common heritage of a natural night sky is rapidly becoming unknown to the newest generations. In fact\, millions of children across the globe will never see the Milky Way from their own homes. \nWe are only just beginning to understand the negative repercussions of losing this natural resource. A growing body of research suggests that the loss of the natural nighttime environment is causing serious harm to human health and the environment. \nFor nocturnal animals in particular\, the introduction of artificial light at night could very well be the most devastating change humans have made to their environment. Light pollution also has deleterious effects on other organisms such as migrating birds\, sea turtle hatchlings\, and insects. \nHumans are not immune to the negative effects of light in their nighttime spaces. Excessive exposure to artificial light at night\, particularly blue light\, has been linked to increased risks for obesity\, depression\, sleep disorders\, diabetes and breast cancer.

DESCRIPTION:April’s Bowel Cancer Awareness Month is a fantastic annual event set aside to increase awareness of bowel cancer and raise funds towards treating this condition. It is driven by various charitable organisations including the Beating Bowel Cancer and Bowel Cancer UK\, who have merged with the main aim of ensuring that there would be no victim of Bowel Cancer by 2050. \nJust to mention\, Bowel Cancer is the UK’s second biggest killer cancer. This shouldn’t be the case since it is treatable and curable\, especially when diagnosed at an early stage. Early diagnosis for Bowel Cancer and any other type of cancer saves lives. This is the reason why April has been set aside to educate the public and raise awareness of Bowel Cancer symptoms. \nSome of the common symptoms of bowel cancer include: \n\nBleeding from the bottom and blood in poo\nPersistent and unexplained change in bowel habit\nSudden and unexplained weight loss\nBeing easily fatigued with no obvious reason or cause\nPain or a lump in the tummy\n\nHow to be involved; \nYou can get involved in this campaign through various ways. The first way is for you as an individual to learn about the symptoms of bowel cancer. This will be the starting point\, from which you can spread the word. If you have suffered from this condition before\, you can also share your story to help encourage support those facing bowel cancers. \nThe other way is by making donations for research and lifesaving works aimed at stopping bowel cancer.

SUMMARY:Stress Awareness Month 2024
DESCRIPTION:What is Stress Awareness Month?\nStress and poor mental health are one of the biggest public health challenges that we’re facing. Sadly\, even though that is the case\, we are still not taking its impact seriously enough. We continue to separate mental health from physical health and vice versa. The reality is they cannot be separate – they are two sides of the same coin. There is no health without mental health and stress can lead to numerous health problems. From physical problems\, like heart disease\, insomnia\, digestive issues\, immune system challenges\, etc to more serious mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression. \nStress Awareness Month has been held every April since 1992 to raise awareness of the causes and cures for our modern-day stress epidemic. It is the time when we have an opportunity for an open conversation on the impact of stress. Dedicated time to removing the guilt\, shame\, and stigma around mental health. To talk about stress\, and its effects and open up about our mental and emotional state with friends\, families\, colleagues\, and professionals. \nDuring this annual thirty day period\, health care professionals and health promotion experts across the country will join forces to increase public awareness about both the causes and cures for our modern stress epidemic. \nWhen is Stress Awareness Month 2024?\nStress Awareness Month takes place annually  throughout the whole of April and there are a number of different ways for you to make a change this Stress Awareness Month or help to get the message out. \nHow to get involved this Stress Awareness Month\nThe Stress Management Society have commemorated Stress Awareness Month this year by asking you to take the 30 Day Challenge. \nIf you haven’t yet join our 30 Day Challenge for April. We are encouraging you to pick one action each for your Physical\, Mental and Emotional Wellbeing to carry out every day. \nIt takes 30 days to turn actions into habits\, which is why this is a month-long programme.  The 30-day challenge will maximise your chances of turning useful knowledge and techniques into positive behavioural change. \nClick below to gain the access to our free resources specifically created for the month of April. You can download the 30 Day Challenge\, a Daily De-Stressing Planner\, a Stress Guide\, 7 Steps Achievement Plan\, useful infographics on stress and much more! \nWhat else could you do for Stress Awareness Month?\n\nTalk about Stress and it’s effects – lets work together to reduce the stigma that is associated with stress by talking about the topic openly and freely with friends\, family and colleagues.\nShare your coping mechanisms – if something has worked for you why not share it. It might benefit someone you care about and in the meantime\, it might help you take your focus off your own challenges.\nBe nice to those who are stressed and anxious – we are all undoubtedly going to experience stress and anxiety in our lifetime so treat others going through it with compassion and empathy.\nLook after yourself – we all need to think more about self–care. Take time out of your day to relax or do something that you enjoy. Don’t forget to exercise and eat well\, even when you feel too stressed.\n\nThe most crucial thing you can do when you are stressed or anxious is to make sure you are continuing to look after yourself. Make time to relax when you need to and learn to say no to requests that are too much for you.

SUMMARY:Easter Sunday 2024
DESCRIPTION:The week before Easter is called Holy Week\, and it contains the days of the Easter Triduum\, including Maundy Thursday\, commemorating the Maundy and Last Supper\, as well as Good Friday\, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus. In western Christianity\, Eastertide\, the Easter Season\, begins on Easter Sunday and lasts seven weeks\, ending with the coming of the fiftieth day\, Pentecost Sunday. In Orthodoxy\, the season of Pascha begins on Pascha and ends with the coming of the fortieth day\, the Feast of the Ascension. \nEaster and the holidays that are related to it are moveable feasts in that they do not fall on a fixed date in the Gregorian or Juliancalendars which follow only the cycle of the sun; rather\, its date is determined on a lunisolar calendar similar to the Hebrew calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established two rules\, independence of the Jewish calendar and worldwide uniformity\, which were the only rules for Easter explicitly laid down by the council. No details for the computation were specified; these were worked out in practice\, a process that took centuries and generated a number of controversies. It has come to be the first Sunday after the full moon that occurs on or soonest after 21 March\, but calculations vary in East and West. Details of this complicated computation are found below in the section Date. \nEaster is linked to the Jewish Passover by much of its symbolism\, as well as by its position in the calendar. In many languages\, the words for “Easter” and “Passover” are identical or very similar. Easter customs vary across the Christian world\, and includesunrise services\, exclaiming the Paschal greeting\, clipping the church\, and decorating Easter eggs\, a symbol of the empty tomb. The Easter lily\, a symbol of the resurrection\, traditionally decorates the chancel area of churches on this day and for the rest of Eastertide. Additional customs that have become associated with Easter and are observed by both Christians and some non-Christians include egg hunting\, the Easter Bunny\, and Easter parades. There are also various traditionalEaster foods that vary regionally.

SUMMARY:Good Friday 2024
DESCRIPTION:Good Friday is a Christian religious holiday commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. The holiday is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday\, and may coincide with the Jewish observance of Passover.

SUMMARY:National Skipping Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:National Skipping Day will take place on Friday 24th March 2024 this year and is organised by Skipping Workshops. \nOver the years we have received a great deal of feedback from schools and it seems that participating schools fall into two groups: the first are those schools who promote playground skipping on a regular basis throughout the school year and see NSD as a means of celebrating this commitment . By contrast\, some schools don’t promote skipping throughout the school year but are happy to take part in NSD as a ‘one-off’ celebration of healthy exercise through skipping. The 2024 event is definitely of more interest to the first group (although we hope all schools will consider taking part.) \nFor schools taking part in the 2024 NSD we have developed a graded scheme of skills\, starting with challenges for Nursery and YR children moving forward to skills for children in Y5 & Y6 who have shown a commitment to developing skipping skills. There are 6 levels in all\, starting with ‘basic’ (for the youngest children) moving through to Level 5. For those children who complete the tasks in each level we have a certificate which we hope schools will present to those children who qualify. For each level we will send participating schools detailed staff notes to explain the various challenges. \nIf you register for NSD 2024 we will send you details of the skills involved in the basic level as well as Levels 1 & 2 plus a copy of the different certificates for each level. \nIf you feel able to host an all-day-skip visit from Skipping Workshops between now and the end of the academic year Book a visit with us and you will also receive a free set of double dutch ropes and a 7m long rope for your school.

The World TB Day is one of the 8 official campaigns for global public health marked by WHO (World Health Organization). \nThe day celebrates the day in the year 1882 when Dr Robert Koch shocked the scientific community by making an announcement to a small scientist group that he had discovered tuberculosis cause\, the TB bacillus. During the announcement by Koch in Berlin\, tuberculosis was raging through the Americas and Europe. In every seven people that died\, one of them had died because of TB. The discovery of Koch paved the way toward diagnosing as well as curing tuberculosis. \nBill Clinton\, the former U.S president\, marked World TB Day in 2000\, by administering the DOTS (Directly Observed Therapy\, Short-Course) recommended by WHO to patients at the Hyderabad\, India-based Mahavir Hospital. Clinton stated that these are economic calamities\, human tragedies\, and much more than crises for anyone\, they’re crises for the whole world. The spread of TB is a worldwide problem and no nation is immune. \nToday\, a network of organisations\, the Stop TB Partnership and nations fighting tuberculosis organises the World TB Day to highlight the disease scope and how it can be prevented and cured.

SUMMARY:International Day of Forests 2024
DESCRIPTION:Forests are part of your life in more ways than you realize\nWhen we drink a glass of water\, write in a notebook\, take medicine for a fever or build a house\, we do not always make the connection with forests. And yet\, these and many other aspects of our lives are linked to forests in one way or another. Forests\, their sustainable management and use of resources\, including in fragile ecosystems\, are key to combating climate change\, and to contributing to the prosperity and well-being of current and future generations. Forests also play a crucial role in poverty alleviation and in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \nForests and Education – Learn to Love Forests \nEvery 21 March the United Nations raises awareness of the importance of all types of forests. This year the International Day of Forests promotes education to Learn to Love Forests. It underscores the importance of education at all levels in achieving sustainable forest management and biodiversity conservation. Healthy forests mean healthy\, resilient communities and prosperous economies.

St. Patrick was a Christian missionary who lived in the 5th century and is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland. He is also associated with driving the snakes out of Ireland\, although this is likely a metaphor for his work in converting the Irish people to Christianity. \nSt. Patrick’s Day was originally a religious holiday that was celebrated in Ireland as a day of feast and remembrance for St. Patrick. It was first made an official public holiday in Ireland in 1903\, and the day was marked by religious services and family gatherings. \nOver time\, St. Patrick’s Day became a more secular holiday\, and it spread beyond Ireland to become a global celebration of Irish culture and heritage. In the United States\, the first St. Patrick’s Day parade was held in New York City in 1762\, and today\, the holiday is celebrated with parades\, green-themed events\, and festivities in cities around the world. \nIn Ireland\, St. Patrick’s Day is still celebrated as a public holiday\, with parades and other events taking place in cities and towns across the country. The holiday has also become a major tourist attraction\, with visitors flocking to Ireland to experience the celebrations and learn about Irish culture and history. \nToday\, St. Patrick’s Day is a day to celebrate all things Irish\, from traditional music and dance to food and drink. It is a day to honor the contributions of Irish immigrants to communities around the world and to showcase the unique and vibrant culture of Ireland.

SUMMARY:Young Carers Action Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Each year Carers Trust organises Young Carers Awareness Day. \nThe purpose of the day is to raise public awareness of the challenges faced by young people because of their caring role\, and to campaign for greater support for young carers and their needs. \nWhen Carers Trust set up Young Carers Awareness Day our intention was to make the public much more aware of young carers – who they are\, what they do\, the very real challenges they face\, and why they need support. \nAnd over the years\, we’ve had some great successes\, using the media and social media to really shine a spotlight on young carers. \nBut as Young Carers Awareness Day has got bigger each year\, we’ve also realised there are things we can do to make it better. And many young carers themselves have told us how they think the day could be improved. \nWe wanted to use that feedback from young carers and people working with young carers to make the day even better. So this year we are making some changes based on the feedback we have received. These changes are explained below. \nWe hope you agree these will make the day even better in 2024\, and help create real change for young carers and the support they receive! \nWe are changing the name! \nOne of the things we are always hearing from young carers is that what they want is support\, not sympathy. \nThis got us thinking. Yes\, it’s great to raise public awareness of young carers and what they do. But we need to do more than just encourage public sympathy for young carers and everything they have to do at home. We need to use the day to get people to take action to support young carers. \nSo from 2021 onwards\, the name has been changed to Young Carers Action Day. \nWe will be working with a group of young carers to ensure Young Carers Action Day 2024 features activities that will encourage real action and drive positive change for young carers. \nYoung Carers Action Day 2024 will take place on 15 March 2024. \nWe are including young adult carers \nUntil now\, the day has been for young carers up to the age of 18. \nBut one of the things our recent survey of young carers and young adult carers showed us is that young people aged 18 to 25 are experiencing many of the same challenges as younger carers. \nYoung adult carers need support too as they continue to balance their caring role with the difficult transition into early adulthood. So we will be planning activities and media coverage for this really important group of carers too! \nAnd we are working with young carers and young adult carers to plan Young Carers Action Day 2024 \nCarers Trust has set up a working group including young carers and young adult carers that is working actively to plan activities and media coverage for Young Carers Action Day 2024. With young carers at the heart of planning\, we will ensure that Young Carers Action Day 2024 delivers activities most likely to create positive change for young carers that addresses their needs. \nGot a question? \nWe realise that these are fairly significant changes and you may have questions. If there is something you’d like to ask\, or raise\, we’d love to hear from you! \nPlease feel free to get in touch with Vicky Morgan\, Head of Young Carers and Young Adult Carers. \nMedia enquiry? \nContact the Press team

SUMMARY:Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 2024
DESCRIPTION:When a woman is diagnosed at the earliest stage\, her chance of surviving ovarian cancer for five years or more doubles from just 46 per cent to more than 90 per cent. \nHowever\, nearly half of GPs mistakenly believe symptoms only present in the later stages of the disease\, and less than a third of women in the UK are confident they know the symptoms. \nThis year\, tens of thousands of symptoms leaflets were read\, thousands of cakes were baked\, hundreds of outlandish outfits worn and more teapots brewed than we could count all with one aim in mind to get more women diagnosed at the earliest stage. Your fundraising means we will be able to do more to improve early diagnosis\, fund more life-saving research and provide much-needed support.

SUMMARY:Tell a Fairy Tale Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Tell a Fairy Tale Day is an informal observance held on February 26. It provides a perfect opportunity to read fairy tales to your kinds and enjoy your favorite childhood tales yourself. \nA fairy tale is a short story that typically features fantasy characters and magic. Fairy tales usually take place once upon a time and have a happy ending: evil characters are punished and good characters live happily ever after. \nFairy tale collections are usually the first books read by children (not counting alphabet books\, of course). But children are introduced to fairy tales much earlier than they start to read\, because fairy tales are the most common type of bedtime story. \nEven if you don’t have children or your kids are not around\, you should not miss the opportunity to reacquaint yourself with fairy tales. It’s perfectly okay to read fairy tale books alone. Make a cup of hot chocolate\, curl up in a chair and immerse yourself in the world of princes and princesses\, evil witches and beautiful fairies\, dragons and unicorns\, talking animals and magical plants.

For example\, a group phase followed by a final\, or just a straight forward knockout competition. You could get other pupils involved by making banners to support teams or even writing supporter songs. Maybe you could host an all-girls tournament or encourage a record number of girls in your own school to take part in activity\, just like in our National Cups. \n Football formats  \nYou can choose to use whichever format of football best suits your requirements: 11-a-side\, 9-a-side\, 7-a-side\, 6-a-side\, indoor 5-a-side or even futsal if you have the facilities available.

By getting parents\, carers\, and employers engaged in discussions\, PMHD aims to challenge the stigmas surrounding parents’ and carers’ mental health\, start a discussion\, and provide some resilience tips. \nstem4\, a charity that supports young people to build positive mental health\, is proud to be the UK founder of Parent Mental Health Day\, which started in 2022. \nWhen is Parent Mental Health Day 2024?\nParent Mental Health Day (PMHD) 2024 will take place on the 27th of January and the theme will be “Creating Positive Relationships”.

SUMMARY:National Bullying Prevention Month 2023
DESCRIPTION:As a parent\, as I’m sure many of you are\, one of my worst fears is to find that my children are either being bullied\, or being a bully themselves. I often wonder how we would deal with discovering either of these scenarios. In a world where bullying can take on many new and different forms\, it concerns me that not enough parents\, guardians\, families and friends would know what to do for the best. \nAlthough sad that such an awareness campaign has to exist in the first place\, it’s also reassuring and useful to know that the National Bullying Prevention Center run the National Bullying Prevention Month throughout the month of October with lots of information and support readily available to help anyone who may need it. \nEstablished by PACER\, a center for parent training and information for families and youth with disabilities\, the initial campaign was designed to raise awareness of the long lasting effects that bullying has on many children and young people and to change the perception that bullying is a part of growing up that cannot be challenged. Collaborating with education-based organizations such as the National PTA\, the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association they provide schools\, parents and students with the educational resources and support to better respond to bullying behavior. \nThroughout the month the campaign aims to work at a grassroots level with local schools\, community groups\, young people and families to address any issues faced by them\, signpost to organisations who may be able to offer support\, educate youngsters about the effects of bullying and promote kindness\, acceptance and inclusion. On a higher level they also work with news and media outlets encouraging them to promote their message and cause as well as communicating with education and public policy leaders about the role they play in bullying prevention. \nThe dedicated website has many ways you can show your support – be it as an individual\, school or community\, as well as offering ideas for activities for all school ages\, a really useful toolkit advising of lesson plans and details of special events planned across the nation. \nNow a nationally recognised awareness campaign with support from Facebook\, Disney\, Instagram\, CNN\, TLC and Yahoo! Kids and many\, many more organisations this is a campaign that should be embraced by all within our communities.

SUMMARY:World School Milk Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:World School Milk Day is held all over the world on the last Wednesday of September every year to celebrate the benefits and success of school milk programmes. \nThe first World School Milk Day was celebrated in September 2000 and has since become an annual event promoted by the FAO (Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations). \nThe History \nIn the UK\, our history of school milk spans back over 100 years to the Provision of Meals Act 1906. This recognised that the provision of school food would allow needy and undernourished children to benefit more from education. Also\, that milk was a food that could be provided to children to prevent poor nutrition. \nAfter the Great Depression and the World Wars malnutrition among children was a great concern. So school milk schemes were introduced and developed. Throughout the 20th century\, the provision of milk to school children has helped combat undernutrition in times of scarcity. \nSchool Milk Today \nMilk and dairy products continue to play a role in children’s diets today. A carton of school milk provides a 4-6 year old with: \n52% of their recommended calcium intake \n59% of their recommended iodine intake \n100% of their recommended vitamin B12 intake \n59% of their recommended B2 intake. \nFor older children aged 7-10 years\, a carton of milk provides: \n42% of their recommended calcium intake \n53% of their recommended iodine intake \n100% of their recommended vitamin B12 \n47% of their recommended B2 intake. \nMilk also provides energy and protein for their growth and development. \nWorld School Milk Day is celebrated in many countries\, with an increasing number of activities taking place each year. Schools and milk providers are free to celebrate as they wish. Celebrations can be at any level – from national or regional events to individual schools. Find out more about dairy and health for primary school children.

SUMMARY:National Public Lands Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:National Public Lands Day (NPLD) is a national annual observance that typically falls on the last Saturday in September. It focuses on volunteer conservation of public lands (lands held by central or local governments). \nOrganized each year by the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF)\, National Public Lands Day promotes the connection between people and the environment by inviting everyone to get outside. Public lands in the United States include parks\, forests\, and wildlife management areas. Most of them are open for recreational use. \nThe Nations largest volunteer event\, the event was first held in 1994 when 700 volunteers worked at three sites. The initiative turned out a huge success and became an annual tradition. \nBy 2014\, participation grew to about 175\,000 volunteers at more than 2\,000 sites throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. NPLD focuses on caring for public lands across the country\, educating the citizens about the natural resources and environment. Whether it be from damage caused by natural disasters and extreme weather\, human activities or the host of other factors that impact upon our public lands threatening the health and well being of the people and wildlife who depend upon them\, public land managers\, volunteers\, and others who steward these special places work tirelessly to restore these areas\, make them more resilient to future threats\, and ensure that people and wildlife continue to enjoy them for years to come. \nIt is supported by federal agencies\, state\, regional and local governments\, and non-profit organizations. NPLD volunteers collect invasive plants\, build and maintain trails\, plant trees\, shrubs and other plants\, remove trash from trails and other places. They also donate money through volunteer services to help improve public land sites. \nFree for all to attend and volunteers welcomed\, what a fantastic opportunity to get outdoors\, breathe in the fresh air\, enjoy the scenery and even volunteer!

SUMMARY:World Alzheimer's Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:September 21st every year is World Alzheimer’s Day around the world. This is an international campaign aimed at raising awareness and challenge the common stigma that surrounds Alzheimer related dementia. \nAlzheimer’s is a progressive disease that impairs memory and other mental functions. It is the most common form of dementia that generalizes memory loss and loss of other essential cognitive abilities that are serious enough to interfere with an individual’s daily life. \nThe first Alzheimer’s month campaign was launched in 2012. From previous studies\, an average of 2 out of 3 people globally have little or no understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and associated dementia in their countries. \nSince its inception\, the impact of World Alzheimer’s Month is increasing. However\, the stigmatisation and lack of information surrounding dementia remains to be a global problem that calls for global action. Most people often think that this disease is a normal part of ageing. \nThough this may not be true\, a greatest risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease is increasing age. This is evident by majority of Alzheimer’s patients being 65 years or older. This doesn’t completely classify the disease as an elderly disease. This is because there are approximately 200\,000 Americans under 65 suffering from disease. \nFor this year’s event\, organisations and interested individuals can get involved by supporting awareness through contacting the Alzheimer’s association in their specific country.

SUMMARY:International Day of Peace 2023
DESCRIPTION:International Day of Peace is an International event that is observed each year by nations all across the world. \nThe event is commemorated on 21st of September each year. It is a day that was set aside by the United Nations General assembly for everyone around the world to devote to keeping peace\, despite any differences they may have\, as well as play a part in building a peace culture that will last for generations to come. \nInternational Day of Peace was started way back in 1981 through the resolution 36/67 by the United Nations General Assembly\, in an effort to reconcile people around the world. Last year’s theme was\, Together for Peace: Respect\, Safety\, and Dignity for all. This year’s theme is yet to be announced. \nCommunities across the world observe this day in different ways.

An activity that is common in people observing this day is the one minute silence that is observed at 12 noon across all time zones. This activity was started to create a ‘Peace Wave’ that moves around the globe.

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. During any sight test\, other health conditions including diabetes and high blood pressure can be detected. \nTo maintain healthy eyes\, you should eat well\, avoid smoking and wear eye protection during bright sunlight. \nThe importance of eye sight towards the overall wellbeing\, independence and quality of life of an individual is too important to be ignored. This is why eye care charities\, health professionals and organisations across the UK are encouraged to join together during this week to promote the importance of eye health and need for regular tests.

SUMMARY:Jeans For Genes Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Jeans for Genes Day is held this year from 18th – 24th September. But what is Jeans for Genes Day? \nLife-altering Genetic Disorders affect around half a million children in the UK. Jeans for Genes Day is fundraising day for children with genetic conditions in the UK. \nOn Jeans for Genes day\, participating schools and workplaces allow students and staff to wear jeans and casual wear to school and work instead of their usual uniforms and formal workwear. They participate in fundraising by raising money in return for wearing casual wear and by holding events to raise money. \nMoney raised by Jeans for Genes Day is distributed in an annual grant programme that provides funds to groups and organisations that support children with genetic disorders. One of the main beneficiaries is Genetic Disorders UK\, an organisation that supports families affected by genetic disorders. \nMoney raised for Jeans for Genes also goes on developing resources in schools to encourage inclusion of children affected by genetic disorders. \nSome of the outcomes of fundraising include holidays for families affected by genetic disorders\, provision of communication equipment\, sensory equipment\, support groups\, support websites\, mobility aids\, education and training and much more. \nThere is a dedicated website for Jeans for Jeans Day\, where you can find out more. Donations can be made on the website all year round\, and you can arrange your participation or your workplace’s participation.

SUMMARY:Organ Donation Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:During Organ Donation Awareness Week we will continue to raise awareness of the important need for families to talk about organ donation to help save lives. \nThe campaign last year saw a tremendous amount of media coverage\, social media activity and support on the ground at events. \nWe’re excited to announce that the dates for this year’s Organ Donation Week have now been confirmed.

SUMMARY:Great British Beach Clean 2023
DESCRIPTION:The Great British Beach Clean is a week-long citizen science event\, where hundreds of beach cleans take place up and down the UK. 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 2023. \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. We need to gather more and more data to wage war on other types of beach litter\, and you can help. \nWant to run your own beach clean event? Find out how to become an organiser \nMake 2023 your year to save our seas. \nTo get involved this year find an event near you – events as a list or on a map. Sign up for the event/s you’d like to attend and the beach clean organiser will be in touch. \nThe Great British Beach Clean includes the Great Channel Islands Beach Clean and Great Northern Irish Beach Clean.

SUMMARY:National POW / MIA Recognition Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:National POW/MIA Recognition Day is an observance that honours whose who were prisoners of war (POW) as well as those who are still missing in action (MIA). \nIt is observed in the United States on the third Friday in September\, which in 2023 will fall on the 15th of September. \nNational POW/MIA Recognition Day was proclaimed by the United States Congress in 1998. It is one of the six national observances when the POW/MIA Flag can be flown. The other five observances are Armed Forces Day\, Memorial Day\, Flag Day\, Independence Day\, and Veterans Day. The POW/MIA flag was created by the National League of Families in 1972 and was officially recognized by the Congress in 1990. It is a symbol of concern about United States military personnel taken as POW or listed as MIA. The POW/MIA flag should be no larger than the United States flag. It is typically flown immediately below or adjacent to the national flag as second in the order of precedence. \nOn National POW/MIA Recognition Day\, the flag is flown on the grounds of major military installations\, veterans memorials\, government agencies\, federal national cemeteries. \nIn the armed forces\, a single table and chair draped with the POW/MIA flag are displayed in mess halls and dining halls. Such installation symbolises the hope for the return of these who are missing in action.

SUMMARY:World Suicide Prevention Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:World Suicide Prevention Day is observed on September 10 each year to promote worldwide action to prevent suicides. Various events and activities are held during this occasion to raise awareness that suicide is a major preventable cause of premature death. \nWhat do people do? \nWorld Suicide Prevention Day gives organizations\, government agencies and individuals a chance to promote awareness about suicide\, mental illnesses associated with suicide\, as well as suicide prevention. Organizations such as the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) and World Health Organization (WHO) play a key role in promoting this event. \nEvents and activities for World Suicide Prevention Day include: \nThe launch of new government initiatives to prevent suicide. \nConferences\, open days\, educational seminars or public lectures. \nMedia programs promoting suicide awareness and prevention. \nMemorial services or candlelight ceremonies to remember those who died from suicide. \nOrganizing cultural or spiritual events\, fairs or exhibitions. \nLaunches of publications about suicide awareness and prevention. \nTraining courses about suicide and depression awareness. \nMany of these initiatives are celebrated in various countries worldwide. Some of these events and activities are held at a local level\, while others are nation-wide. Many communities around the world reaffirm their commitment to suicide prevention on World Suicide Prevention Day. \nBackground \nNearly 3000 people on average commit suicide daily\, according to WHO. For every person who completes a suicide\, 20 or more may attempt to end their lives. About one million people die by suicide each year. Suicide is a major preventable cause of premature death which is influenced by psycho-social\, cultural and environmental risk factors that can be prevented through worldwide responses that address these main risk factors. There is strong evidence indicating that adequate prevention can reduce suicide rates. \nWorld Suicide Prevention Day\, which first started in 2003\, is annually held on September 10 each year as an IASP initiative. WHO co-sponsors this event. World Suicide Prevention Day aims to: \nRaise awareness that suicide is preventable. \nImprove education about suicide. \nSpread information about suicide awareness. \nDecrease stigmatization regarding suicide. \nWHO and IASP work with governments and other partners to ensure that suicide is no longer stigmatized\, criminalized or penalized. WHO’s role is to build political action and leadership to develop national responses to prevent suicide\, strengthen national planning capacity to establish the core building blocks of such a national response\, and build the national capacities to implement these responses.

SUMMARY:National Eczema Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:In Previous National Eczema Weeks we urged everyone to Take action on eczema’. 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.

SUMMARY:International Literacy Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Each year September 8th marks UNESCO’s International Literacy day\, raising awareness globally on the issues surrounding adult and child literacy. First held in 1966 and now part of the UN’s sustainable development goals program adopted in 2015\, International Literacy day highlights the changes and improvements being made worldwide in literacy development. \nUNESCO has been central to improving global literacy since 1946 and promotes International Literacy day in partnership with governments\, charities\, local communities and experts in the field worldwide. Using themes and programs the day aims to turn attention on literacy in all its forms in a changing world. Recognising literacy encompasses more than the written word in societies today. \nInternational Literacy Day is a day to remind world leaders\, influencers and the general public of the current status of adult literacy and learning. UNESCO has used the phrase Literacy is the best remedy in its banners seeing literacy as key to the right for all to an education. In 2015 the UN adopted its Sustainable Development goals to mobilise efforts to eradicate poverty and inequalities across the world\, of which improving literacy rates is an integral element. \nIn conjunction with International Literacy day\, UNESCO also announces its International Literacy awards. A prestigious prize recognising excellence and innovation\, submissions will be on Literacy and skills development. With International Literacy Day the awards help in promoting awareness of the importance and relevance of literacy and adult learning.

SUMMARY:National Read A Book Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:September 6th is National Read a Book Day. Here are a few of the reasons you should join in on this holiday and read a book. \nRead a book today BECAUSE \nIt’s the best excuse for peace and quiet. \nYou love sitting in your favourite chair. \nThat stack of borrowed books needs a dent. \nAll your friends are busy. \nYou need a new favourite quotation. \nBooks are on your schedule: you can pick them up and put them down at your own convenience. \nWalking to the library is good exercise. \nYou saw the movie\, but you heard the book is way better. \nYou’ve always wanted to read Anna Karenina. \nYou’ve always wanted to reread Anna Karenina. \nThere’s a swath of history you’re sick of having to admit you know NOTHING about. \nSome sentences are better than kissing (See Nabokov). \nYour perspective can be changed by a single passage (See Vonnegut). \nYour life can be changed by a book (See The Year of Magical Thinking). \nYou’re going through something and you just need to get lost in a beautiful\, made-up world. \nYou haven’t gotten to use your imagination in a really long time. \nToday’s world is so loud\, hyper-connected and busy. \nThe world inside your head is yours and yours alone.

SUMMARY:International Day of Charity 2023
DESCRIPTION:As part of the United Nations 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development\, adopted in September 2015\, the UN has recognized the importance of eradicating poverty in all forms. Poverty presents an enormous global challenge for the international community\, as is a significant threat to sustainable development. In the spirit of global solidarity\, the 2030 Agenda is focused on how best to meet the needs of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable citizens and acknowledges the role that the private sector must play in supporting the various organizations who have undertaken philanthropic efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda. \nPoverty exists in every country around the globe\, from powerful industrial nations to developing countries. It continues to affect millions of people\, regardless of their social and cultural situations\, and is a barrier to true prosperity and equality. \nIn recognition of the significant role that charities and individuals have undertaken to alleviate human suffering and humanitarian crises\, the UN General Assembly\, under resolution A/RES/67/105PDF\, has designated the 5th of September as the International Day of Charity. This date was chosen as it is the anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa\, and the resolution is\, in part\, a tribute to her work and dedication to charitable causes. \nThis 5th of September\, the United Nations invites all Member States\, international and regional organisations\, non-governmental organisations and individuals alike to commemorate the International Day of Charity by encouraging charitable acts in their respective communities to raise public awareness of this event.

SUMMARY:International Vulture Awareness Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:The first Saturday in September each year is International Vulture Awareness Day. \nVultures are an ecologically vital group of birds that face a range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction. \nThe International Vulture Awareness Day has grown from Vulture Awareness Days run by the Birds of Prey Programme of the Endangered Wildlife Trust in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England\, who decided to work together and expand the initiative into an international event. \nIt is now recognised that a co-ordinated international day will publicise the conservation of vultures to a wider audience and highlight the important work being carried out by the world’s vulture conservationists. \nOn the first Saturday in September\, the aim is for each participating organisation to carry out their own activities that highlight vulture conservation and awareness. This website provides a central place for all participants to outline these activities and see the extent of vulture conservation across the world. Additionally\, it is a valuable resource for vulture workers to learn about the activities of their colleagues and to perhaps develop new collaborations or exchange information.

SUMMARY:Organic September 2023
DESCRIPTION:Organic September is a month-long campaign which aims to raise awareness of Organic products\, and the brands\, producers and farmers who bring them to us in the UK. \nFoods labelled as organic must meet strict regulations on how they have been grown and produced. 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.

SUMMARY:Childhood Cancer Awareness Month / A Month of Movement 2023
DESCRIPTION:What is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month / A Month Of Movement 2023?\nSeptember is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month\, and is symbolised by a gold ribbon\, worn to commemorate the event. 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 2023?\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.

SUMMARY:International Youth Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Just when you thought that Universal Children’s Day would be enough for the UN\, think again: it also runs International Youth Day\, which focuses on tweens and teens and their place in society. It’s not just to protect them\, but to include them in the development of communities around the world\, whether they’re rich or poor. \nAmong the focal areas for youth development and protection with this UN initiative include education\, employment\, the environment\, delinquency\, girls and young women\, HIV/AIDS and intergenerational relations. These were officially decided upon in 1995\, the tenth anniversary of the International Year of the Youth. \nInternational Youth Day is held each year on the 12th of August and is an initiative that celebrates the qualities of young people and that recognises the challenges that today’s youth can face. \nInternational Youth Day began in 2000 and was organised by the United Nations to celebrate the contribution that young people make in education\, employment\, conflict resolution and social justice to name a few. \nFor information on the theme of this year’s International Youth Day\,  keep an eye on the United Nations website for updates.

SUMMARY:National Allotments Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:Many of you will have attended events in your local area as part of previous National Allotment Week’s to celebrate how important allotments and other open spaces are for you and your local community. 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

SUMMARY:World Breastfeeding Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:Set every August for the first seven days of the month\, World Breastfeeding Week aims to highlight the huge benefits that breastfeeding can bring to both the health and welfare of babies\, as well as a wider push for maternal health\, focusing on good nutrition\, poverty reduction and food security. \nThe event is organised every year by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA)\, a global network that aims to protect\, promote and support breastfeeding around the world. Along the way\, it works with the World Health Organization and Unicef to get its aid to the right people in the right communities. \nWorld Breastfeeding Week begins each year on the 1st August and runs right through until the 7th. \nOf course there are many different demands on busy mother’s\, meaning that women who may want to breastfeed their babies haven’t always got the support to continue this. Busy working schedules\, alongside the many other challenges that modern women face can mean that women don’t always feel that breastfeeding their child is something that is an accessible option to them. \nBreastfeeding weeks aim to raise awareness of the health and wellbeing outcomes of breastfeeding and the importance of supporting mothers to breastfeed for as long as they wish.

SUMMARY:Yorkshire Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Named after the biggest county in England (if you unite North\, South\, West and East Riding of Yorkshire\, which is sort of cheating)\, it’s no surprise that Yorkshire Day is a thing. As an area on the up and up\, it’s becoming one of the most important places in the UK\, as the likes of Leeds\, Hull\, Bradford have become prominent as centres of finance\, culture and much more. \nSo\, whether you’re from Yorkshire or not\, celebrate like one of the locals on August 1st by donning your flat cap\, walking the damp countryside with your whippet\, eating a Yorkshire pudding with gravy\, then settling down to complain about the rising price of a pint of best bitter\, ending the night on a cheerier note by remembering the good old days.

SUMMARY:Parents' Day in the USA 2023
DESCRIPTION:The fourth Sunday in July is Parents’ Day in the USA. \nThis holiday is a combination of Father’s Day and Mother’s Day. And what a celebration this should be! The holiday was established in 1994 by President Bill Clinton as the day that recognizes\, uplifts and supports the role of parents in the rearing of children. ay. \nThis observance is more consistent\, because it minimizes traditional sex-based differences in parental roles. But as far as Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are very popular in the USA\, its unlikely Parents’ Day will replace them any time soon. \nSo if you are parents then give yourself a break today and treat yourself. Or if you have or know some hardworking\, lovely parents – remind them how special they are today!

SUMMARY:National Marine Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:Running from the 22nd of July to the 6th of August\, to take advantage of the tides\, National Marine Week is a chance to celebrate the wonderful wildlife found in the seas around the UK\, and our relationship with this incredible habitat that surrounds us. \nWildlife Trusts around the UK will be holding sea-themed events\, from snorkelling through the waters of Wembury Bay in Devon\, to exploring the rockpools of Yorkshire’s Boggle Hole on a seashore safari\, or even picnicking with a porpoise on the clifftops of North Wales. \nNo matter where you are in the UK\, there’s plenty to celebrate: our seas are home to over half of all our wildlife (more than 30\,000 species)\, contribute to flood management and water purification\, and provide the oxygen for every other breath you take! \nAnd remember\, in the UK you’re never more than 70 miles from the sea. \nLearn more about events and how you can get involved on our National Marine Week page.

SUMMARY:Ask an Archaeologist Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 #AskAnArchaeologist Day will be on Friday 22 July 2023 – get your questions ready! \n#AskAnArchaeologist Day on Twitter is an official part of the CBA Festival of Archaeology and is a chance for people from all over the world to ask archaeologists questions\, and an opportunity for archaeologists to share their knowledge. \nAnyone with access to Twitter can ask a question using the #AskAnArchaeologist hashtag and any archaeologist who has an answer is encouraged to respond. \nThe idea is based on the hugely successful #AskACurator day\, set up by Mar Dixon\, which has run for several years on Twitter. The team at National Trust Midlands came up with the idea for the same sort of day for Archaeology\, and so #AskAnArchaeologist Day was born. \nThe first #AskAnArchaeologist day was in 2018 and was very successful. People from all over the world took part with lots of fascinating questions and discussions taking place. There’s nothing too formal about the day and there’s no such thing as a silly question – whatever you want to know about archaeology\, ask away and someone will (hopefully) know the answer. \nThat’s it really! In the meantime\, spread the word and get thinking of questions (or polishing up your answers).

SUMMARY:World Emoji Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:In recent years July the 17th has been known as World Emoji Day\, chosen because the calendar emoji is depicted with the date of the 17th as it’s image. \nEmoji’s have actually been used since the beginning of the internet however their popularity has increased on a massive scale with the modern day smartphone having them built into our messaging dashboards\, well known emoji merchandise on sale around the world and even an emoji movie in honour of them. \nIn a time where we communicate verbally less and less\, opting for emails\, texts\, even dictating messages through our devices\, an emoji is a great way of expressing the sentiment behind our messages when they can quite often otherwise be lost. \nHave a look through your messages and see which is your most used emoji and what this says about you. Happy World Emoji Day!

DESCRIPTION:Look Sharp on International Sunglasses Day! \nAnyone who enjoys spending time in the sun and wants to look cool while protecting their eyes is sure to have fun on International Sunglasses Day. The event takes place on June 27th and a number of events are organised by the Vision council to help promote the importance of wearing sunglasses. \nResearch has shown that people who do not wear sunglasses risk doing substantial damage to their eyes due to the harmful effects of the sun’s rays. Even on cloudy days\, sunlight can still be strong enough to cause lasting damage to the eyes\, which means that it is important to wear sunglasses or another form of UV eye protection at all times. \nTo help celebrate and promote International Sunglasses Day\, the Vision Council is encouraging both groups and individuals to get involved by taking photographs of themselves wearing sunglasses. These photos can be shared on various social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook with the hashtags #SunglassSelfie and #NationalSunglassesDay. \nThese days sunglasses come in just about every style imaginable as well as a broad spectrum of prices\, which means that there is sure to be the perfect pair to suit anyone. Tinted contact lenses with built in UV protection are also available in both permanent and disposable types\, while people who wear eyeglasses can also find special vari-tint sunglasses that become darker according to the amount of sunlight that they are exposed to as well as sunglasses that clip onto the frames of regular eyeglasses whenever they are nee

SUMMARY:Deafblind Awareness Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:Deafblind Awareness Week \n26 June – 2 July 2023 \nDeafblindness is far more common than many people realise… around 400\,000 people are affected by sight and hearing loss in the UK. That’s enough to fill Wembley Stadium nearly five times! \nIt affects everyone differently\, some might need to adjust the settings on their TV or turn up the volume on the phone\, and others might need assistance dogs\, canes and more formal care. \nBut for anyone affected\, everyday activities can be difficult and time consuming. Imagine trying to book a doctor’s appointment\, meet a friend for coffee\, or even make dinner if you can’t see or hear very well. \nMy deafblindness \nDuring Deafblind Awareness Week we’re showing that everyone experiences deafblindness in different ways.

SUMMARY:International Widows Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:International Widows Day is a global awareness day that takes place annually on 23rd June. The day was launched by the United Nations in 2010 to raise awareness of the violation of human rights that widows suffer in many countries following the death of their spouses. \nIn many countries with traditional societies\, women find themselves left in poverty when their husband dies. In some countries\, these women find themselves denied of inheritance and land rights\, evicted from their homes\, ostracised and abused. The children of widows also often find themselves affected\, withdrawn from school and more vulnerable to abuse\, especially in the case of girls. \nInternational Widows Day works to encourage action in achieving full rights for widows\, highlighting the need for more research and statistics into violence\, discrimination and poverty suffered by widows and develop policies and programmes to address the problem.\nThe ultimate goal of the day is to develop resources and policy to empower widows and allow them to have access to education\, work\, healthcare and lives free of violence and abuse. Enabling them to create a life for themselves and their children following the death of their husband and ending a cycle of poverty and abuse. \nFurther details about International Widows Day can be found at www.un.org

SUMMARY:World Refugee Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:World Refugee Day is held on June 20th. This is an annual event\, held on the same date each year. \nWorld Refugee Day honours the strength and courage of refugees and encourages public awareness and support of the refugees\, people who have had to flee their home lands because of conflict or natural disaster. \nRefugees are vulnerable and in need\, and are often misunderstood and maligned\, and often have very little or nothing of their posessions and little food\, they often have to leave their homes with nothing or with what they can carry. They suffer cold\, hunger\, trauma\, despair\, disease\, violence and loss. The awareness day is to help public understanding of refugees as well as raising support and help. \nAcross the world\, agencies\, both governmental and non-governmental\, work tirelessly to help refugees\, but with people being made refugees daily\, more help and awareness is constantly needed\, to ensure that refugees are treated fairly and provided for\, rather than being neglected or shunned\, and there are projects to re-settle and provide for refugees. So World Refugee Day highlights all of this. And now it also marks the launch of the ‘With Refugees’ petition\, which will state the needs and potential rights of refugees.

SUMMARY:Refugee Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:Refugee Week takes place every year across the world in the week around World Refugee Day on the 20 June. In the UK\, Refugee Week is a nationwide programme of arts\, cultural and educational events that celebrate the contribution of refugees to the UK\, and encourages a better understanding between communities. \nRefugee Week started in 1998 as a direct reaction to hostility in the media and society in general towards refugees and asylum seekers. An established part of the UK’s cultural calendar\, Refugee Week is now one of the leading national initiatives working to counter this negative climate\, defending the importance of sanctuary and the benefits it can bring to both refugees and host communities. \nThe aims of Refugee Week are: \nTo encourage a diverse range of events to be held throughout the UK\, which facilitate positive encounters between refugees and the general public in order to encourage greater understanding and overcome hostility\nTo showcase the talent and expertise that refugees bring with them to the UK\nTo explore new and creative ways of addressing the relevant issues and reach beyond the refugee sector\nTo provide information which educates and raises awareness of the reality of refugee experiences \nOur ultimate aim is to create better understanding between different communities and to encourage successful integration\, enabling refugees to live in safety and continue making a valuable contribution. \nRefugee Week is an umbrella festival\, with events held by a wide range of arts\, voluntary\, faith and refugee community organisations\, schools\, student groups and more. Past events have included arts festivals\, exhibitions\, film screenings\, theatre and dance performances\, concerts\, football tournaments and public talks\, as well as creative and educational activities in schools. \nThrough Refugee Week we aim to provide an important opportunity for asylum seekers and refugees to be seen\, listened to and valued. \nJoin us in celebrating Refugee Week!

SUMMARY:Autistic Pride Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, organisations from across the globe celebrate Autistic Pride Day on June 18 with a variety of events. The aim of this day is to raise awareness amongst those who are not on the autistic spectrum disorder so they do not see autistic people as requiring treatment\, but as unique individuals. \nThis annual event was first celebrated by Aspies for Freedom in 2005 and they modelled Autistic Pride Day on the gay pride movement. One of the most significant aspects of the day is that it is not run by charities; it is run by autistic people themselves. Since its beginnings\, Autistic Pride Day has been a community event and not a day for other organisations to promote themselves by stifling autistic people. It is now a global celebration that takes place predominantly online. \nAutistic Pride Day is represented by the rainbow infinity symbol. This symbol is intended to represent the diversity of autistic people and the infinite possibilities and variations within the autistic community. \nAccording to representatives of Autistic Pride Day\, people with autism have unique characteristics that provide them with both rewards and challenges. Although many of the difficulties they face are because of their neurodiversity\, another factor is issues in society. For example\, society’s attitude towards autism is often one of pity or a belief that it is a condition requiring treatment. \nActivists want to shift attitudes away from this and towards acceptance and the realisation that autism is a difference rather than a disability.

SUMMARY:World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is held on June 15th and is an annual international UN observance day on the same date each year. The day came about as a result of UN resolution 66/127. \nWith a growing global population of elderly people\, and as longevity increases\, abuse of the elderly is an increasing and serious problem that affects health and human rights and can cause death\, so it is vital to raise awareness of it and thus prevent it whenever and wherever possible. \nElder abuse is global and comes in many forms including physical\, emotional\, sexual and financial abuse and also neglect. Elderly people are human and deserve the same dignity and respect as people of all other age groups. \nElderly people are particularly vulnerable to abuse and to being unable to defend themselves and get help as fear and infirmity can be major barriers to seeking and getting help\, and sometimes spotting and challenging abuse in the elderly isn’t easy\, some are isolated having outlived family and friends\, and some are abused in institutions where abuse is not spotted or is covered up\, and in some cases the elderly are not given priority by authorities in abuse matters. \nThe UN aims to raise awareness of elder abuse and prevent it\, and on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day\, communities and the press and media can run events and highlight the danger of elder abuse and what can be done to prevent it and what to do if it is spotted.

SUMMARY:Brake's Kids Walk 2023
DESCRIPTION:It is every child’s right to be able to walk in their community without fear of traffic and pollution. Danger from traffic is a big factor in whether families are able to walk safely in the places where they live. It affects their ability to be healthy and socially active. \nChildren of all ages are at risk of being hurt or killed when walking near roads. On average\, six children are killed or seriously injured on roads in Britain every day – that’s equivalent to a whole class of children every single week. \nBrake’s Kids Walk is a great way to inspire and engage children about the dangers they face and raise awareness among parents and the wider community about the need to protect children on roads. \nIt’s also a great opportunity to fundraise for Brake and support families who have lost loved ones in road crashes.

SUMMARY:Carers Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:About Carers Week \nCarers Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring\, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK. It also helps people who don’t think of themselves as having caring responsibilities to identify as carers and access much-needed support. \nThe campaign is brought to life by thousands of individuals and organisations who come together to provide support for carers\, run activities and highlight the vital role carers play in our communities\, drawing attention to just how important caring is. \nCarers need to be recognised for the difficulties they are experiencing\, respected for all they are doing\, provided with information\, and given the support they need to care safely. \nA carer is anyone who looks after a family member or friend who has a disability\, mental or physical illness\, addiction\, or who needs extra help as they grow older. Caring’s impact on all aspects of life from relationships and health to finances and work can be significant. Whilst many feel that caring is one of the most important things they do\, its challenges should not be underestimated. Caring without the right information and support can be tough. It is vitally important that we recognise the contribution carers make to their families and local communities\, workplaces and society\, and that they get the support they need. \nFind out how you can get involved in this year’s Carer’s Week here\, and show your support by saying “I Care” on social media.

SUMMARY:World Milk Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Raise a glass to celebrate World Milk Day 2023 \nWe say Cheers’\, Mma manu’\, Yam sing‚to the parents who make sure there’s always a carton in the fridge\, to the hard working dairy farmers\, to the organisations who provide dairy supplements to help tackle famine and malnutrition\, to the huge network of people who help us to enjoy milk. \nAs we Raise a Glass to milk\, we connect with others and invite them to join the celebration that the goodness represents. It allows us to share the stories about all the goodness of milk and all the people who produce it. It offers a simple\, natural way to recognize the people who matter most to us ‚ in our communities\, schools and homes. \nBack in 2001\, somebody decided that the world should take a day to celebrate anything and everything related to milk. They requested that the FAO (the Food and Agriculture Organisations of the United Nations) should put forward a specific day for these festivities they selected June 1st\, and the rest his history! \nThe tradition of celebrating World Milk Day on June 1st came from the fact that many countries were already celebrating World Milk Day on or around this date. A date in late May was originally proposed\, but some countries felt that they already had too many holidays around this time. As a result\, June 1st became the special day dedicated to milk. \nWorld Milk Day puts a lot of attention on milk and does a great job in publicising activities connected with the milk industry. The fact that many countries around the globe all choose this specific day for World Milk Day shows that milk is a food that is cherished worldwide.

SUMMARY:World Hunger Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Everyone Deserves to Eat\, Support World Hunger Day 2023 \nIt has been estimated that almost 800 million people in the world don’t have enough food to eat. This is quite a staggering figure. In 2011\, The Hunger Project started an initiative known as World Hunger Day. Celebrating sustainable solutions to hunger and poverty is the aim of this day. \nWhat is The Hunger Project? \nIt is a global organisation committed to finding a tenable solution to world hunger. Leaders of this organisation include business executives\, heads of state and experts in women’s rights and social justice. It was founded in 1977 and is a worldwide\, non-profit group of like-minded people. \nWhat You Can do to Show Your Support \nOne of the most obvious ways is to make a donation to the The Hunger Project Trust. Money raised will go to help both men and women in developing countries become agents of their own development. There is a Social Media Toolkit that can be used for sharing posts on Facebook\, Twitter and Instagram. You can tell your friends about World Hunger Day and ask for their support. \nAre You Brave Enough to Try a Week Without Sugar? \nAnyone interested in showing their support is being encouraged to give up sugar for one week. That means no added\, processed sugar or artificial sweeteners. It won’t be easy but is a good way to show support for all the millions of people around the world who live below the poverty line and go to bed hungry every night.

SUMMARY:European Neighbours' Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Every Year at the End of May is European Neighbour’s Day \nNeighbour’s Day celebrations take place all over the world. The European Neighbour’s Day is held at the end of may and encourages residents groups and housing organisations to participate and organise their own individual events. \nWhat is the Goal of Neighbour’s Day? \nNeighbour’s day is organised by the European Federation of Local Solidarity. The aim of the day is to promote better community communication and cohesion. Social bonds are becoming thinner and people are leading more solitary lives. Neighbour’s Day is meant to counteract this and encourages people to have fun getting together. \nThe celebration was first launched in Paris in 2000. Ever since then\, more and more countries have been taking part. Last year\, for example\, there were more than 30 million participants from 36 different countries. \nHow You Can Take Part \nAll it takes to participate is the organising of a party with your neighbours. It could be in your own garden\, out in the street or in a local community hall. The idea is to get people together so that neighbours who rarely speak can talk to each other and have fun together. \nSupport is available from EFLS and there is even an award that housing associations\, organisers and mayors can put themselves forward for. A promotional video\, guide\, timetable and press kit is also provided for organisers needs.

SUMMARY:National Epilepsy Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:From May 24 to May 30\, National Epilepsy Week will be taking place to raise awareness for those affected by epilepsy\, what epilepsy is\, who’s affected and what can be done to help those who suffer from this condition. \nWhat is epilepsy? \nEpilepsy is a neurological condition that affects the brain and causes recurring seizures or fits in people. Due to an uncontrolled increase of excess electrical activity in the brain interfering with the normal functions\, this causes a short interruption to the relay of messages in the brain. \nWho’s affected? \nApproximately 500\,000 people in the England are diagnosed with epilepsy\, affecting people of all ages\, from newborns to the elderly. \nWhat can be done to help? \nLearning to recognise the symptoms of a seizure is a great place to start helping those affected\, as well as knowing what to do when a seizure occurs to minimise the harm done to both the person and those around them. You can also look into lobbying for more support for those affected by epilepsy\, so they can get the treatment and care they deserve. \nAll in all\, epilepsy is a condition affecting more people than you might think\, and by knowing the early warning signs and what to do when a seizure occurs can make a big difference helping those affected by the chronic condition.

SUMMARY:World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development 2023
DESCRIPTION:Three-quarters of the world’s major conflicts have a cultural dimension. Bridging the gap between cultures is urgent and necessary for peace\, stability and development. \nCultural diversity is a driving force of development\, not only with respect to economic growth\, but also as a means of leading a more fulfilling intellectual\, emotional\, moral and spiritual life. This is captured in the seven culture conventions\, which provide a solid basis for the promotion of cultural diversity. Cultural diversity is thus an asset that is indispensable for poverty reduction and the achievement of sustainable development. \nAt the same time\, acceptance and recognition of cultural diversity in particular through innovative use of media and Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) are conducive to dialogue among civilizations and cultures\, respect and mutual understanding. \nIn 2001\, UNESCO adopted the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity and in December 2002\, the UN General Assembly\, in its resolution 57/249\, declared May 21 to be the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development. \nThe day provides us with an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to advance the four goals of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions adopted on 20 October 2005: \nSupport sustainable systems of governance for culture \nAchieve a balanced flow of cultural goods and services and increase mobility of artists and cultural professionals \nIntegrate culture in sustainable development frameworks \nPromote human rights and fundamental freedoms

With few existing treatments\, it’s social care not the NHS that people affected by dementia rely on. People with dementia represent the majority of social care users\, so it is vital that the care system is made fit for purpose. \nA new system we can be proud of \nWe need system that means every person living with dementia\, and every carer\, can get the support they need to stay happy\, healthy and independent for as long as possible. This means quality care that is right for them\, free and easy to get\, no matter where you live – like the NHS. \nThe time has come to set right decades of unfairness and underinvestment and for Governments to create a legacy to be admired. \nAlzheimer’s Society won’t stop until everyone can access the dementia care they so critically need\, now and in the future.

SUMMARY:National Stationery Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:If you think this is a celebration of not moving\, then your spelling needs a bit of work National Stationery Week is all about cheerleading the act of writing by hand\, and encouraging people from all around the globe to share details of their favourite pens\, pencils\, sharpeners\, and whatever fills their pencil cases. If they have one. It’s certainly an odd get-together\, but one that may be taking advantage of a shift in trends that may force people to abandon the venture of handwriting altogether. \nIn a world where people like us are typing this on a keyboard instead of writing it by hand\, it might be quite a good initiative; for all we know\, handwriting may be a trade as dead as lamp-lighting\, town crying or door-to-door sales. So\, get your Staedtler Noris school pencils\, your Helix 30cm rulers and your Bic for Her range of comfortable\, female-friendly medium ballpoint pens\, and go wild for a week.

SUMMARY:World Salt Awareness Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:Salt Awareness Week will take place slightly later from the 15th – 21st May in 2023. \nEach year Action on Salt organise a national ‘Salt Awareness Week’ and an international ‘World Salt Awareness Week’ to help raise awareness of the damaging effect of too much salt to our health. \nThe annual campaign is our chance to talk directly to the general public\, shining a light on the hidden salt in our favourite food products and encouraging those who don’t want their food\, and their children’s food\, laden with unnecessary salt to take action. We produce posters\, leaflets and factsheets\, which are then made available for order by hospitals\, GP surgeries\, health charities\, schools\, universities and anyone with an interest in salt\, food or health! These resources are intended for local community events during the week\, or for display year round in pharmacies and GP surgeries\, helping our salt reduction messages reach a wide range of people. Last year there were more than 300 supporting events up and down the country. \nFor many years\, our annual Salt Awareness Week campaign has been scheduled according to the UK policy calendar in March. We’re pleased to announce that the campaign will now take place in the third week of May – every year! \nThis new and consistent date allows supporters in the UK and internationally to plan their own activities to mark the awareness week ahead of time.  We look forward to working with you to get salt reduction onto the global agenda\, stay tuned for more information on the theme and resources for the week. \nHeart attacks and strokes are the biggest causes of death and disability in the UK\, with two people suffering from these often-debilitating conditions every 5 minutes. The strain this is having\, not only on the individual and their families\, but on our struggling NHS cannot be ignored.   \nMost cases are entirely preventable\, and so it’s vital we all take measures to improve our health and prevent these events from happening in the first place. It’s a little-known fact that eating less salt is one of the quickest and most effective ways of improving our health\, with just 1 less ‘pinch’ a day preventing over 4\,000 heart attacks and strokes every year in the UK. But how can we cut back on our salt\, when everything we buy is full of it?   \nFrom sliced bread to biscuits\, Friday night takeaways to ‘healthy’ salads\, everything has added salt. In fact\, three quarters of the salt we eat is already in the foods we buy\, and it’s impossible to take it out once it’s been added in.   \nJoin us as we call on food companies to Ditch the Salt for the sake of our hearts  \nIf you would like to be involved this year\, whether you are a food business\, a charity\, a community organisation\, a politician\, a school\, or a libertarian think tank\, we would love to hear from you!  \nPlease get in touch: cash@qmul.ac.uk   \nSupport our campaign and join the conversation on Twitter: #SaltAwarenessWeek

SUMMARY:Water Saving Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:The UK has less available water per person than most other European countries. London is drier than Istanbul\, and the South East of England has less water available per person than some African countries. \nSurprised? Climate change\, population increases and changes in lifestyle have led to increasing pressure being put on our water supplies. The expected increase in world population up to 10 billion people will decline the available freshwater resources by half in 2050. \nAs a result\, it is more important than ever that we take care with how we use water. Taking positive action now can help to ensure that there is enough water to go around\, for us\, for businesses and for the environment. \nSave Money \nSaving water saves money. Installing simple devices such as water-efficient taps and showers will save both water and energy by minimising the use of heated water. An efficient showerhead could reduce household bills by up to £120 per year. Leaky loos waste around 400 litres of clean water a day – the equivalent of having an extra two people living in your house! \nClimate Change \nOur use of water and energy are closely linked. Operational emissions from the water industry account for nearly 1% of the UK’s total. And a major source of emissions is from using hot water within homes. Reducing the length of your shower or the amount of hot water you use for cleaning dishes therefore has a significant impact on your personal carbon footprint. Using water wisely also helps us adapt to climate change – it means the water we do have goes further. \nThe Environment \nUsing water efficiently means that we can minimise the amount of additional water resources being taken out of our rivers and aquifers\, especially as demand is rising. \nResilient Water Supplies \nAs water resources become scarcer\, building new infrastructure like reservoirs and desalination plants\, or finding new sources of supply\, becomes increasingly expensive. If we save water that is otherwise wasted\, we can reduce pressure on existing infrastructure and offset the need for more. Using water wisely also makes our supply more resilient against impacts from climate change\, such as droughts. \nReady to start saving?

SUMMARY:Mother's Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:The second Sunday in May is Mother’s Day in most countries. \nThis day is observed in many countries in Africa\, Europe\, Asia\, Australia and Americas\, but the tradition to celebrate the holiday is native to the USA. Although world-wide celebration of Mother’s Day is influenced by different traditions\, they are all common in origin. The very first Mother’s Day was celebrated in 1908 in the USA\, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial service to honor her mother. \nThen she started a campaign to establish Mother’s Day as a national holiday\, and later as international.The U.S Congress passed a law on May 8\, 1914\, that designated the second Sunday in May to be Mother’s Day. The holiday was proclaimed by President Woodrow Wilson on the next day as the holiday when all American citizens raised the flag in honor of the mothers\, whose sons had died in war. \nMother’s Day became very popular in other countries. The holiday includes churchgoing\, distribution of flowers (carnations are symbolic flowers) and family dinners. More than 80 countries around the world celebrate Mother’s Day according to the American traditions.

SUMMARY:National Mills Weekend 2023
DESCRIPTION:National Mills Weekend is the annual festival of our milling heritage and provides you with a fantastic opportunity to visit mills\, many of which are not usually open to the public. \nIn 2023 it will take place online on the 13th and 14th May and we hope even more mills than in previous years will open their doors and welcome visitors. \nUntil the advent of the steam engine\, wind and watermills provided the only source of power for many different processes – from making flour\, paper\, cloth to hammering metal and extracting oils. You can explore mills that produced\, or still produce these products\, some restored to working order\, some derelict\, some still working commercially. \nSearch for mills open in your area: \nTo find the mills open in your area\, search for your county in our Windmills and Watermills pages. Given the number of mills open\, we have divided the mills by their type – Windmills or Watermills. \nA new aid for visiting mills\, especially over National Mills Weekend. \nThose of you with Android on your phone can install a free app that means you can have the information from the website with you\, even when you are out and about\, quite possibly without an internet connection to contact the site. You can get it at: \nhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details \nThe app links with your other apps\, such as mapping to give you directions to the various mills\, and if you do have an internet connection\, you can use it to pull up more information about many of the mills from Windmill World and the Mills Archive. \nThe app will be updated as details of this year’s Mills Weekend are finalised at various mills.

SUMMARY:ME Awareness Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:ME Awareness Day The Birthday of Florence Nightingale \nM.E. Awareness Week was established by patient advocates and is focused on May 12th\, the birthday of Florence Nightingale\, who was believed to have suffered with M.E. \nFrom 1857 Nightingale found herself often disabled by poor health\, which some suggest may well have been Chronic Fatigue Syndrome(CFS).

SUMMARY:National Lost Sock Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:What is National Lost Sock Memorial Day?\nNational Lost Sock Memorial Day or NLSMD is A Special Day for Mourning All Your Lost Socks. \nOf course this is very much an unofficial holiday\, but why shouldn’t your lost socks be remembered. Let’s face it we’ve all got a pile of odd socks lurking in the back of the sock drawer. Some of us even like to make a big thing about wearing them. But does anyone know where all the other odd socks go? \nWho Decided There Should be a National Lost Sock Day?\nThere have been hours spent pondering the origin of this quirky celebration\, and so far nobody seems to know. But does it really matter who thought of the idea? It’s a great one whoever it was. \nWhen is National Lost sock Memorial Day?\nTaking place annually\, National Lost Sock Memorial Day falls on the 9th May. \nHow to Celebrate National Lost Sock Day\nThere are no tried and tested ways to celebrate and no recognised set of rules for the day. So why don’t we offer a few suggestions\, and you get to take it from there. \nThe best way to celebrate is by wearing a pair of odd socks in remembrance of the socks that are missing. \nPerhaps you could encourage the kids to go on a treasure hunt and see if they can find some of the socks that have disappeared. \nUniting long lost pairs would be the ultimate celebration. – If searching for them fails\, then perhaps it’s about time you found something else to do with the odd ones. Did you know they make great ties for in the garden? Make your kids some odd sock puppets. Odd socks also make great cleaning cloths and dusters. \nAt the end of the day\, take a few moments and give your lost socks a minutes silence in their honour. After all\, they made the ultimate sacrifice.

SUMMARY:Star Wars Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Since 2011 May the 4th has been known across Star Wars Fandom as Star Wars Day and was chosen due to the pun “May The Fourth be with You”. In fact Star Wars fans have bought into the celebration so much that a second date has since been created\, with May the 5th becoming known as “Revenge of The Fifth” \, a play on words from Episode III – Revenge Of The Sith\, where fans join the ‘Dark Side’ by celebrating the Sith Lords from the Star Wars series. \nAlthough Star Wars Day wasn’t created by George Lucas it has since been embraced by Lucasfilm as an annual celebration of the day\, with Disney – who purchased Lucasfilm and the rights to the Star Wars franchise in 2012\, also holding many events in celebration of May 4th. \nNever ones to be left out of a party we’ve popped a few interesting facts about the Star Wars franchise below in honour of the day.

SUMMARY:National Teen Self Esteem Month 2023
DESCRIPTION:May is National Teen Self Esteem Month and it’s a great opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of ensuring our teens are self aware and feel confident about themselves. The effect that their self esteem has on their physical and mental well being is of paramount importance and a crucial focus of the awareness month. \n The teenage years are a notoriously difficult time for the majority of young people and therefore this is a fantastic way of checking in and ensuring we are doing everything that we can to support and nurture the teens in our lives- be it family or friends. On top of the physical\, hormonal and emotional changes going on\, teens also have to contend with the added pressures of social changes\, new relationships\, increased educational expectations\, peer pressure and impossible societal standards perpetuated by the media\, society and often parents. \n Self esteem is often easily damaged and difficult to repair\, so with the added complication of being a teenager it is highly understandable that teenagers can be particularly fragile. \n There are many ways that we can engage more positively with teenagers and the character of the individual young person may respond more effectively to particular expertise and knowledge\, however there are some really simple ways in which we can promote positive self esteem. And these tips aren’t restricted to assisting only teenagers. Perhaps we could all make use of them: \n Lead by example \n Avoid negative self talk and criticism. \n Ensure you have open lines of communication – and if you don’t\, get advice on how to create this. \n Ensure you can be trusted \n Guide and advise encouraging their own decision making within reasonable parameters. \n Give them space \n Listen and take an interest in their developing lives. \n Many businesses and organisations seize the opportunity to support this awareness campaign in order to offer their services as a way of supporting teens. However it is not always necessary to engage with these businesses and organisations as sometimes just a chat and some special time with your teen is enough to encourage and strengthen their self esteem.

SUMMARY:Sun Awareness Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:The British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) currently runs a national campaign around skin cancer called Sun Awareness\, which includes National Sun Awareness Week in May. This campaign is overseen by the BAD’s Skin Cancer Prevention Committee\, comprised of leading medical professionals with expertise in skin cancer\, vitamin D and public health messaging. \nSun Awareness is the British Association of Dermatologists’ annual campaign to raise awareness of skin cancer. The campaign runs from April to September annually and includes Sun Awareness Week in May. The campaign is two-pronged and combines prevention and detection advice. The first aim is to encourage people to regularly self-examine for skin cancer. The second is to teach people about the dangers of sunburn and excessive tanning\, and to discourage people from using sun beds\, in light of the associated risks of skin cancer. In addition to public education about the dangers of sun bed use\, the BAD has also been involved in campaigning for legislation to regulate the sun bed industry and is continuing to push towards further and improved regulation. \nThis year’s Sun Awareness Week will be held from the 1st -7th May 2023. \nIt’s quite easy to be safe when playing outside\, with the simplest and most important thing to do being putting on sun screen. Make sure you put on a hat\, or cover your skin. It’s the easy things like this that save your skin from harmful and painful damage caused by the sun when over-exposed. \nWhat damage can the sun cause? \nOver-exposure to the sun’s rays can cause serious damage to your body\, with two common types of cancers. One being non-melanoma\, and melanoma\, which is by far the most dangerous and deadly skin cancer. This simple reason is enough to look after your skin and stay in the shade and be safe in the sun. \nWho is affected? \nEveryone is affected by damage to the skin from the sun\, in fact last year\, 35% of people in the UK were burnt at least once\, with 28% of those being burnt more than three times during the year. \nSo this year\, remember to wear sunscreen\, wear a t-shirt\, stay in the shade and during Sun Awareness Week spread the word of sun safety and the dangers of over exposure!

SUMMARY:International Jazz Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:International Jazz Day is an International Day declared by the United Nations Educational\, Scientific and Cultural Organisation in 2011 “to highlight jazz and its diplomatic role of uniting people in all corners of the globe.” It is celebrated annually on April 30. The brainchild of jazz pianist and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Herbie Hancock\, Jazz Day is chaired by Hancock along with the sitting UNESCO Director-General.

SUMMARY:International Dance Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:UNESCO has a habit of reserving 24 hours for everything in the field of performing arts\, so it’s perhaps no surprise that there’s an annual International Dance Day. It has been earmarked as a celebration for anyone who attaches value and importance to dance\, and acts as a wake-up-call for governments\, politicians and institutions which have not yet recognised its value. \nWhile this sounds just a little bit overboard\, you’d be surprised at how many places frown upon or outright ban the act of dancing. Even in the US\, strict Southern Baptists don’t dance\, and this led to the famous hard work of Chicago teen Ren McCormack\, who proved them wrong and overcame the community through the medium of dance in the hard-hitting 1984 documentary Footloose.

The first event was held on April 22\, 1993. Schools across the United States were provided with literature and other materials for incorporating career exploration in their curricula on the day before or after Take Our Daughters to Work Day. \nIn 2003\, the program was expanded to include boys. However\, most companies that took part in the program had allowed both girls and boys to participate since the beginning. This change allowed both girls and boys to explore careers\, contributing to fighting with gender stereotypes. \nIn 2007\, the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day program became its own separate foundation. It is no longer organized by the Ms. Foundation for Women\, although Gloria Steinem (one of the Foundation’s founders) is a member of the program’s board of directors. \nOn the fourth Thursday in April\, many employees across the USA invite their children to work. The program also encourages them to invite children from shelters and residential programs.

SUMMARY:Parental Alienation Awareness Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:April 25 is Parental Alienation Awareness Day (PAAD) in the USA\, Canada and Bermuda. \nThis awareness day was created as a part of global awareness campaign about parental alienation. Parental alienation is described ” a behavior by a parent\, or an adult a child trusts\, such as a grandmother/father\, aunt\, uncle\, etc.\, whether conscious or unconscious\, that could create alienation in the relationship between a child and a parent.” \nAlso known as Hostile Aggressive Parenting\, the behaviour displayed can be mild and temporary but also extreme and ongoing. Obvioulsy any kind of behavior that is displayed as a result of parental alienation can be damaging upon a child and could have potentially life long consequences should the behaviour of both carer and child not be recognised and effectively addressed. \nNot to be confused with Parental Alienation Syndrome which relates to the behaviour of the child\, Parental Alienation focuses on the adults behaviour. \nParental Alienation Awareness Day recognised on April 25th aims to highlight to care givers the effects that PA could have on children and educate adults in order to identify signs that either they or others are behaving in a manner that could affect the children in their care. Parental Alienation usually involves one care giver attempting to turn a child against another often with a view to persuade the child that they wish to exclude the other parent from their life permanently. Typical types of behaviour displayed by parents can include: \nconstantly badmouthing/ belittling the other;\nlimiting the other’s contact;\nforbidding the child from discussing the other parent;\ncreating the impression that the other parent dislikes or does not love the child; or\ntrying to force the child to reject the parent to make the former partner a former parent as well. \nThe idea of PAAD belongs to Sarvy Emo from Canada. Emo introduced the observance of the day in the late 2005 with the original date on March 28. This date was changed to April 25 for marketing reasons and was put into practice in 2006. \nWith awareness comes education\, and with education\, comes the power to stop the mental and emotional abuse of children.-Sarvy Emo \nTo find out more about this awareness day\, visit one of the many dedicated websites aimed at raising awareness of the behaviours that could have a long lasting effect on our kids.

SUMMARY:World Book Night 2023
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve never found a book you’ve liked\, there’s a good chance that you’ve not tried that many books and World Book Night is here to prove to both children and adults that there are plenty of opportunities to get lost in a good book. Every year\, the occasion is coordinated by the Reading Agency\, a national charity that aims to help people become confident and enthusiastic readers. \nWorld Book Night celebrates both reading and books every year on April 23rd\, when books are distributed throughout the UK to specifically\, but not exclusively\, reach those who don’t often get the opportunity to read – hospitals\, prisons\, homeless shelters and care homes are a particular focus. Those who love a good book are asked to give out their own books to similarly affected people in their own communities or the wider UK. \nFor the past 6 years World Book Night has also been celebrated in the USA as well as the UK and Ireland\, with almost 50\,000 people giving away a million books across the three different countries.

SUMMARY:International Dark-Sky Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:Join the International Dark-Sky Association for seven days of celebration\, learning\, and action! \n2023 International Dark Sky Week is\, April 15 – 22nd! \nCreated in 2003 by high-school student Jennifer Barlow\, International Dark Sky Week has grown to become a worldwide event and a key component of Global Astronomy Month. Each year it is held in April around Astronomy Day. \nIn explaining why she started the week\, Barlow said\, I want people to be able to see the wonder of the night sky without the effects of light pollution. The universe is our view into our past and our vision into the future. I want to help preserve its wonder. \nInternational Dark Sky Week draws attention to the problems associated with light pollution and promotes simple solutions available to mitigate it. \nAlso read 5 Ways to Celebrate Dark Sky Week! \nLight Pollution Matters \nThe nighttime environment is a crucial natural resource for all life on Earth\, but the glow of uncontrolled outdoor lighting has hidden the stars\, radically changing the nighttime environment. \nBefore the advent of electric light in the 20th century\, our ancestors experienced a night sky brimming with stars that inspired science\, religion\, philosophy\, art and literature including some of Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets. \nThe common heritage of a natural night sky is rapidly becoming unknown to the newest generations. In fact\, millions of children across the globe will never see the Milky Way from their own homes. \nWe are only just beginning to understand the negative repercussions of losing this natural resource. A growing body of research suggests that the loss of the natural nighttime environment is causing serious harm to human health and the environment. \nFor nocturnal animals in particular\, the introduction of artificial light at night could very well be the most devastating change humans have made to their environment. Light pollution also has deleterious effects on other organisms such as migrating birds\, sea turtle hatchlings\, and insects. \nHumans are not immune to the negative effects of light in their nighttime spaces. Excessive exposure to artificial light at night\, particularly blue light\, has been linked to increased risks for obesity\, depression\, sleep disorders\, diabetes and breast cancer.

DESCRIPTION:World Parkinson’s Day takes place on 11 April every year to raise awareness of Parkinson’s. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiving with Parkinson’s is tougher than people think. But it doesn’t define you. You are still you. You can still do amazing things in spite of Parkinson’s. \nParkinson’s is different for everyone. Different symptoms\, different experiences. Diagnosis is scary and there’s currently no cure. Living with Parkinson’s can be challenging but one thing stands out. The Parkinson’s community is bright and brilliant. \nA community finding their light.\nEach of you will find your light in your individual ways. Maybe it’s trying to see the funny side. Fighting back against a condition that feels like it’s taking over your body. Finding new ways to keep doing the things you love. Or simply getting through a bad day\, and hoping tomorrow will be better. \nParkinson’s is different for everyone.\nParkinson’s is the fastest growing neurological condition in the world. Everyone has their own set of symptoms and deals with them in different ways. Everyone reacts differently to getting a diagnosis. Some people want to join a support group\, learn tai chi\, abseil down a building. Some people really don’t! \nHow can you get involved?\nThis World Parkinson’s Day\, we’re celebrating those moments of laughter and light that lift us up. That person who’s always there for you. A new challenge that you’ve faced head on and overcome\, or found a different way around. Sharing experiences with a community who get it\, because they’re going through it too. Not just on World Parkinson’s Day. But every day.

SUMMARY:National Siblings Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Siblings day\, usually held on the 10th of April is a holiday that celebrates siblings relationships. April 10th is fast approaching\, and you should probably be calling your siblings to hatch up a plan on how to spend the day. Siblings are an incredible gift from God and anyone who has a brother or sister should not let the day just pass by without celebrating them. \nUnfortunately\, siblings day is not recognized by federal governments and the day is therefore not necessarily a national holiday. That means you’ll have to wake up and get to work just like any other day. However\, that is not a reason not to celebrate it. You can always take time off your busy schedule and get together with your siblings for some quality time. \nAmerica has been proactive in trying to get the day recognized as a national holiday by federal governments. 49 states in the United States have been in the forefront pushing for this agenda. India and Australia have also made inroads in getting the day marked appropriately. \nThe siblings day organization has also made tremendous efforts to get this important holiday recognized. The holiday is an invention of one Claudia Evart\, who invented it in a bid to celebrate the lives of her sister and brother who had died while still young.It is not every day that we get to be with our siblings especially when we grow up. Get involved in the national siblings day and take time to appreciate your brother or sister. You can join the conversation about siblings day through the hashtag #NationalSiblingsDay

SUMMARY:Easter Sunday 2023
DESCRIPTION:The week before Easter is called Holy Week\, and it contains the days of the Easter Triduum\, including Maundy Thursday\, commemorating the Maundy and Last Supper\, as well as Good Friday\, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus. In western Christianity\, Eastertide\, the Easter Season\, begins on Easter Sunday and lasts seven weeks\, ending with the coming of the fiftieth day\, Pentecost Sunday. In Orthodoxy\, the season of Pascha begins on Pascha and ends with the coming of the fortieth day\, the Feast of the Ascension. \nEaster and the holidays that are related to it are moveable feasts in that they do not fall on a fixed date in the Gregorian or Juliancalendars which follow only the cycle of the sun; rather\, its date is determined on a lunisolar calendar similar to the Hebrew calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established two rules\, independence of the Jewish calendar and worldwide uniformity\, which were the only rules for Easter explicitly laid down by the council. No details for the computation were specified; these were worked out in practice\, a process that took centuries and generated a number of controversies. It has come to be the first Sunday after the full moon that occurs on or soonest after 21 March\, but calculations vary in East and West. Details of this complicated computation are found below in the section Date. \nEaster is linked to the Jewish Passover by much of its symbolism\, as well as by its position in the calendar. In many languages\, the words for “Easter” and “Passover” are identical or very similar. Easter customs vary across the Christian world\, and includesunrise services\, exclaiming the Paschal greeting\, clipping the church\, and decorating Easter eggs\, a symbol of the empty tomb. The Easter lily\, a symbol of the resurrection\, traditionally decorates the chancel area of churches on this day and for the rest of Eastertide. Additional customs that have become associated with Easter and are observed by both Christians and some non-Christians include egg hunting\, the Easter Bunny\, and Easter parades. There are also various traditionalEaster foods that vary regionally.

SUMMARY:Good Friday 2023
DESCRIPTION:Good Friday is a Christian religious holiday commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. The holiday is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday\, and may coincide with the Jewish observance of Passover. It is also known as Holy Friday\, Great Friday\, Black Friday\, or Easter Friday\, though the last term properly refers to the Friday in Easter week. \nGood Friday is a widely-instituted legal holiday in many national governments around the world\, including in most Western countries(especially among Anglican and Catholic nations) as well as in 12 U.S. states. Some governments\, such as Germany\, have laws prohibiting certain acts\, such as dancing and horse racing\, that are seen as profaning the solemn nature of the day

SUMMARY:Education and Sharing Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:What is Education and Sharing Day 2019 and when is it?\nFounded by President Jimmy Carter in 1978\, Education and Sharing Day 2023 is on April 12th\, and is an annual USA day of observance. \nEducation and Sharing Day was founded in honour of\, and on the 80th Birthday of\, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson\, commonly known as ‘The Rebbe’\, who was considered to be one of the greatest 20th Century spiritual leaders. \nEducation and Sharing Day falls on the 11th of the Jewish month of Nissan each year\, and as the Jewish and Gregorian Calendars are different and don’t synchronize\, the date of Education and Sharing Day on the Western Calendar is different each year\, but it is usually during March or April. \nEducation and Sharing Day honours the Rabbi’s commitment to improving Judaism and mankind through culture and education\, especially by founding centres for culture\, education and socialisation for young Jewish people. These centres are known as Chabad Houses\, and are mainly located on or near university campuses. Chabad houses are still going strong and providing community and culture for Jewish Students. \nBut Shneerson’s work wasn’t limited to Jewish youth\, he made a significant contribution to the education and betterment of the population in general. And that is also honoured on Education and Sharing Day. \nEducation and Sharing Day is marked by events and parades\, some parades are quite big and well known\, for example the parade in Crown Heights\, Brooklyn\, New York\, which is run by Tzivos Hashem (Jewish Child International).

The Board decides on a theme for the event in addition to an author from that country writing a personal message to the children of the world to inspire them to read.

SUMMARY:Stress Awareness Month 2023
DESCRIPTION:What is Stress Awareness Month?\nStress and poor mental health are one of the biggest public health challenges that we’re facing. Sadly\, even though that is the case\, we are still not taking its impact seriously enough. We continue to separate mental health from physical health and vice versa. The reality is they cannot be separate – they are two sides of the same coin. There is no health without mental health and stress can lead to numerous health problems. From physical problems\, like heart disease\, insomnia\, digestive issues\, immune system challenges\, etc to more serious mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression. \nStress Awareness Month has been held every April since 1992 to raise awareness of the causes and cures for our modern-day stress epidemic. It is the time when we have an opportunity for an open conversation on the impact of stress. Dedicated time to removing the guilt\, shame\, and stigma around mental health. To talk about stress\, and its effects and open up about our mental and emotional state with friends\, families\, colleagues\, and professionals. \nDuring this annual thirty day period\, health care professionals and health promotion experts across the country will join forces to increase public awareness about both the causes and cures for our modern stress epidemic. \nWhen is Stress Awareness Month 2023?\nStress Awareness Month takes place annually  throughout the whole of April and there are a number of different ways for you to make a change this Stress Awareness Month or help to get the message out. \nHow to get involved this Stress Awareness Month\nThe Stress Management Society have commemorated Stress Awareness Month this year by asking you to take the 30 Day Challenge. \nIf you haven’t yet join our 30 Day Challenge for April. We are encouraging you to pick one action each for your Physical\, Mental and Emotional Wellbeing to carry out every day. \nIt takes 30 days to turn actions into habits\, which is why this is a month-long programme.  The 30-day challenge will maximise your chances of turning useful knowledge and techniques into positive behavioural change. \nClick below to gain the access to our free resources specifically created for the month of April. You can download the 30 Day Challenge\, a Daily De-Stressing Planner\, a Stress Guide\, 7 Steps Achievement Plan\, useful infographics on stress and much more! \nWhat else could you do for Stress Awareness Month?\n\nTalk about Stress and it’s effects – lets work together to reduce the stigma that is associated with stress by talking about the topic openly and freely with friends\, family and colleagues.\nShare your coping mechanisms – if something has worked for you why not share it. It might benefit someone you care about and in the meantime\, it might help you take your focus off your own challenges.\nBe nice to those who are stressed and anxious – we are all undoubtedly going to experience stress and anxiety in our lifetime so treat others going through it with compassion and empathy.\nLook after yourself – we all need to think more about self–care. Take time out of your day to relax or do something that you enjoy. Don’t forget to exercise and eat well\, even when you feel too stressed.\n\nThe most crucial thing you can do when you are stressed or anxious is to make sure you are continuing to look after yourself. Make time to relax when you need to and learn to say no to requests that are too much for you.

SUMMARY:Bowel Cancer Awareness Month 2023
DESCRIPTION:April’s Bowel Cancer Awareness Month is a fantastic annual event set aside to increase awareness of bowel cancer and raise funds towards treating this condition. It is driven by various charitable organisations including the Beating Bowel Cancer and Bowel Cancer UK\, who have merged with the main aim of ensuring that there would be no victim of Bowel Cancer by 2050. \nJust to mention\, Bowel Cancer is the UK’s second biggest killer cancer. This shouldn’t be the case since it is treatable and curable\, especially when diagnosed at an early stage. Early diagnosis for Bowel Cancer and any other type of cancer saves lives. This is the reason why April has been set aside to educate the public and raise awareness of Bowel Cancer symptoms. \nSome of the common symptoms of bowel cancer include: \n\nBleeding from the bottom and blood in poo\nPersistent and unexplained change in bowel habit\nSudden and unexplained weight loss\nBeing easily fatigued with no obvious reason or cause\nPain or a lump in the tummy\n\nHow to be involved; \nYou can get involved in this campaign through various ways. The first way is for you as an individual to learn about the symptoms of bowel cancer. This will be the starting point\, from which you can spread the word. If you have suffered from this condition before\, you can also share your story to help encourage support those facing bowel cancers. \nThe other way is by making donations for research and lifesaving works aimed at stopping bowel cancer.

SUMMARY:World Bipolar Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Each year World Bipolar Day takes place on March 30 and this year members of the public across the globe are being encouraged to use social media to help disseminate information and get the event’s hashtags trending on social media. \nWorld Bipolar Day is designed to raise awareness worldwide of bipolar conditions and to work to eliminate social stigma whilst providing information to educate and help people understand the condition. \nBipolar disorder affects a person’s mood\, which can swing from one extreme to the other\, with someone suffering from the disorder having episodes of depression or mania. People living with bipolar disorder\, also known as manic-depressive illness\, tend to have their lives significantly disrupted as it can impact on a person’s ability to function. There are however several medications that can help to treat it. \nThe awareness day is an initiative organised by the International Bipolar Foundation in partnership with the Asian Network of Bipolar Disorder and the International Society for Bipolar Disorders. \nFor those using social media to post videos and photographs to help raise awareness of bipolar disorder\, you are encouraged to use the hashtags #WorldBipolarDay and #BipolarStrong whilst tagging @intlbipolar on Twitter and Instagram and @InternationalBipolarFoundation on Facebook.

SUMMARY:Purple Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Originating in Canada\, Purple Day was invented by the incredible Cassidy Megan\, a young girl who created the initiative in 2008 after getting motivated by the struggles she had with epilepsy. It’s a simple affair: you’re encouraged to wear purple and raise awareness for the cause! \nOriginally\, the initiative started out on a small level; Cassidy’s idea was picked up\, and then supported\, by the Epilepsy Association of Nova Scotia in 2008. Since then\, it has taken on a whole new level\, and in the UK alone\, it’s backed by no fewer than eight charities. \nPurple Day – international epilepsy day – returns on Thursday 26 March 2023. \nDid you know that 87 people are diagnosed with epilepsy every day? \nEpilepsy can affect anyone\, anytime\, anyplace and can change lives in a moment. \nTo help raise funds and awareness tell us what your purple moment will be this Purple Day. It could be a purple cake bake\, purple plod\, purple plunge\, purple dress down\, purple hair day or turn your school\, town or office purple. \nDownload your FREE fundraising pack today. For more ideas and fundraising materials including balloons\, banners and t-shirts email fundraising@youngepilepsy.org.uk today or call 01342 831245.

SUMMARY:World TB Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:World TB Day\, which is observed on 24 March every year\, is designed to raise public awareness regarding the epidemic of TB (tuberculosis) and efforts of eliminating the disease. In the year 2012\, a total of 8.6 million people were sick with TB; 1.3 million people died from the infectious disease\, these were mostly people in the Third World. The World TB Day is one of the 8 official campaigns for global public health marked by WHO (World Health Organization). \nThe day celebrates the day in the year 1882 when Dr Robert Koch shocked the scientific community by making an announcement to a small scientist group that he had discovered tuberculosis cause\, the TB bacillus. During the announcement by Koch in Berlin\, tuberculosis was raging through the Americas and Europe. In every seven people that died\, one of them had died because of TB. The discovery of Koch paved the way toward diagnosing as well as curing tuberculosis. \nBill Clinton\, the former U.S president\, marked World TB Day in 2000\, by administering the DOTS (Directly Observed Therapy\, Short-Course) recommended by WHO to patients at the Hyderabad\, India-based Mahavir Hospital. Clinton stated that these are economic calamities\, human tragedies\, and much more than crises for anyone\, they’re crises for the whole world. The spread of TB is a worldwide problem and no nation is immune. \nToday\, a network of organisations\, the Stop TB Partnership and nations fighting tuberculosis organises the World TB Day to highlight the disease scope and how it can be prevented and cured.

SUMMARY:National Skipping Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:National Skipping Day will take place on Friday 24th March 2023 this year and is organised by Skipping Workshops. \nOver the years we have received a great deal of feedback from schools and it seems that participating schools fall into two groups: the first are those schools who promote playground skipping on a regular basis throughout the school year and see NSD as a means of celebrating this commitment . By contrast\, some schools don’t promote skipping throughout the school year but are happy to take part in NSD as a ‘one-off’ celebration of healthy exercise through skipping. The 2023 event is definitely of more interest to the first group (although we hope all schools will consider taking part.) \nFor schools taking part in the 2023 NSD we have developed a graded scheme of skills\, starting with challenges for Nursery and YR children moving forward to skills for children in Y5 & Y6 who have shown a commitment to developing skipping skills. There are 6 levels in all\, starting with ‘basic’ (for the youngest children) moving through to Level 5. For those children who complete the tasks in each level we have a certificate which we hope schools will present to those children who qualify. For each level we will send participating schools detailed staff notes to explain the various challenges. \nIf you register for NSD 2023 we will send you details of the skills involved in the basic level as well as Levels 1 & 2 plus a copy of the different certificates for each level. \nIf you feel able to host an all-day-skip visit from Skipping Workshops between now and the end of the academic year Book a visit with us and you will also receive a free set of double dutch ropes and a 7m long rope for your school.

SUMMARY:International Day of Forests 2023
DESCRIPTION:Forests are part of your life in more ways than you realize \nWhen we drink a glass of water\, write in a notebook\, take medicine for a fever or build a house\, we do not always make the connection with forests. And yet\, these and many other aspects of our lives are linked to forests in one way or another. Forests\, their sustainable management and use of resources\, including in fragile ecosystems\, are key to combating climate change\, and to contributing to the prosperity and well-being of current and future generations. Forests also play a crucial role in poverty alleviation and in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \nForests and Education – Learn to Love Forests \nEvery 21 March the United Nations raises awareness of the importance of all types of forests. This year the International Day of Forests promotes education to Learn to Love Forests. It underscores the importance of education at all levels in achieving sustainable forest management and biodiversity conservation. Healthy forests mean healthy\, resilient communities and prosperous economies.

SUMMARY:St Patricks Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:What is St. Patrick’s Day?\nSt. Patrick’s Day is a cultural and religious celebration that honors the patron saint of Ireland\, St. Patrick. The day is widely celebrated in Ireland and by Irish communities around the world. It is a day to celebrate Irish heritage and culture\, and is known for its festivities\, parades\, and green-themed events. \nWhen is St. Patrick’s Day?\nSt. Patrick’s Day is celebrated annually on March 17th. In 2023\, the event will fall on a Friday\, providing the perfect opportunity to kick off the weekend with some Irish-inspired celebrations. \nHow to get involved\nHere are some ways to get involved in St. Patrick’s Day celebrations: \n\nAttend a parade: Many cities around the world host St. Patrick’s Day parades\, featuring colorful floats\, marching bands\, and performances by Irish dancers. Check your local events calendar to see if there is a parade in your area.\nDress up in green: On St. Patrick’s Day\, it’s traditional to wear green clothing or accessories\, which represents the lush green landscape of Ireland. Whether you wear a green shirt or a full leprechaun costume\, getting into the spirit of the day is a fun way to celebrate.\nEnjoy Irish food and drink: St. Patrick’s Day is a great opportunity to indulge in some classic Irish dishes\, such as corned beef and cabbage\, Irish stew\, and soda bread. Don’t forget to wash it down with a pint of Guinness or a glass of Irish whiskey.\nListen to Irish music: From traditional folk songs to modern pop hits\, Irish music is a key part of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Tune into a local radio station or create your own Irish-themed playlist to get in the mood.\nLearn about Irish culture: St. Patrick’s Day is a great opportunity to learn more about Irish history\, culture\, and traditions.

St. Patrick was a Christian missionary who lived in the 5th century and is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland. He is also associated with driving the snakes out of Ireland\, although this is likely a metaphor for his work in converting the Irish people to Christianity. \nSt. Patrick’s Day was originally a religious holiday that was celebrated in Ireland as a day of feast and remembrance for St. Patrick. It was first made an official public holiday in Ireland in 1903\, and the day was marked by religious services and family gatherings. \nOver time\, St. Patrick’s Day became a more secular holiday\, and it spread beyond Ireland to become a global celebration of Irish culture and heritage. In the United States\, the first St. Patrick’s Day parade was held in New York City in 1762\, and today\, the holiday is celebrated with parades\, green-themed events\, and festivities in cities around the world. \nIn Ireland\, St. Patrick’s Day is still celebrated as a public holiday\, with parades and other events taking place in cities and towns across the country. The holiday has also become a major tourist attraction\, with visitors flocking to Ireland to experience the celebrations and learn about Irish culture and history. \nToday\, St. Patrick’s Day is a day to celebrate all things Irish\, from traditional music and dance to food and drink. It is a day to honor the contributions of Irish immigrants to communities around the world and to showcase the unique and vibrant culture of Ireland.

SUMMARY:Young Carers Action Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Each year Carers Trust organises Young Carers Awareness Day. \nThe purpose of the day is to raise public awareness of the challenges faced by young people because of their caring role\, and to campaign for greater support for young carers and their needs. \nWhen Carers Trust set up Young Carers Awareness Day our intention was to make the public much more aware of young carers – who they are\, what they do\, the very real challenges they face\, and why they need support. \nAnd over the years\, we’ve had some great successes\, using the media and social media to really shine a spotlight on young carers. \nBut as Young Carers Awareness Day has got bigger each year\, we’ve also realised there are things we can do to make it better. And many young carers themselves have told us how they think the day could be improved. \nWe wanted to use that feedback from young carers and people working with young carers to make the day even better. So this year we are making some changes based on the feedback we have received. These changes are explained below. \nWe hope you agree these will make the day even better in 2023\, and help create real change for young carers and the support they receive! \nWe are changing the name! \nOne of the things we are always hearing from young carers is that what they want is support\, not sympathy. \nThis got us thinking. Yes\, it’s great to raise public awareness of young carers and what they do. But we need to do more than just encourage public sympathy for young carers and everything they have to do at home. We need to use the day to get people to take action to support young carers. \nSo from 2021 onwards\, the name has been changed to Young Carers Action Day. \nWe will be working with a group of young carers to ensure Young Carers Action Day 2023 features activities that will encourage real action and drive positive change for young carers. \nYoung Carers Action Day 2023 will take place on 15 March 2023. \nWe are including young adult carers \nUntil now\, the day has been for young carers up to the age of 18. \nBut one of the things our recent survey of young carers and young adult carers showed us is that young people aged 18 to 25 are experiencing many of the same challenges as younger carers. \nYoung adult carers need support too as they continue to balance their caring role with the difficult transition into early adulthood. So we will be planning activities and media coverage for this really important group of carers too! \nAnd we are working with young carers and young adult carers to plan Young Carers Action Day 2023 \nCarers Trust has set up a working group including young carers and young adult carers that is working actively to plan activities and media coverage for Young Carers Action Day 2023. With young carers at the heart of planning\, we will ensure that Young Carers Action Day 2023 delivers activities most likely to create positive change for young carers that addresses their needs. \nGot a question? \nWe realise that these are fairly significant changes and you may have questions. If there is something you’d like to ask\, or raise\, we’d love to hear from you! \nPlease feel free to get in touch with Vicky Morgan\, Head of Young Carers and Young Adult Carers. \nMedia enquiry? \nContact the Press team

SUMMARY:World Kidney Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:The World Kidney Day Team passionately believes it is important we make the general public aware of kidney diseases which affect millions of people worldwide\, including many children who may be at risk of kidney disease at an early age. It is therefore crucial that we encourage and facilitate education\, early detection and a healthy lifestyle in children\, starting at birth and continuing through to old age\, to combat the increase of preventable kidney damage including acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease and to treat children with inborn and acquired disorders of the kidney. \nSo let’s join forces once again to inform parents\, caregivers\, young patients\, policy makers and the general public of the importance of identifying and treating childhood kidney diseases\, instilling an awareness of the risks for their future from kidney damage that originates in childhood\, therefore building healthier future generations!

SUMMARY:International Women's Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:What is International Women’s Day?\nInternational Women’s Day is a global event that celebrates the social\, economic\, cultural\, and political achievements of women. It is also a day to highlight the ongoing struggle for gender equality and women’s rights around the world. \nWhen is International Women’s Day?\nInternational Women’s Day is celebrated annually on March 8th. \nThe history of the event\nInternational Women’s Day has a long and rich history that dates back to the early 1900s. In 1908\, 15\,000 women marched through the streets of New York City\, demanding better working conditions\, voting rights\, and an end to discrimination. This event inspired the first National Woman’s Day in the United States\, which was celebrated on February 28th\, 1909. \nThe idea of an international women’s day was proposed at the second International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen in 1910. Clara Zetkin\, a German socialist\, suggested the idea as a way to promote equal rights and suffrage for women worldwide. The proposal was unanimously accepted\, and the first International Women’s Day was celebrated the following year\, on March 19th\, 1911. \nSince then\, International Women’s Day has grown in significance and is now celebrated around the world. The day has become an important platform for women’s rights advocacy\, with campaigns and events focusing on issues such as violence against women\, access to education and healthcare\, equal pay\, and women’s representation in politics and leadership roles. \nJoin us on March 8th\, 2023\, as we celebrate the achievements of women and continue the fight for gender equality and women’s rights.

SUMMARY:Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 2023
DESCRIPTION:When a woman is diagnosed at the earliest stage\, her chance of surviving ovarian cancer for five years or more doubles from just 46 per cent to more than 90 per cent. \nHowever\, nearly half of GPs mistakenly believe symptoms only present in the later stages of the disease\, and less than a third of women in the UK are confident they know the symptoms. \nThis year\, tens of thousands of symptoms leaflets were read\, thousands of cakes were baked\, hundreds of outlandish outfits worn and more teapots brewed than we could count all with one aim in mind to get more women diagnosed at the earliest stage. Your fundraising means we will be able to do more to improve early diagnosis\, fund more life-saving research and provide much-needed support.

SUMMARY:Walk All Over Cancer 2023
DESCRIPTION:Walk All Over Cancer is a fundraising and activity challenge that occurs annually every March in aid of the charity Cancer Research UK. Participants are challenged to a sponsored walk of 10\,000 steps every day during the month\, and all proceeds from the fundraising are donated to the charity. \nCancer Research UK funds research into cancer treatment and prevention across the world\, working to develop new cancer drugs and provide the latest cancer information about cancer treatment and prevention to both health professionals and the public. \nParticipants can share details of their progress using the hashtag #walkallovercancer and walks can be either solo or walkers can challenge their friends and family to join them\, or even take part with local walking groups. The NHS recommends 10\,000 steps per day for optimum health\, however with increasingly sedentary lives\, many people do not reach this amount\, and so the challenge is an opportunity to improve your own health as well as raise money for a good cause. By taking 10\,000 steps per day\, walkers will achieve 150 miles by the end of the month. \nAnybody interested in getting involved in Walk All Over Cancer will find further resources including free printable materials and information on fundraising and tracking steps at www.cancerresearchuk.org.

SUMMARY:St David's Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:March kicks off in style with St David’s Day\, when Welsh people across the world but mainly in Wales\, naturally celebrate their fantastic heritage under the banner of their national saint. David’s greatest miracle was creating a hill under his feet where he spoke about God\, though otherwise\, he was quite a humble man\, to the point where he advocated that monks pulled the plough (and not cows)\, and only had bread and water as part of their diet. \nSo sure\, St David might not be seen in the same party atmosphere as St Patrick\, who somewhat steals his thunder with his own day later in the month\, but Glastonbury Abbey yes\, in that Glastonbury was founded by St David. But before you decide that the saint-based party night of the year ought to be moved out of fairness and respect\, St David refrained from drinking beer

SUMMARY:World Spay Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Nine of the UK’s animal welfare charities* have joined forces to promote World Spay Day 2023 to encourage cat owners to have their cats spayed. Spaying protects cats from getting pregnant – this is also known as neutering\, fixing or being done. \nRecent research has shown that 70% of litters in the UK are unplanned. \nOur advice is simple – have your cat spayed at four months to protect her from getting pregnant. \nMale cats should be neutered too\, to protect them catching diseases and getting nasty injuries from fighting – a male cat which hasn’t been neutered is much more likely to fight over a female mate. Neutering can also help to stop male cats from spraying indoors – which can be really smelly. He’s also more likely to stay close to home as a neutered male cat is less likely to stray. \nYou may be able to get help with the cost of having your cat neutered. \nTo take a look at the World Spay Day events near you\, click here \nWorld Spay Day is supported by: \nThe Blue Cross \nBattersea Dogs & Cats Home \nCats Protection \nCelia Hammond Animal Trust \nInternational Cat Care \nMayhew Animal Home \nPDSA \nRSPCA \nWood Green Animal Charity

SUMMARY:Fairtrade Fortnight 2023
DESCRIPTION:27 February to 12 March 2023 \nInformation about Fairtrade Fortnight 2023 will be coming soon. Sign up to emails to stay up to date. \nWHAT IS FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT \nFor two weeks each year at the end of February and start of March\, thousands of individuals\, companies and groups across the UK come together to share the stories of the people who grow our food and drinks and who grow the cotton in our clothes\, people who are often exploited and underpaid. \nIn 2019\, we launched our campaign calling on U.K. Government and companies to ensure cocoa farmers earn living incomes by 2030\, in line with the UN’s Global Goals to end poverty. During Fairtrade Fortnight 2020 we continued our campaign to raise awareness of the struggles of cocoa farming and to demand living incomes for cocoa farmers. \nA living income means enough money to live a simple but dignified life\, paying for essentials such as clothing\, medicine and school. We believe this is not a luxury but a human right. \nRead more about our Fight for Living Incomes campaign \nOnly Fairtrade is campaigning publicly for the right to a living income for farmers – men and women. Only Fairtrade Standards cover: \nPrice: The Fairtrade Premium and the Fairtrade Minimum Price are driving real change\, right now. The Fairtrade Minimum Price provides a safety net that protects farmers from low prices for their crops. \nPremium: Fairtrade farmers and workers choose how they spend the Fairtrade Premium\, which they can use to make their farms and communities stronger. It also allows them to invest in different ways of making money\, so that they are less reliant on the unpredictable cocoa market. Read more about the Fairtrade Premium \nWomen’s empowerment: Fairtrade is also supporting more women cocoa farmers to take the reins and stand tall alongside men. Fairtrade Standards make sure that they have a voice in their community\, are represented in decision-making and benefit from Fairtrade. We know that independent income in the hands of women brings positive change to communities even faster. \nEnvironment: While you can’t protect the planet without protecting its people first\, rigorous Fairtrade Standards support farmers to protect the environment and the Fairtrade Premium is enabling them to invest in climate resilience and adaptation. \nIn late 2019\, we travelled back to West Africa\, to meet some truly inspiring women who want their stories to be heard. This Fortnight we need your help to share their stories and show people in the UK why we need them to choose Fairtrade. \nGET INVOLVED \nDetails about Fairtrade Fortnight 2021 will be coming soon. In the meantime\, there are several ways to get involved with our campaign for living incomes: \n1. Sign up to emails to stay in touch and receive updates from Fairtrade \n2.

SUMMARY:Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:What is Eating disorders Awareness Week?\nEating Disorders Awareness Week is an international awareness event\, fighting the myths and misunderstandings that surround anorexia\, bulimia\, binge eating disorder and EDNOS. \nEating disorders are devastating mental illnesses that affect 1 in 50 people in the UK. \nRecovery is possible\, but we rely on our GPs to spot early warning signs that may have nothing to do with a person’s weight or appearance. Their role is crucial and their responsibility is huge\, but the average GP receives less than 2 hours of training on eating disorders throughout their entire medical degree\, which is just not good enough! This means that so often\, people with eating disorders don’t get the help they need because GPs just don’t have the right training to diagnose them. \nBeat are fighting for better access to treatment for people with eating disorders. They have developed clear and comprehensive courses for medical students\, which some schools have started to teach. The aim is to provide GPs with the proper training so that they can match the seriousness of these conditions and give people with eating disorders the best possible care. \nThis year Beat are focusing on highlighting their training program to help GPs make the right referrals for people with eating disorders. But their services are still there for those who need them right now. This EDAW Beat are asking for your help to be Bright and Bold so that they can make sure no one faces an eating disorder alone. \nWhen is Eating Disorders Awareness Week?\nEDAW 23 takes place from the 27th February and will run until the 5th March. \nHow to get involved in Eating Disorders Awareness Week.\nTo get involved in EDAW 23 Beat are asking you to: \nSpeak up \nWe’re asking supporters to share their own GP experiences to highlight the difference knowledge\, understanding and compassion can make! \nStep Up \nOur supporters’ fundraising activities and generous donations will amplify our campaign! \nSkill Up \nWe’re asking supporters to share our campaign for change – with the tools and the time to understand eating disorders\, our future GPs will be better equipped! \nFor more information visit Beat here or follow the campaign on social media using the hashtag #EDAW2023

SUMMARY:Tell a Fairy Tale Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Tell a Fairy Tale Day is an informal observance held on February 26. It provides a perfect opportunity to read fairy tales to your kinds and enjoy your favorite childhood tales yourself. \nA fairy tale is a short story that typically features fantasy characters and magic. Fairy tales usually take place once upon a time and have a happy ending: evil characters are punished and good characters live happily ever after. \nFairy tale collections are usually the first books read by children (not counting alphabet books\, of course). But children are introduced to fairy tales much earlier than they start to read\, because fairy tales are the most common type of bedtime story. \nEven if you don’t have children or your kids are not around\, you should not miss the opportunity to reacquaint yourself with fairy tales. It’s perfectly okay to read fairy tale books alone. Make a cup of hot chocolate\, curl up in a chair and immerse yourself in the world of princes and princesses\, evil witches and beautiful fairies\, dragons and unicorns\, talking animals and magical plants.

SUMMARY:Shrove Tuesday/Pancake Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Shrove Tuesday (known in some countries as Pancake Tuesday) is a day in February or March preceding Ash Wednesday (the first day of Lent)\, which is celebrated in some countries by consuming pancakes. In others\, especially those (including Louisiana) where it is called Mardi Gras or some translation thereof\, this is a carnival day\, and also the last day of fat eating or gorging before the fasting period of Lent. \nThis moveable festival is determined by Easter. The expression Shrove Tuesday comes from the word shrive\, meaning absolve. Shrove Tuesday is observed by many Christians\, including Anglicans\, Lutherans\,Methodists and Roman Catholics\,who make a special point of self-examination\, of considering what wrongs they need to repent\, and what amendments of life or areas of spiritual growth they especially need to ask God’s help in dealing with. \nBeing the last day before the penitential season of Lent\, related popular practices\, such as indulging in food that one sacrifices for the upcoming forty days\, are associated with Shrove Tuesday celebrations\, before commencing the fasting and religious obligations associated with Lent. The term Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday\, referring to the practice of the last night of eating richer\, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of theLenten season\, which begins on Ash Wednesday

SUMMARY:National Freedom to Marry in the USA Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:February 12 is National Freedom to Marry Day. This is an unofficial holiday\, but it is popular among same-sex couples. The holiday was founded and introduced by Lambda Legal in 1999. This law firm advocates rights of gay\, lesbian\, bisexual and transgender communities as well as people living with HIV/AIDS. \nThe most notable holiday was in 2004\, when the City and County of San Francisco began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. These changes were made by the mayor Ganiv Newsom\, who asked his clerk to change the forms and documents used to apply for and issue marriage licenses\, that would provide same-sex marriage on a non-discriminatory basis. \nThe Supreme Court of the United States has recognized the rights of same-sex couples to marry on June 26\, 2013. \nToday same-sex couples can marry in 33 states and in a few other jurisdictions and receive all the state-level benefits of their marriage. Some states offer civil unions\, that grant all or a part of state-level rights and responsibilities.

SUMMARY:Toothache Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:A bit of a weird one. Celebrated every year on the same date\, but who on earth would want to celebrate a toothache\, I hear you ask?! \n9th February marks the annual National Toothache Day. This seems to be a strange day to have\, as why would anyone want to celebrate a toothache? The purpose of the day is to raise awareness of dental issues and promote good oral health to avoid toothache. \nThere can be many different causes of toothache and for yourself it could be very difficult to be able to tell what has caused the issue. \nHere are some of the more common causes: \nFood stuck between the gums which can cause gum or tooth pain \nDental decay or a cavity \nTooth abscess or infection \nCracked tooth \nInfected gums \nTrauma – such as a knock to a tooth or an accident/fall \nOther illness such as a cold which gives tooth like pain \nSinusitis \nIf you are experiencing gum pain\, it is advised to throughly brush your teeth along with interdental cleaning with floss or an interdental brush to remove any food that may be stuck. Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water can help ease the pain. \nSometimes painkillers will be needed to help reduce pain. In the event of toothache\, it is advisable to seek advice from your dentist and more urgently if you are having severe pain that is constant and painkillers may not be controlling or if you notice a swelling of your face or the inside of your mouth that may be a sign of an infection.

SUMMARY:Schools Football Week 2023
DESCRIPTION:What is Schools’ Football Week?\n Let’s support even more pupils to enjoy the benefits of schools’ football \nSchools’ Football Week is an ongoing ESFA initiative designed as an opportunity for schools\, teams and clubs from across the country to embrace schools’ football and the wellbeing benefits it provides to pupils and players. It celebrates the importance of schools’ football\, competitive or otherwise\, to pupils across England and provides teachers and coaches with tools and a motivation to further discuss the benefits of schools’ football within their educational environment. \nThe 2022 SFW campaign saw us embrace the growing participation in girls’ football in schools – promoting the importance of equal access to schools’ football for both girls and boys. The campaign alone saw over 56\,000 girls benefitting from footballing opportunities across the 7th – 13th February. In this new season\, following the incredible journey of the Lionesses and continuing the trend the ESFA have seen over the last two years\, we’ve seen the highest number of girls’ entries into National Cup competitions\, with over 120 schools entering girls’ teams for the first time. We are going to continue in our pursuit to celebrate girls’ and all schools’ football in 2023. \n\nHow to get involved in School’s Football Week 2023?\n Inter-house or intra-school tournaments \nAny school can run an inter-house (or inter-form) or intra-school football tournament for boys and/or girls. This could be hosted at lunchtime\, after school or during PE lessons and yours could take any format that you wish. For example\, a group phase followed by a final\, or just a straight forward knockout competition. You could get other pupils involved by making banners to support teams or even writing supporter songs. Maybe you could host an all-girls tournament or encourage a record number of girls in your own school to take part in activity\, just like in our National Cups. \n Football formats  \nYou can choose to use whichever format of football best suits your requirements: 11-a-side\, 9-a-side\, 7-a-side\, 6-a-side\, indoor 5-a-side or even futsal if you have the facilities available. The objective of Schools’ Football Week is to get as many children playing or talking about football as possible and enjoying the game in a safe and secure environment\, regardless of their ability. Remember: children should only play in 2-year age bands in accordance with FA rules. \n Pupil activity for lunchtime…or any time \nThere are some other great examples of how you can introduce football into the school day for Schools’ Football Week 2023 – we’ve put a short list together for you below\, but maybe you have other ideas you’d like to try too – \n\nCoaching sessions for pupils\nPE warm-up sessions based on football drills\nCrossbar challenges (you could try pupils v teachers!)\nPenalty shootout games or competitions\nFreestyle football skills\n\nHow to Register for School’s Football Week 2023?\nWe have set up a link to register your school as taking part in Schools’ Football Week. In February 2022\, we registered over 142\,000 pupils taking part in activity\, plus over 57\,000 girls and over 800 schools – we hope to be able to push this even further in 2023. However big or small your participation will be\, it all counts\, it’s all valuable and it all matters. You are helping us to create something exciting and wonderful! \nClick here to register for SFW 2023 \n

SUMMARY:Time To Talk Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Too often\, people who experience a mental health problem are also expected to take the lead on talking about mental health in the wider sense. Time To Talk Day encourages everyone to talk about mental health. \nMental health problems affect one in four of us yet people are still afraid to talk about it. For people with mental health problems not being able to talk about it can be one of the worst parts of the illness. So by getting people talking about mental health we can break down stereotypes\, improve relationships\, aid recovery and take the stigma out of something that affects us all. \nSince Time To Talk Day first launched in 2014\, it has sparked millions of conversations in schools\, homes\, workplaces\, in the media and online. \nJoin the conversation – order a free resource pack today or check out the tips for talking about mental health \nConversations have the power to change lives – helping to create supportive communities where we can talk openly about mental health and feel empowered to seek help when we need it. However you start your conversation\, let us know on social media with #TimeToTalk. \nWant to keep up to date with our plans for Time To Talk Day 2023?

SUMMARY:Lung Leavin Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:The concept of Lung Leavin‚Day was created on February 2\, 2006 by Heather Avon St James. The awareness raising campaign was as a result of the 36 year old being diagnosed with mesothelioma. Sadly at the time Heather was given only 15 months to live. However Heather was determined to fight this deadly disease for the sake of her husband and daughter and insisted\, after much research and contact with a renowned Mesothelioma surgeon\, on the removal of her lung. On the day of her lung removal\, which ultimately proved to be her life-saving surgery\, her sister made a joke about it being Lung Leavin’ Day…and the name stuck. \nThe following year on the first anniversary\, Heather’s family created the tradition of writing their fears in marker on kitchen plates and throwing them into a huge bonfire outside\, symbolically smashing their deepest insecurities. \nLung leavin‚Day has grown over the years\, taking shape as a celebration of life\, and a fundraiser for mesothelioma and asbestos awareness. It has become a prominent day in the global mesothelioma community\, and amasses a large crowd at Heather’s home in Minnesota each year. To date over $37\,000 has been raised. \nTo get involved and show support for the fantastic achievement of Heather and all those that work in the field of mesothelioma and those affected\, visit the website dedicated to the cause.

SUMMARY:National Children's Dental Health Month 2023
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the American Dental Association in partnership with Crest and Oral B\, the month long awareness campaign aims to work with children\, caregivers\, teachers and other professionals to raise awareness of the benefits of good oral health care. \nMany of us take for granted the benefits of taking good care of our teeth however it is important that we inform children and reinforce the message regularly. \nTooth decay is the most common of chronic diseases amongst children and therefore there is obviously much more than we can do to promote good oral hygiene. \nIts hardly surprising that tooth decay is so prevalent amongst children if the daily battle to get the children in our household is anything to go by! That is why we think that this campaign is one to get involved with\, promote and learn from particularly in our children’s schools. Anything to make mornings and bedtimes run that little bit more smoothly! \nThe ADA have a vast amount of information on their website all aimed at educating and inspiring youngsters to enjoy cleaning their teeth and to help make it become a part of their daily routine. A theme is set each year with 2023’s theme due to be announced shortly.

SUMMARY:Dignity Action Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Dignity Action Day #DAD2023 is an annual opportunity for health and social care workers\, and members of the public to uphold people’s rights to dignity and provide a truly memorable day for people who use care services. \nDignity Action Day gives everyone the opportunity to contribute to upholding people’s rights to dignity and provide a truly memorable day for people receiving care. Dignity Action Day aims to ensure people who use care services are treated as individuals and are given choice\, control and a sense of purpose in their daily lives. \nDame Joan Bakewell\, Dignity in Care Ambassador said: \n“Dignity Action Day highlights a more respectful way of behaving towards vulnerable people. The very old and the very young clearly need our respect\, but it wouldn’t do any harm to spread the dignity message across the population then we can all benefit.” \nSupporting Dignity Action Day will: \nRaise awareness of the importance of Dignity in Care \nProvide someone with an extra special day \nDemonstrate that everybody in the community has a role to play in upholding Dignity in Care \nRemind the public that staff have a right to be treated with dignity and respect too \nProvide a great community networking opportunity. \nOn Dignity Action Day we ask health and social care workers to promote dignity in their place of work. We also asks members of the public to promote dignity for people in their communities. \nBelow is a flyer and resource packs with ideas for health and social care staff and members of the public as to how to take part in Dignity Action Day \nSee the Dignity Action Day Memory Book to give you further inspiration \nOnce you have decided what you are going to do you\, add your pledge or activity to the website to inspire and encourage others.

SUMMARY:National Bug Busting Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Why take part on Bug Busting Days? \nBecause informed\, united action stops head lice from circulating endlessly. Combing wet\, conditioned hair with a Bug Buster comb is a reliable detection method even when very few lice are present. Thoroughly wet lice stay still; dry or damp lice move quickly away from disturbance evading detection. \nBug Busting is an educational programme in reliable head louse detection. It delivers the ‘whole school approach’ (National Healthy School Standard).

Without them and their sterling work little or none of the many entertaining hours spent by audiences would have been known about. \nTo tellers all who have given time and made with their tale a timeless memory\, our grateful thanks for the gift given – and to those who heard and listened and walked away carrying that tale with them\, my hopes go out too to share the tale they heard. \nThe Society for Storytelling can be contacted all year round\, look to the venues and events. \nRemember everyone has at least one story to tell. It exists in the very air around you – Your story is the one you know best and as it is only the beginning\, the stories you will tell might begin with…Once upon a time or not in my time\, not in your time but in someone’s time… \nEnjoy! \nNational Storytelling Week 2023 will run from January 28th to February 5th. However\, don’t forget that the four day prior to and the four day’s after those dates\, they are part are still part of the festival of storytelling too. They are equally important as they are its fringes or preferably its “Coat Tales” \nso if you have a story to tell ~tell it and if you don’t find someone to tell you their’s.

SUMMARY:Australia Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Australia Day is celebrated on January 26 each year and commemorates the first landing in Australia by Captain Arthur Phillip. Although Australia Day officially takes place on the 26th January each year\, if the 26th happens to fall on a Saturday or Sunday\, celebrations actually then take place on the following Monday. \nMost Australians consider January 26 with national pride\, flying the Australian flag from businesses\, homes\, cars and even their babies. They attend festivals\, fireworks\, community and sporting events or gather for family barbecues at homes\, parks or on the beach. \nAustralia Day\, 26 January\, is the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet of 11 convict ships from Great Britain\, and the raising of the Union Jack at Sydney Cove by its commander Captain Arthur Phillip\, in 1788. \nThough 26 January marks this specific event\, today Australia Day celebrations reflect contemporary Australia: the diverse society and landscape and many remarkable achievements. It also is an opportunity to reflect on Australia’s national history. \nOn Australia Day\, over half of the nation’s population of 21 million attend either an organised community event\, or get together with family and friends with the intention of celebrating this national day. Many more spend the public holiday relaxing with family and friends. \nAustralia Day is much more than barbeques and fireworks. It is more than another public holiday. It is more than the pride and excitement of new citizens who call themselves Australian for the first time on 26 January after being conferred citizenship. \nAt its core\, Australia Day is a day driven by communities\, and the celebrations held in each town\, suburb or city ‚and unified by the celebration of what is great about Australia and being Australian.

SUMMARY:Chinese New Year 2023
DESCRIPTION:Chinese New Year\, also known as the “Spring Festival” (simplified Chinese: 春节; traditional Chinese: 春節; Pinyin: Chūn Jié) in modern China\, is an important Chinese festival celebrated at the turn of the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar. Celebrations traditionally run from the evening preceding the first day\, to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first calendar month. The first day of the New Year falls on the new moon between 21 Jan and 20 Feb. \nAccording to the Chinese 12-year animal zodiac cycle\, the Chinese year beginning in 2023 is the year of the Rabbit. Each Chinese zodiac year begins on Chinese New Year’s Day. \nThe New Year festival is centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and customs. Traditionally\, the festival was a time to honour deities as well as ancestors. Chinese New Year is celebrated in countries and territories with significant Chinese populations\, including Mainland China\, Hong Kong\, Macau\, Singapore\, Taiwan\, Indonesia\, Malaysia\, Thailand\, Vietnam\, Cambodia\, Mauritius\, Australia\, and the Philippines. Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the lunar new year celebrations of its geographic neighbours. \nWithin China\, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese New Year vary widely. Often\, the evening preceding Chinese New Year’s Day is an occasion for Chinese families to gather for the annual reunion dinner. It is also traditional for every family to thoroughly clean the house\, in order to sweep away any ill-fortune and to make way for incoming good luck. Windows and doors are decorated with red colour paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of “good fortune” or “happiness”\, “wealth”\, and “longevity”. Other activities include lighting firecrackers and giving money in red paper envelopes. In about one third of the Mainland population\, or 500 million Northerners\, dumplings (especially those of vegetarian fillings) feature prominently in the meals celebrating the festival.

SUMMARY:National Hug Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:January 21 is National Hugging Day . This holiday has become popular in other countries where it is called Hugging Day or Hug Day. \nThe idea of National Hugging Day belongs to Kevin Zaborney\, who introduced this holiday on January 21\, 1986 in Clio\, Michigan\, USA. This holiday had to encourage others to hug everyone\, no matter who they are: members of family\, friends or strangers. Hugging has many benefits for our health. Different studies prove that hugging helps build a good immune system and decrease risk of heart disease\, lower blood pressure and trigger the release of healthy hormones. \nA hug or just 10 minutes of holding hands with a romantic partner reduces stress and its harmful physical effects.Hugging your romantic partner is the best for your health\, but don’t avoid hugs with your friend or even stranger on National Hugging Day. Maybe you will become a new hugging champion. \nThe record of most hugs given by one person in one hour belongs to Nick Vujicic. He hugged 1\,749 people at an expo centre in Oregon in 2010.

SUMMARY:Winnie The Pooh Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:One of the cuddliest holidays around has to be Winnie the Pooh Day\, celebrated on the birthday of author A A Milne. It’s one special anniversary fans just can’t bear to miss! Every year\, the occasion is marked with events such as teddy bears’ picnics\, featuring plenty of honey on the menu. \nWinnie the Pooh first appeared on the printed page in 1926\, together with friends Piglet\, Tigger and Eeyore. All of them were based on toys owned by the author’s son\, who also featured in the famous stories as Christopher Robin. The character later starred in a series of much-loved Disney films. One extra-special way to mark the day is to visit Pooh Corner in Hartfield\, East Sussex\, where the books were written. You can pick up a map to follow in the characters’ footsteps\, and even play a game of Poohsticks on the original bridge.

SUMMARY:World Braille Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Get ready\, because on January 4th it’s time to celebrate World Braille Day! I’m sure you can guess that this is a day of celebrating the innovation of braille\, but what is it\, really? \nWhat is World Braille Day all about? \nWorld Braille Day is celebrated every year on January 4th because it is Louis Braille’s birthday\, the inventor of braille! Louis was born in 1809 in France. He became blind after a childhood accident\, and he quickly mastered his new way of living. When he was just 15 years old\, he created the system we know today as braille\, based on a system of writing developed by Charles Barbier. Over the years braille was tweaked to make it easier to read\, and now it’s used the world over! \nCelebrate Braille Literacy \nWorld Braille Day is a reminder of the importance of accessibility and independence for those who are blind or visually-impaired. The reality is that many everyday establishments — restaurants\, banks\, hospitals — aren’t equipped with braille menus\, statements or bills. That means people with blindness or a vision impairment aren’t given the freedom to choose their own dinner … or to keep their finances private. \nWorld Braille Day spreads awareness about braille and other accessible forms of communication. Everyone deserves (and is legally entitled to) the same accommodations and service\, regardless of ability. On World Braille Day\, let’s remember that and do our part to make our workplaces more accessible for everyone. \nBraille literacy is also an important factor in equal opportunities for people with blindness. You can learn more about how literacy inequality affects those with a visual disability in our blog\, Inequality in Literacy for People with Visual Disabilities. \nLouis Braille didn’t get to see just how helpful his invention became. He died in 1852\, and it wasn’t until 2 years later that the school he attended as a child\, France’s Royal Institute for Blind Youth\, began teaching it to students. In 1916 it was used widely at schools for the blind in the United States. Today\, you’ll find braille on objects you use every day—signs\, ATMs\, elevators\, calculators\, and more. Rubix cubes\, watches\, legos\, and other innovations are constantly changing the way that Braille is used.

SUMMARY:Walk Your Dog Month 2023
DESCRIPTION:January is Walk Your Dog Month and what better way to kick start your New Years Resolutions by getting out in the great outdoors and walking off some of that festive food and drink? \nWith obvious health benefits for both you and your dog(s)\, this awareness month is a great way to help dust off the January blues\, get out and about\, meet other dog walkers and improve your own and your dogs well being. \nIn a 2017 clinical survey carried out by the Association of Pet Obesity Prevention\, it was found that 56% of dogs in the United States are obese equating to 50.2 million dogs across the Nation. \nThe number of pets with clinical obesity continues to increase. states APOP Founder\, veterinarian Dr. Ernie Ward. We’re continuing to see more pets diagnosed with obesity rather than overweight. Clinical obesity results in more secondary conditions such as arthritis\, high blood pressure\, kidney disease\, and certain forms of cancer. Pets with obesity also have reduced quality of life and shorter life expectancy. \nWith the biggest reason given for not being able to exercise pets appropriately being “too busy”\, Walk Your Dog Month is a great opportunity to set yourself some small targets to get out walking with your dog and hopefully change your habits long term to the benefit of you both. \nIt is important to note that before starting any exercise regime it would be worthwhile checking that your dog doesnt have any underlying health issues and when you do start frequent dog walking\, safety is key for both you and your dog. Some things to consider include: \nWearing brightly coloured or reflective clothing\, leashes and collars. \nStay in well lit public areas \nEnsure your dog has access to plenty of fresh clean water during if on a long walk and afterwards. \nProtect your dogs feet from the elements- ice\, snow and de-icers and grit can all cause nasty sores so be sure to protect your dogs feet and wash them down afterwards. \nMake sure your dog is warm or cool enough – particularly if young\, old or with a condition such as arthritis. \nBut most of all HAVE FUN!

SUMMARY:International Migrants Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:“On this International Migrants Day\, I call on the international community to act on the global compact on safe\, regular and orderly migration as an important contribution to building a world of peace\, prosperity\, dignity and opportunity for all.” ‚ UN Secretary-General\, Ban Ki-moon\nInternational Migrants Day\nThe total number of international migrants has increased from an estimated 175 million in 2000 to 244 million persons in 2015. Nearly two thirds of all international migrants live in Europe (76 million) or Asia (75 million). Migration is now more widely distributed across more countries. Today the top 10 countries of destination receive a smaller share of all migrants than in 2000. \nOne of every ten migrants is under the age of 15. The impact of remittance flows is also significant having reached $436 billion in 2014 far exceeding official development assistance and\, excluding China\, foreign direct investment. \nThroughout human history\, migration has been a courageous expression of the individual’s will to overcome adversity and to live a better life. Today\, globalization\, together with advances in communications and transportation\, has greatly increased the number of people who have the desire and the capacity to move to other places. \nThis new era has created challenges and opportunities for societies throughout the world. It also has served to underscore the clear linkage between migration and development\, as well as the opportunities it provides for co-development\, that is\, the concerted improvement of economic and social conditions at both origin and destination. \nMigration draws increasing attention in the world nowadays. Mixed with elements of unforeseeability\, emergency\, and complexity\, the challenges and difficulties of international migration require enhanced cooperation and collective action among countries and regions. The United Nations is actively playing a catalyst role in this area\, with the aim of creating more dialogues and interactions within countries and regions\, as well as propelling experience exchange and collaboration opportunities. \nOn September 19\, 2016 the United Nations General Assembly adopted a set of commitments during its first ever summit on large movements of refugees and migrants to enhance the protection of refugees and migrants. These commitments are known as the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants (NY Declaration). The NY Declaration reaffirms the importance of the international protection regime and represents a commitment by Member States to strengthen and enhance mechanisms to protect people on the move.

SUMMARY:Illumination Street Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Illumination Street is an annual event that celebrates the passion\, flair and effort that people across Britain undertake to brighten up their streets in the build-up to Christmas. \nIt’s cold outside but gardens can still dazzle all through winter. And festive displays give streets a huge lift on gloomy nights\, shining a festive light on spectacular shrubs and trees.  \nA decade ago\, it was just a few hardy souls who went wild for Christmas. But with the advent of inexpensive\, reliable LED lighting\, gardens up and down the country are transformed into attention-grabbing winter wonderlands throughout December. We want to celebrate the best displays across Britain\, from those dedicated souls who raise money for charities\, to others who just want to make their streets sparkle. These displays can really brighten up communities as the nights draw in – and anything that encourages an inclusive community experience through their garden lighting displays is a good thing. \nThe aim of Illumination Street is to inspire adults and children to use their imagination and light up the country during the festive season. And anyone who participates can get the recognition they deserve\, with the chance to win fabulous prizes in our Illumination Street competition.  \nSo take part\, share your displays and use the hashtag #IlluminationStreetWeek on social media.

SUMMARY:Tree Dressing Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Tree dressing\, in the first week of December\, is based on many old customs from all over the world and at different times of the year.\nTree Dressing Day falls on the first weekend of December. It was initiated by Common Ground in 1990 and has grown to become much more than an expression of a love for trees. It is a chance for the whole community to gather and celebrate the leafy friends we all have in common. It’s also a chance for communities to reflect on the social and cultural history of their local area\, and the role trees have played in shaping this story.\nTrees have long been celebrated for their spiritual significance. The simplicity of tying strips of cloth or yarn to a tree is universal and timeless. The old Celtic custom of tying cloth dipped in water from a holy well to a clootie tree‚echoes the practice in Japan of decorating trees with strips of white paper\, or tanzaku\, bearing wishes and poems. The twenty-first century trend of yarn bombing‚in Europe and North America transforms the local landscape with bright fabrics and yarns\, like the Buddhist tradition of tying ribbons around the trunk of the Bodhi tree in homage to Buddha\, or the annual Hindu festival of Raksha Bandhan when coloured strings are tied onto trees and plants to call upon the power of nature to protect loved ones.\nThese deep and diverse cultural associations provide a rich basis for tree festivities across the world. The act of dressing a tree binds us to it and celebrates the unique role that trees have in our local neighbourhoods.\nTree dressing is a powerful way of expressing our relationship with trees. Organising a Tree Dressing Day in your community is a wonderful way of saying thank you‚to the trees where you live. It is also the ideal moment to share tree stories with friends\, neighbours and colleagues. This year and every year join the many thousands of people across the UK who celebrate Tree Dressing Day and make sure your community’s voice is heard by saying thank you to the trees in your neighbourhood.

SUMMARY:16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence 2022
DESCRIPTION:What is 16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence?\n16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence is aimed at businesses to support them to take action against domestic abuse and violence. Employers have a legal obligation to assess dynamic risk and support the health and safety and wellness of their employees. Companies can do more to aid their employees who endure domestic violence\, to train those who witness it\, and to protect staff as a whole\, with the goal of securing safety and mitigating financial loss. Spanning across 16 days from 25th November to 10th December\, a theme will be identified each day to explore the various forms of domestic violence. In doing so\, the workplace will be better equipped to acknowledge the signs that indicate it may be going on.\nHISTORY\n16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence stems from the original movement\, 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence. The movement was first begun at the Women’s Global Leadership Institute in 1991\, an event sponsored by the Centre for Women’s Global Leadership. \nSince 1991\, 5\,167 groups in 187 countries have contributed to promoting and supporting these 16 Days. Large organisations such as the world-renowned Amnesty International and World Health Organisation support and celebrate the 16 Days\, as well as far more local\, grassroots projects. \nEach organisation approaches the 16 Days differently\, some\, such as the World Health Organisation\, promote 16 facts regarding domestic violence in order to educate the public on an under-reported and misunderstood violation of human rights. \nSchools around the world have dedicated time and manpower to this movement as well\, as demonstrated by institutions such as Rutgers\, who have been extremely active and outspoken\, generating their own toolkit on how to approach domestic violence\, and much more. \nPublic sector work by the above organisations\, and hundreds of others are exemplary and indicate that people are dedicated to making the general public understand the impact of domestic violence on society\, through blogging\, community projects\, tweeting\, and putting on exhibitions. \n16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence has taken the model of the original movement\, and tailored it to businesses and has centred on the impact that domestic violence has on the workplace. The movement was not initiated by the Corporate Alliance\, rather it has built upon over two decades of fantastic work to focus on the workplace\, and eradicating the impact of abuse on business.

SUMMARY:Thanksgiving 2022
DESCRIPTION:Thanksgiving 2022 is observed on November 24th and we all know what it is right? \n Just in case you don’t\, here is some information about it! \n Thanksgiving in the USA can be dated back as far as 1621 ( some will say earlier) when a group of pilgrims shared a feast with Native Americans by way of celebrating what had been a fruitful harvest. The previous years harvest had been a disaster with many of the pilgrims starving to death. The members of the Native American tribe kindly demonstrated to the remaining pilgrims how to tend the land to ensure crops would grow\, catch fish and generally become self sufficient. From this\, the first Thanksgiving was born. \n With roots in religious and cultural traditions\, the day is also classed as a secular occasion and is an opportunity to give thanks for what you have. It is usually seen as the start of the festive season with celebrations often grand and prolonged\, with many celebrating Thanksgiving more so than Christmas. Many take the opportunity to get together with friends and family with many family and historical traditions observed; from parades\, turkeys cooked\, turkeys pardoned\, pumpkin pie and a days or two holiday- whats not to love? \n Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

SUMMARY:National Adoption Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Adoption Day is observed annually on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. \nThis event is focused on raising awareness of children in foster care waiting to be adopted. The first National Adoption Day was held in 2000 by a coalition of national partners which included Children’s Action Network\, The Alliance for Children’s Rights\, Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and Freddie Mac Foundation. \nIn 2002\, the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute and Casey Family Services joined the coalition. \nThe National Adoption Day sponsors co-operate with states foster care agencies\, child advocates\, law firms\, and courts to complete the adoptions of children in foster care. Since the inception of National Adoption Day\, more than 54\,000 children were moved from foster care to forever families.

The aim of National Adoption Day is to provide forever families to as many children as possible.

SUMMARY:Anti Bullying Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Anti-Bullying Week takes place in England from November 14th to the 18th. This nationwide event is organised by the Anti-Bullying Alliance and is intended to raise awareness of the issue of bullying among children\, especially in schools. Children of all ages as well as parents and children are encouraged to get involved in the event and take part in activities that will help to shine a light on the problem of bullying and ways to help resolve the issue. \nParents\, carers and teachers will also be asked to play an active role in preventing bullying\, with the main focus this time around is demonstrating different ways to support young people and provide an open platform for them to talk about any issues they have with bullying. The main role that carers can provide is creating a safe environment where young people can feel like they are able to talk about their feelings and problems and will receive support. \nA number of lesson plans and activities have been created and shared online for Anti-Bullying Week and downloading this content and making it a part of the classroom activities is a great way for teachers to get involved. \nHere’s a few more details about this year’s theme.\nAnti-Bullying Week 2022 is coordinated in England and Wales by the Anti-Bullying Alliance. It will take place from 14 to 18 November 2022 and has the theme Reach Out. The week will kick off with Odd Socks Day on Monday 14th November\, where adults and children where odd socks to celebrate what makes us all unique. \n\n\n\nThe theme of Reach Out came about following consultation with teachers and pupils by the Anti-Bullying Alliance which coordinates Anti-Bullying Week every year in England and Wales. Teachers and children wanted a theme that empowered them to do something positive to counter the harm and hurt that bullying causes. \nFollowing the success of the campaign in 2021 – when 80% of schools marked the week\, reaching over 7.5 million children and young people – Anti-Bullying Week will remind everyone whether it’s in school\, at home\, in the community or online\, let’s reach out and show each other the support we need. \nOur call to action: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBullying affects millions of lives and can leave us feeling hopeless. But it doesn’t have to be this way. If we challenge it\, we can change it. And it starts by reaching out. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhether it’s in school\, at home\, in the community or online\, let’s reach out and show each other the support we need. Reach out to someone you trust if you need to talk. Reach out to someone you know is being bullied. Reach out and consider a new approach. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnd it doesn’t stop with young people. From teachers to parents and influencers to politicians\, we all have a responsibility to help each other reach out. Together\, let’s be the change we want to see. Reflect on our own behaviour\, set positive examples and create kinder communities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt takes courage\, but it can change lives. So\, this Anti-Bullying Week\, let’s come together and reach out to stop bullying.

SUMMARY:Talk Money Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Talk Money Week is an annual campaign to get the nation talking about money.\nEach November we encourage the UK to talk about managing money – from pocket money right through to pensions – and celebrate the work done by thousands of organisations to build financial wellbeing across the country. \nThe week provides a platform to have a conversation about money between families and friends\, at work or at school or any other walk of life. Our goal is to turn talking about money from one of the UK’s least favourite topics into something commonplace. \nWhy talk money?\nTalking openly about money is vitally important for our health\, wealth and relationships. The effect of Covid-19 has made it more important than ever to start conversations about money. \nResearch shows that people who talk about money: \n+ make better and less risky financial decisions\n+ have stronger personal relationships\n+ help their children form good lifetime money habits\n+ feel less stressed or anxious and more in control. \nBuilding money conversations into our everyday lives also helps us build financial confidence and resilience to face whatever the future throws at us. \nIf we’re not prepared\, we can struggle to cope when an income shock happens or a life event changes everything. \nTalk Money Week is a great opportunity to join\, start or lead the conversation. It’s for anyone who wants to manage money better\, or any organisation working to help people deal with money matters. Organisations can also use the week to learn more about financial wellbeing and what it might mean for them and their customers.

SUMMARY:Guy Fawkes Night 2022 (Bonfire Night)
DESCRIPTION:Guy Fawkes Night\, also known as Guy Fawkes Day\, Bonfire Night and Firework Night\, is an annual commemoration observed on 5 November\, primarily in Great Britain. Its history begins with the events of 5 November 1605\, when Guy Fawkes\, a member of the Gunpowder Plot\, was arrested while guarding explosivesthe plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life\, people lit bonfires around London\, and months later the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Actenforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot’s failure. \n Within a few decades Gunpowder Treason Day\, as it was known\, became the predominant English state commemoration\, but as it carried strong Protestant religious overtones it also became a focus for anti-Catholic sentiment. Puritans delivered sermons regarding the perceived dangers of popery\, while during increasingly raucous celebrations common folk burnt effigies of popular hate-figures\, such as the pope. Towards the end of the 18th century reports appear of children begging for money with effigies of Guy Fawkes and 5 November gradually became known as Guy Fawkes Day. Towns such as Lewes and Guildford were in the 19th century scenes of increasingly violent class-based confrontations\, fostering traditions those towns celebrate still\, albeit peaceably. In the 1850s changing attitudes resulted in the toning down of much of the day’s anti-Catholic rhetoric\, and the Observance of 5th November Act was repealed in 1859. Eventually the violence was dealt with\, and by the 20th century Guy Fawkes Day had become an enjoyable social commemoration\, although lacking much of its original focus. The present-day Guy Fawkes Night is usually celebrated at large organised events\, centred on a bonfire and extravagant firework displays.

SUMMARY:National Family Caregivers Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:November is the month where we take time to recognise and give praise and support to the 78 million people who dedicate their time\, often unpaid\, caring for a family member in need. \n Particularly as we approach the festive season when focus is placed on family and quality time\, it is important that we show our appreciation for those who work tirelessly to provide care; whether it be financial\, medical\, domestic or emotional support. We must never underestimate the strength that caregivers have for providing this support to those people who need it the most\, nor the toll that it can take both emotionally and physically upon them. \n The devotion and love that these people show to their loved ones therefore quite rightly ought to be celebrated. A Presidential Proclamation declaring November as National Family Caregivers Month provides much recognition for these devoted family members and acts as a backdrop for many national and local organisations to structure events\, raise funds\, provide support networks and most of all celebrate these wonderful people. \n Every year a theme is chosen to focus awareness raising and information dissemination.  \n Perhaps you know someone or are yourself who cares for a family member and would benefit from engaging with the activity taking place throughout November.

SUMMARY:National Brush Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Brush Day is held in the United States on November 1. This observance focuses on raising awareness about the importance of children’s oral health. \nNational Brush Day was first observed in 2013 and has continued to grow and gather support from dental professionals\, parents and schools. The date of November 1 was chosen because it is the day after Halloween and we all know just how many sweet treats kids consume on that holiday! And with frequent consumption of sugary foods being the number one cause of tooth decay and one of the most common chronic childhood diseases in the U.S. it is only right that we encourage exceptional oral hygiene and support National Brush Day! \nNational Brush Day began as an extension of the Kid’s Healthy Mouths PSA campaign launched by the Partnership for Healthy Mouths\, Health Lives and the Ad Council. The campaign is designed to encourage parents to make sure their children brush their teeth for at least two minutes\, two times a day. \nThough this task may seem easy enough\, as we are sure those of you who have kids will be very aware\, many kids refuse to brush their teeth even for two minutes because they get bored quickly and do not realise the damage that can take place. To help parents\, the PSA has cleverly provided funny two-minute videos that can distract children while brushing. \nIt is important to keep in mind that good tooth-brushing habits help prevent severe oral pain and many tooth disorders as well as significantly improve children’s dental health. So get behind this initiative and lets try educate our kids a little bit more!

SUMMARY:Halloween 2022
DESCRIPTION:Halloween All Hallows’ Eve All Saint’s Eve\nAll of these are names for one of the most famous international holidays to ever spread across Western society.

SUMMARY:National Bug Busting Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:The aim on national Bug Busting Days is to find all the head lice and zap them in one fell swoop. This stops them from circulating endlessly. \n Often a child who has caught head lice in the last month will show no obvious symptoms\, but they are still contagious. In most cases there will be just 10 or so lice on the head\, and parents will not discover them unless they use a Bug Buster Kit. This contains the unique Bug Buster combs\, expressly designed and scientifically tested for accurate louse detection\, and full\, easy-to-follow instructions on using them with ordinary shampoo and conditioner. Remember it is always necessary to check again the Bug Busting way after treatment because none is guaranteed to kill all head lice and their eggs. \n You can also check out this NHS Choices website entry on head lice. It includes a clear explanation of how head lice are caught and what environmental precautions are relevant to control. \n The charity Community Hygiene Concern produces Bug Busting materials for schools and Bug Buster Kits for families on a not-for-profit basis. \n If you require any further information you can: \n   Ring the Bug Buster Help Line on 01908 561928\n   Email bugbusters2k@yahoo.co.uk or\n   Visit the official National Bug Busting Day website \n Schools and nurseries up and down the country introduce parents to Bug Busting and louse control becomes fun\, without tears\, based on sound science. \n Bug Busting Days are organised by the charity Community Hygiene Concern in partnership with the Department of Health. \n Bug Busting Days take place on 31 January\, 15 June and 31 October.

SUMMARY:National Black Cat Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Black Cat Day is held each year on the 27th October and was organised by Cats Protection back in 2011 with the aim of promoting the beauty of black cats. \n In the past black cats have suffered from a bad rep\, with superstition and folklore around the world playing a huge part in this. Did you know that in previous years black cats in rescues took on average 7 days longer to be rehomed than their furry friends of other colours? \n Although the hard work of Cats Protection and the yearly Black Cat Day campaign has helped to boost the profile of these beautiful little guys – in turn helping to reduce the time that they spend waiting for their forever homes\, let’s keep banging the drum of our black furry friends and celebrate all things great about them this October 27th! \n You can get involved on social media by using the hashtag #BlackCatDay or if you really want to show the love and you think that you have the purrfect home to share with a feline friend then check out Cats Protection for more details on how to adopt a cat. \n

SUMMARY:National Coming Out Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:National coming out day is celebrated on October 11th on a yearly basis. It grows and becomes more well known every single year. National coming out day is a time for those in the LGBT community to finally be open about who they are to their friends\, family and the world! \n This day was actually founded way back in 1988 and since then it has hit the world by storm. Being out and proud as a lesbian person\, a bisexual person\, a gay person or a trans person is such a liberation and is sure to completely transform your life for the better. \n There is no question that homophobia and ignorance builds on silence so it is time to end that silence. Being proud of who you are and who you live will make you happier within yourself. Research has shown that if somebody KNOWS somebody who is part of the LGBT community\, they are much less likely to be homophobic. \n ‘Coming out’ basically means expressing your sexuality to the world in order to end the stigma and this is exactly what NCDO is about. Get out of that closest and do it proudly on this special day of the year.

SUMMARY:Animal Road Accident Awareness Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:No animal deserves to be left in the road like rubbish following a road traffic accident.\n Today is a day to remember the fallen\, and to help spread the message of how there’s still a chance to change the fate of those who have not yet found themselves in this position. So many animals never getting the option of a second chance\, for no other reason but the driver didn’t see their lives as important enough to give them a second thought. All animals deserve a chance of survival. \n Every day in the UK\, 630 cats will be hit by cars. 25% of hits will be fatal\, meaning 75% have a good chance at survival if the driver seeks help straight away. Find out how you can help if you hit or find a cat in the road on our website.\n In Britain\, annual road casualties are estimated to account for 100\,000 fox deaths\, 50\,000 badgers\, 50\,000 deer\, 30 million birds and 29% of hedgehogs. Based on statistical analysis of those potentially unrecorded\, the realistic death rate is estimated to be around 70million animals. A waste of life summed up in numbers that are hard to comprehend. \n Wildlife casualties should be reported to your nearest wildlife rescue at http://www.helpwildlife.co.uk/sick-or-injured-wildlife/ They are specifically trained to care for and rehabilitate wildlife. Domestic pets should be taken to the nearest veterinary practice\, alive or deceased. Persons taking injured animals to a veterinarian will not incur costs. Veterinarians are only obliged to administer pain relief to relieve suffering so ensure pets are microchipped and the details kept up to date.

SUMMARY:National Hygiene Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:What is National Hygiene Week?\nNational Hygiene Week returns on 3rd – 9th October to help raise awareness about hygiene poverty and it’s impact on those pulled into poverty. The Hygiene Bank’s 3rd national Hygiene Week will host a mix of activities bringing individuals\, communities\, businesses and thought leaders together to tackle hygiene poverty. \nRising poverty levels in the UK is a growing concern. In December 2021\, The Joseph Rowntree Foundation suggested that 200\,000 people were pulled into deep poverty as a result of rapidly increasing inflation costs. \nThose experiencing hygiene poverty can often be held back from fully participating in society due to the negative impact on health and mental well-being such as avoiding school\, not being able to join in sports\, impact on employability\, and less social interactions. \nThe Hygiene Bank is a national\, grassroots\, volunteer-powered charity with a vision that one day everyone living in the UK will have access to essential hygiene products. Their network of projects exists to provide basics to people living in poverty who are unable to afford to stay clean. They believe feeling clean should not be a luxury or a privilege in the modern world and so they work to inspire social change. \n\nWhen is National Hygiene Week 2022?\nNational Hygiene Week returns from the 3rd-9th October 2022\, to help raise awareness about hygiene poverty and its impact on those pulled into poverty. \nHow to get involved in National Hygiene Week 2022.\nMany organisations in the third and private sector have gotten involved in previous National Hygiene Weeks participating in events and actions such as panel discussions\, educational resources for schools\, social media campaign\, media coverage\, MP engagement and more. Participating organisations included Boots UK\, Centre for Social Justice\, FareShare\, HeyGirls\, icanyoucantoo\, In Kind Direct\, Joseph Rowntree Foundation\, Little Village\, Pura\, The New Social Covenant\, Mayor’s Fund for London\, Star Academies\, Trussell Trust\, Unilever\, Women’s Aid\, and more. \nYou can learn more about National Hygiene Week here. \nIf you would like to get involved in National Hygiene Week 2022\, please email NHW@thehygienebank.com.

SUMMARY:Child Health Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Child Health Day is a national observance in the United States observed on the first Monday of October annually. \nThis observance focuses on raising people’s awareness about how they can protect and develop children’s health. \nChild Health Day was first celebrated in 1928\, after the proclamation by President Calvin Coolidge. It was initially observed on May 1 however in 1960\, it was moved to the first Monday of October and has been observed on this day every year since then. \nAlthough it is a national observance\, it does not have the status of a public holiday. \nOn Child Health Day\, many health organizations and health professionals across the country organize various activities and events aimed at informing parents of the importance of prenatal and newborn care\, regular doctor visits\, healthy eating and physical activity as well as the means of preventing and treating illnesses and injuries. This national observance is supported by many organizations such as the Health Resources and Services Administration and the Maternal and Child Health Library. \nThe health of our children should always be of primary importance to us\, therefore this important awareness campaign deserves our full support. Why not make use of the many tools available from the many agencies participating in the campaign to educate yourself and your children about good health practices?

SUMMARY:World Habitat Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations has designated the first Monday of October of every year as World Habitat Day. \nThe purpose of World Habitat Day is to reflect on the state of our towns and cities\, and on the basic right of all to adequate shelter. It is also intended to remind the world that we all have the power and the responsibility to shape the future of our cities and towns. \nWorld Habitat Day was established in 1985 by the United Nations General Assembly through Resolution 40/202\, and was first celebrated in 1986. \nEach year\, World Habitat Day takes on a new theme to bring attention to UN-Habitat’s mandate to promote sustainable development policies that ensure adequate shelter for all. \nThe theme for this year’s World Habitat Day is Accelerating urban action for a carbon-free world. Cities are responsible for some 70 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions with transport\, buildings\, energy\, and waste management accounting for the bulk of urban greenhouse gas emissions. \nThe future of our planet depends on national\, regional and local governments and organizations\, communities\, academic institutions\, the private sector and all relevant stakeholders working together to create sustainable\, carbon-neutral\, inclusive cities and towns. \nWorld Habitat Day will amplify the global Race to Zero Campaign and UN-Habitat’s ClimateAction4Cities and encourage local governments to develop actionable zero-carbon plans in the run up to the international climate change summit COP26 in November. \nMore information about this year’s World Habitat Day celebrations will be posted soon. \nPlease feel free to contact us on our NEW email address: unhabitat-whd@un.org

SUMMARY:National Bullying Prevention Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:As a parent\, as I’m sure many of you are\, one of my worst fears is to find that my children are either being bullied\, or being a bully themselves. I often wonder how we would deal with discovering either of these scenarios. In a world where bullying can take on many new and different forms\, it concerns me that not enough parents\, guardians\, families and friends would know what to do for the best. \nAlthough sad that such an awareness campaign has to exist in the first place\, it’s also reassuring and useful to know that the National Bullying Prevention Center run the National Bullying Prevention Month throughout the month of October with lots of information and support readily available to help anyone who may need it. \nEstablished by PACER\, a center for parent training and information for families and youth with disabilities\, the initial campaign was designed to raise awareness of the long lasting effects that bullying has on many children and young people and to change the perception that bullying is a part of growing up that cannot be challenged. Collaborating with education-based organizations such as the National PTA\, the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association they provide schools\, parents and students with the educational resources and support to better respond to bullying behavior. \nThroughout the month the campaign aims to work at a grassroots level with local schools\, community groups\, young people and families to address any issues faced by them\, signpost to organisations who may be able to offer support\, educate youngsters about the effects of bullying and promote kindness\, acceptance and inclusion. On a higher level they also work with news and media outlets encouraging them to promote their message and cause as well as communicating with education and public policy leaders about the role they play in bullying prevention. \nThe dedicated website has many ways you can show your support – be it as an individual\, school or community\, as well as offering ideas for activities for all school ages\, a really useful toolkit advising of lesson plans and details of special events planned across the nation. \nNow a nationally recognised awareness campaign with support from Facebook\, Disney\, Instagram\, CNN\, TLC and Yahoo! Kids and many\, many more organisations this is a campaign that should be embraced by all within our communities.

No matter how big or small your school library please do consider getting involved. \nISLM is open to everybody\, whether you are a member of IASL or not\, so spread the word and start gearing up for a super time for ISLM this October!

DESCRIPTION:ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a very common disorder which affects children and adults. It has for many years been recognised as a childhood issue that affects focus\, self-control and many other important skills. However\, it has only recently been recognised as an adult problem too. The cause is an imbalance in the brains anatomy and its wiring. \n How did ADHD Awareness Month Get Started? \n An ADHD Awareness Day was how it all started. A resolution was passed by the United States Senate that declared September 7th as National Attention Deficit Disorder Day in 2006. From there it grew into a full month by 2004. The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of ADHD\, by providing information that is reliable. The information is based on research and scientific evidence. \n The Organisers \n A coalition of organisations are responsible for organising many different events around the world: the ADHD Organisation (ACO); the Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA) and the Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHASDD). \n What You Can do to Take Part \n A number of different resources are available\, and the idea is to spread the word\, far and wide. If you want to help educate people then there are various resources available online. These include fact sheets and posters\, graphics and logos\, together with videos and recordings.

SUMMARY:World School Milk Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World School Milk Day is held all over the world on the last Wednesday of September every year to celebrate the benefits and success of school milk programmes. \nThe first World School Milk Day was celebrated in September 2000 and has since become an annual event promoted by the FAO (Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations). \nThe History \nIn the UK\, our history of school milk spans back over 100 years to the Provision of Meals Act 1906. This recognised that the provision of school food would allow needy and undernourished children to benefit more from education. Also\, that milk was a food that could be provided to children to prevent poor nutrition. \nAfter the Great Depression and the World Wars malnutrition among children was a great concern. So school milk schemes were introduced and developed. Throughout the 20th century\, the provision of milk to school children has helped combat undernutrition in times of scarcity. \nSchool Milk Today \nMilk and dairy products continue to play a role in children’s diets today. A carton of school milk provides a 4-6 year old with: \n52% of their recommended calcium intake \n59% of their recommended iodine intake \n100% of their recommended vitamin B12 intake \n59% of their recommended B2 intake. \nFor older children aged 7-10 years\, a carton of milk provides: \n42% of their recommended calcium intake \n53% of their recommended iodine intake \n100% of their recommended vitamin B12 \n47% of their recommended B2 intake. \nMilk also provides energy and protein for their growth and development. \nWorld School Milk Day is celebrated in many countries\, with an increasing number of activities taking place each year. Schools and milk providers are free to celebrate as they wish. Celebrations can be at any level – from national or regional events to individual schools. Find out more about dairy and health for primary school children.

SUMMARY:Wool Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:After much deliberation we are thrilled to announce that Shetland Wool Week will be going ahead in person this year. It will be a scaled back version of our usual physical event as our main focus will be on delivering SWW in full for 2023. \n\nThe all-important dates are Saturday 24 September to Sunday 2 October 2022.\n\nFor the past two years we have run a virtual event\, but this year\, with Covid restrictions lifting around the world\, we wanted to take our first steps towards bringing a physical event back and will be calling it ‘Casting on Shetland Wool Week’. \nThis temporary name change is an indication of how this year’s event will be quite different in scale from previous physical Wool Weeks. With the ongoing uncertainty of new Covid variants\, and ever-mindful of our small island community\, our programme will be reduced in size from previous years. \nHow will this year’s SWW be different?\nWhile this year’s event will include classes in popular topics\, such as Fair Isle knitting\, weaving and lace\, we will not have the variety and sheer number of workshops as before\, so there will be limited capacity and choice. There will be tours\, talks and textile drop ins at community halls throughout the isles\, but it is looking likely that the large-scale public gatherings\, such as the opening ceremony\, and much-loved Hub space at the Shetland Museum may be omitted.

SUMMARY:National Public Lands Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Public Lands Day (NPLD) is a national annual observance that typically falls on the last Saturday in September. It focuses on volunteer conservation of public lands (lands held by central or local governments). \nOrganized each year by the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF)\, National Public Lands Day promotes the connection between people and the environment by inviting everyone to get outside. Public lands in the United States include parks\, forests\, and wildlife management areas.

NPLD focuses on caring for public lands across the country\, educating the citizens about the natural resources and environment. Whether it be from damage caused by natural disasters and extreme weather\, human activities or the host of other factors that impact upon our public lands threatening the health and well being of the people and wildlife who depend upon them\, public land managers\, volunteers\, and others who steward these special places work tirelessly to restore these areas\, make them more resilient to future threats\, and ensure that people and wildlife continue to enjoy them for years to come. \nIt is supported by federal agencies\, state\, regional and local governments\, and non-profit organizations. NPLD volunteers collect invasive plants\, build and maintain trails\, plant trees\, shrubs and other plants\, remove trash from trails and other places. They also donate money through volunteer services to help improve public land sites. \nFree for all to attend and volunteers welcomed\, what a fantastic opportunity to get outdoors\, breathe in the fresh air\, enjoy the scenery and even volunteer!

SUMMARY:Seed Gathering Season 2022
DESCRIPTION:Since 1998\, The Tree Council has been organising Seed Gathering Season\, the autumn campaign to inspire everyone to gather seeds\, fruits and nuts and grow the trees of the future. The festival starts each year on the 23rd September (the autumn equinox\, considered to be the first day of autumn) and continues until the 23rd October\, giving our volunteer Tree Wardens and member organisations plenty of days on which to hold events\, with lots of opportunities for everyone to hear and get inspired. \nAt a time when trees are also being ravaged by newly imported pests and diseases\, one important factor for the survival of some species is going to be diversity of stock and the way forward is going to be trees grown from local seed\, on home soil. Growing seeds from healthy UK trees is probably one of the best ways of taking out insurance that there will be strong saplings to plant where the gaps appear. \nGrowing trees from local seed can have great benefits in restocking areas with trees of local provenance. The concept of local provenance suggests that trees that are adapted to the local circumstances are more likely to flourish and so help restore\, conserve and beautify local urban and rural spaces. Collecting seeds and growing trees is also a great way to get children involved and start growing the next generation of tree enthusiasts. \nInterested in getting involved? You can find events on our Near You map. \nIf you’re interested in organising your own event in 2020\, read further to get some tips on how to grow trees from the seeds. To find out about the kind of activities which took place in your area last year\, for inspiration\, you can look at past events. You can also find more information in our publications Trees and How to Grow Themand The Good Seed Guide. Don’t forget to list your event on our website\, so that other people can come and join you! \nIf you want to get more people in your community involved\, or publicise seed gathering in a school or youth group\, use our downloadable poster.

SUMMARY:World Alzheimer's Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:September 21st every year is World Alzheimer’s Day around the world. This is an international campaign aimed at raising awareness and challenge the common stigma that surrounds Alzheimer related dementia. \nAlzheimer’s is a progressive disease that impairs memory and other mental functions. It is the most common form of dementia that generalizes memory loss and loss of other essential cognitive abilities that are serious enough to interfere with an individual’s daily life. \nThe first Alzheimer’s month campaign was launched in 2012. From previous studies\, an average of 2 out of 3 people globally have little or no understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and associated dementia in their countries. \nSince its inception\, the impact of World Alzheimer’s Month is increasing. However\, the stigmatisation and lack of information surrounding dementia remains to be a global problem that calls for global action. Most people often think that this disease is a normal part of ageing. \nThough this may not be true\, a greatest risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease is increasing age. This is evident by majority of Alzheimer’s patients being 65 years or older. This doesn’t completely classify the disease as an elderly disease. This is because there are approximately 200\,000 Americans under 65 suffering from disease. \nFor this year’s event\, organisations and interested individuals can get involved by supporting awareness through contacting the Alzheimer’s association in their specific country.

Some observe the day through organising peace workshops\, engaging in feasts that bring people together for peace\, putting up peace poles\, and engaging in peace activities that bring people together. An activity that is common in people observing this day is the one minute silence that is observed at 12 noon across all time zones. This activity was started to create a ‘Peace Wave’ that moves around the globe.

SUMMARY:Recycle Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Recycle Week is Recycle Now’s flagship annual event which is a celebration of recycling across the nation. Now in its 19th year\, it’s the one week of the year where retailers\, brands\, waste management companies\, trade associations\, governments and the media come together to achieve one goal: to galvanise the public into recycling more of the right things\, more often. \nThis year’s theme: Step It Up this Recycle Week \nThe Climate Crisis is a tough subject. But we’re a nation of even tougher subjects. The last 15 months have shown that. And while throughout the past year many things have happened over which we’ve had no control\, the Climate Crisis is something we can actively do something about. Every one of us\, every single day. Most of us already do\, through small but powerful habits – like recycling. We know environmental concerns are still on the increase\, so we need to do more. We need to do it now. And we need to act together. It’s time to join the fight against climate change. Step It Up this Recycle Week. \nWith our proven track record of tapping into national conversations and sentiments\, this year’s Recycle Week is set to be a truly impactful national event.

SUMMARY:National Eye Health Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:This year’s National Eye Health Week is set to take place from the 19th to 25th September 2022. 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. During any sight test\, other health conditions including diabetes and high blood pressure can be detected. \nTo maintain healthy eyes\, you should eat well\, avoid smoking and wear eye protection during bright sunlight. \nThe importance of eye sight towards the overall wellbeing\, independence and quality of life of an individual is too important to be ignored. This is why eye care charities\, health professionals and organisations across the UK are encouraged to join together during this week to promote the importance of eye health and need for regular tests.

SUMMARY:Jeans For Genes Day 2022

One of the main beneficiaries is Genetic Disorders UK\, an organisation that supports families affected by genetic disorders. \n Money raised for Jeans for Genes also goes on developing resources in schools to encourage inclusion of children affected by genetic disorders. \n Some of the outcomes of fundraising include holidays for families affected by genetic disorders\, provision of communication equipment\, sensory equipment\, support groups\, support websites\, mobility aids\, education and training and much more. \n There is a dedicated website for Jeans for Jeans Day\, where you can find out more.

SUMMARY:International Talk Like A Pirate Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Argh me hearties! So yer ‘ere to learn the vast secrets of this sacred day that soon be upon us!? \n You guessed it\, we’re referring to ‘International Talk Like a Pirate Day’. If you’re here to get all the deets about when it is\, why it is and what to do for it\, then keep on reading! \n Origins \n This celebration was started in June 1995 (more than twenty years ago!) A innovative Ol’ Chumbucket and Cap’n Slappy (formally known as John Baur and Mark Summers) sat down and decided to start the holiday as a fun way to dress up as pirates and talk like them too! \n This day offers an opportunity to not only mess around but to give something back. People can dress up as pirates and raise money for charities\, what’s better than that!? \n What Do I do? \n This part is easy. Make sure you grab yourself an eye patch\, bandana\, baggy shirt and a little toy parrot or monkey. Make sure you use awful grammar and jump right into that accent. You could even have a pirate-themed party with edible gold coins and balloon sword fights! Don’t forget to get out Treasure Island or Pirates of the Caribbean if you’re not feeling as academic. \n Public Service Announcement \n Though this is a pirate imitation day\, please do not pillage\, steal or brawl. Actual pirates aren’t that great\, so best to go for the parody version!

SUMMARY:Great British Beach Clean 2022
DESCRIPTION:The Great British Beach Clean is a week-long citizen science event\, where hundreds of beach cleans take place up and down the UK. 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 16th – Sunday 25th September 2022. \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. We need to gather more and more data to wage war on other types of beach litter\, and you can help. \nWant to run your own beach clean event? Find out how to become an organiser \nMake 2022 your year to save our seas. \nTo get involved this year find an event near you – events as a list or on a map. Sign up for the event/s you’d like to attend and the beach clean organiser will be in touch. \nThe Great British Beach Clean includes the Great Channel Islands Beach Clean and Great Northern Irish Beach Clean.

SUMMARY:National POW / MIA Recognition Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:National POW/MIA Recognition Day is an observance that honours whose who were prisoners of war (POW) as well as those who are still missing in action (MIA). \n It is observed in the United States on the third Friday in September\, in 2022 16th September. \n National POW/MIA Recognition Day was proclaimed by the United States Congress in 1998. It is one of the six national observances when the POW/MIA Flag can be flown. The other five observances are Armed Forces Day\, Memorial Day\, Flag Day\, Independence Day\, and Veterans Day. The POW/MIA flag was created by the National League of Families in 1972 and was officially recognized by the Congress in 1990. It is a symbol of concern about United States military personnel taken as POW or listed as MIA. The POW/MIA flag should be no larger than the United States flag. It is typically flown immediately below or adjacent to the national flag as second in the order of precedence. \n On National POW/MIA Recognition Day\, the flag is flown on the grounds of major military installations\, veterans memorials\, government agencies\, federal national cemeteries. \n In the armed forces\, a single table and chair draped with the POW/MIA flag are displayed in mess halls and dining halls. Such installation symbolises the hope for the return of these who are missing in action.

SUMMARY:National Eczema Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:In Previous National Eczema Weeks we urged everyone to Take action on eczema’. 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: \n 1. Keep your home cool to ease itching around 18C is ideal. \n 2. Go fragrance-free. Anything with a strong scent\, from soap to air freshener\, may be irritating to your skin. \n 3. 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. \n 4. Pinch itchy skin rather than scratching it\, to avoid damaging the skin’s barrier. \n 5. Use your emollients at least twice a day to prevent dryness\, and at other times whenever your skin feels dry and itchy. \n 6. 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. \n 7. 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. \n For 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.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

SUMMARY:Orchid Male Cancer Awareness Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Orchid’s annual Male Cancer Awareness Week gives us the opportunity to highlight essential health awareness messages for men at risk of testicular\, prostate or penile cancer. With low awareness of male cancer and the number of men diagnosed each year rising\, the annual campaign is more important than ever. \n Each 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. \n The thirteenth annual Orchid Male Cancer Awareness Week will take place from the 12th – 18th September 2022.

SUMMARY:Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Awareness Week 2022 takes place between September 12th and 17th\, and is an annual event to raise awareness of the condition and the impact on sufferers and their families. 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.

SUMMARY:World Suicide Prevention Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Suicide Prevention Day is observed on September 10 each year to promote worldwide action to prevent suicides. Various events and activities are held during this occasion to raise awareness that suicide is a major preventable cause of premature death. \n What do people do? \n World Suicide Prevention Day gives organizations\, government agencies and individuals a chance to promote awareness about suicide\, mental illnesses associated with suicide\, as well as suicide prevention. Organizations such as the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) and World Health Organization (WHO) play a key role in promoting this event. \n Events and activities for World Suicide Prevention Day include: \n   The launch of new government initiatives to prevent suicide. \n   Conferences\, open days\, educational seminars or public lectures. \n   Media programs promoting suicide awareness and prevention. \n   Memorial services or candlelight ceremonies to remember those who died from suicide. \n   Organizing cultural or spiritual events\, fairs or exhibitions. \n   Launches of publications about suicide awareness and prevention. \n   Training courses about suicide and depression awareness. \n Many of these initiatives are celebrated in various countries worldwide. Some of these events and activities are held at a local level\, while others are nation-wide. Many communities around the world reaffirm their commitment to suicide prevention on World Suicide Prevention Day. \n Background \n Nearly 3000 people on average commit suicide daily\, according to WHO. For every person who completes a suicide\, 20 or more may attempt to end their lives. About one million people die by suicide each year. Suicide is a major preventable cause of premature death which is influenced by psycho-social\, cultural and environmental risk factors that can be prevented through worldwide responses that address these main risk factors. There is strong evidence indicating that adequate prevention can reduce suicide rates. \n World Suicide Prevention Day\, which first started in 2003\, is annually held on September 10 each year as an IASP initiative. WHO co-sponsors this event. World Suicide Prevention Day aims to: \n   Raise awareness that suicide is preventable. \n   Improve education about suicide. \n   Spread information about suicide awareness. \n   Decrease stigmatization regarding suicide. \n WHO and IASP work with governments and other partners to ensure that suicide is no longer stigmatized\, criminalized or penalized. WHO’s role is to build political action and leadership to develop national responses to prevent suicide\, strengthen national planning capacity to establish the core building blocks of such a national response\, and build the national capacities to implement these responses.

SUMMARY:International Day of Charity 2022
DESCRIPTION:As part of the United Nations 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development\, adopted in September 2015\, the UN has recognized the importance of eradicating poverty in all forms. Poverty presents an enormous global challenge for the international community\, as is a significant threat to sustainable development. In the spirit of global solidarity\, the 2030 Agenda is focused on how best to meet the needs of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable citizens and acknowledges the role that the private sector must play in supporting the various organizations who have undertaken philanthropic efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda. \n Poverty exists in every country around the globe\, from powerful industrial nations to developing countries. It continues to affect millions of people\, regardless of their social and cultural situations\, and is a barrier to true prosperity and equality. \n In recognition of the significant role that charities and individuals have undertaken to alleviate human suffering and humanitarian crises\, the UN General Assembly\, under resolution A/RES/67/105PDF\, has designated the 5th of September as the International Day of Charity. This date was chosen as it is the anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa\, and the resolution is\, in part\, a tribute to her work and dedication to charitable causes. \n This 5th of September\, the United Nations invites all Member States\, international and regional organisations\, non-governmental organisations and individuals alike to commemorate the International Day of Charity by encouraging charitable acts in their respective communities to raise public awareness of this event.

SUMMARY:International Vulture Awareness Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:The first Saturday in September each year is International Vulture Awareness Day. \nVultures are an ecologically vital group of birds that face a range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction. \nThe International Vulture Awareness Day has grown from Vulture Awareness Days run by the Birds of Prey Programme of the Endangered Wildlife Trust in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England\, who decided to work together and expand the initiative into an international event. \nIt is now recognised that a co-ordinated international day will publicise the conservation of vultures to a wider audience and highlight the important work being carried out by the world’s vulture conservationists. \nOn the first Saturday in September\, the aim is for each participating organisation to carry out their own activities that highlight vulture conservation and awareness. This website provides a central place for all participants to outline these activities and see the extent of vulture conservation across the world. Additionally\, it is a valuable resource for vulture workers to learn about the activities of their colleagues and to perhaps develop new collaborations or exchange information.

SUMMARY:Gynecological Cancer Awareness Month 2022

SUMMARY:World Alzheimer's Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Alzheimer’s Month is an annual international event\, always held in September and run by Alzheimer’s Disease International\, (ADI). \nThe aim of the month is to raise awareness and challenge stigma surrounding Alzheimer’s and dementia. 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.

SUMMARY:Organic September 2022
DESCRIPTION:Organic September is a month-long campaign which aims to raise awareness of Organic products\, and the brands\, producers and farmers who bring them to us in the UK. \nFoods labelled as organic must meet strict regulations on how they have been grown and produced. 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.

SUMMARY:Childhood Cancer Awareness Month / A Month of Movement 2022
DESCRIPTION:What is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month / A Month Of Movement 2022?\nSeptember is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month\, and is symbolised by a gold ribbon\, worn to commemorate the event. 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 2022?\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.

SUMMARY:National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:As humans \, we tend to take our health pretty seriously. But when was the last time you took your cat for a general check up? If the answer is ‘you can’t remember’ then use today as a gentle reminder to get your feline friend booked in for a health check. National Take Your Cat To The Vet Day on August 22nd is the day used to remind cat owners to pay a visit to the Vets. \n American Veterinary Medical Association have over the years established numerous pet health awareness events\, that encourage pet owners to visit the vet. While you may think that your pet cat is at pretty low risk of picking up illnesses\, they can often become infected with dangerous diseases from stray cats\, found roaming the streets. \n While keeping your pussy inside is likely to protect your him or her from danger\, you can bring a virus or helminth eggs on your shoes. There are also many common illnesses that cats can develop and that can go unnoticed for a period of time. We know how well loved and cared for your pets are\, but nevertheless\, don’t waste time and take your cat to the vet to find out\, if your pet is in a good health condition. And then give them a special treat for the upheaval! \n

SUMMARY:National Allotments Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Many of you will have attended events in your local area as part of previous National Allotment Week’s to celebrate how important allotments and other open spaces are for you and your local community. 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

SUMMARY:Psoriasis Awareness/ Psoriasis Action Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:August is Proriasis Awareness month and is used as an opportunity to educate and inform sufferers on a range of topics varying from treatment\, causes\, triggers and management of the inflammatory and often irritating disease. \nThe cause of psoriasis is still unknown but specialists do know that it is largely affected by the immune system and genetics. \nAffecting men and women\, all races and all ages\, the disease can display on a variety of body parts at any given time therefore it is important to understand what you can do about it as and when you are affected by it. Learning to successfully manage treatment can take a long period of time but there are many ways in which the disease can be controlled and treated. \nWhether you chose to do this via medication\, holistic\, complementary and alternative approaches\, dietary control or lifestyle choices is down to each individual but there is a huge amount of support and information available enabling you to find the best solution. \nAn often irritating and sometimes challenging disease\, we hope you can find support to manage the symptoms successfully. The National Psoriasis Foundation website has lots of useful information to guide you.

SUMMARY:World Breastfeeding Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Set every August for the first seven days of the month\, World Breastfeeding Week aims to highlight the huge benefits that breastfeeding can bring to both the health and welfare of babies\, as well as a wider push for maternal health\, focusing on good nutrition\, poverty reduction and food security. \n The event is organised every year by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA)\, a global network that aims to protect\, promote and support breastfeeding around the world. Along the way\, it works with the World Health Organization and Unicef to get its aid to the right people in the right communities. \n World Breastfeeding Week begins each year on the 1st August and runs right through until the 7th. \n Of course there are many different demands on busy mother’s\, meaning that women who may want to breastfeed their babies haven’t always got the support to continue this. Busy working schedules\, alongside the many other challenges that modern women face can mean that women don’t always feel that breastfeeding their child is something that is an accessible option to them. \n Breastfeeding weeks aim to raise awareness of the health and wellbeing outcomes of breastfeeding and the importance of supporting mothers to breastfeed for as long as they wish.

SUMMARY:Yorkshire Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Named after the biggest county in England (if you unite North\, South\, West and East Riding of Yorkshire\, which is sort of cheating)\, it’s no surprise that Yorkshire Day is a thing. As an area on the up and up\, it’s becoming one of the most important places in the UK\, as the likes of Leeds\, Hull\, Bradford have become prominent as centres of finance\, culture and much more. \nSo\, whether you’re from Yorkshire or not\, celebrate like one of the locals on August 1st by donning your flat cap\, walking the damp countryside with your whippet\, eating a Yorkshire pudding with gravy\, then settling down to complain about the rising price of a pint of best bitter\, ending the night on a cheerier note by remembering the good old days.

SUMMARY:Love Parks Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Love Parks Week is back\, taking place from 29 July to 5 August\, giving people across the country the chance to shout about their wonderful green spaces. \nWhether it’s walking the dog\, picnicking with friends\, or pushing our little ones on a playground swing\, our parks give our communities\, our children\, and our pets a vital space to play\, grow\, and bond. \nLove Parks Week is set up to celebrate and support the efforts of volunteers and workers up and down the country to maintain and protect our green spaces. \nIt provides a week of action for parks to run events in their local area. \nThe campaign will run in partnership with Regatta and is made possible thanks to players of the People’s Postcode Lottery. \nTo celebrate #LoveParks Week\, we’ve teamed up with Regatta to offer four lucky winners £250 worth of Regatta gear each.

SUMMARY:Parents' Day in the USA 2022
DESCRIPTION:The fourth Sunday in July is Parents’ Day in the USA. \nThis holiday is a combination of Father’s Day and Mother’s Day. And what a celebration this should be! The holiday was established in 1994 by President Bill Clinton as the day that recognizes\, uplifts and supports the role of parents in the rearing of children. ay. \nThis observance is more consistent\, because it minimizes traditional sex-based differences in parental roles. But as far as Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are very popular in the USA\, its unlikely Parents’ Day will replace them any time soon. \nSo if you are parents then give yourself a break today and treat yourself. Or if you have or know some hardworking\, lovely parents – remind them how special they are today!

SUMMARY:Ask an Archaeologist Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:The 2022 #AskAnArchaeologist Day will be on Friday 22 July 2022 – get your questions ready! \n#AskAnArchaeologist Day on Twitter is an official part of the CBA Festival of Archaeology and is a chance for people from all over the world to ask archaeologists questions\, and an opportunity for archaeologists to share their knowledge. \nAnyone with access to Twitter can ask a question using the #AskAnArchaeologist hashtag and any archaeologist who has an answer is encouraged to respond. \nThe idea is based on the hugely successful #AskACurator day\, set up by Mar Dixon\, which has run for several years on Twitter. The team at National Trust Midlands came up with the idea for the same sort of day for Archaeology\, and so #AskAnArchaeologist Day was born. \nThe first #AskAnArchaeologist day was in 2018 and was very successful. People from all over the world took part with lots of fascinating questions and discussions taking place. There’s nothing too formal about the day and there’s no such thing as a silly question – whatever you want to know about archaeology\, ask away and someone will (hopefully) know the answer. \nThat’s it really! In the meantime\, spread the word and get thinking of questions (or polishing up your answers).

SUMMARY:World Emoji Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:In recent years July the 17th has been known as World Emoji Day\, chosen because the calendar emoji is depicted with the date of the 17th as it’s image. \n Emoji’s have actually been used since the beginning of the internet however their popularity has increased on a massive scale with the modern day smartphone having them built into our messaging dashboards\, well known emoji merchandise on sale around the world and even an emoji movie in honour of them. \n In a time where we communicate verbally less and less\, opting for emails\, texts\, even dictating messages through our devices\, an emoji is a great way of expressing the sentiment behind our messages when they can quite often otherwise be lost. \n Have a look through your messages and see which is your most used emoji and what this says about you. Happy World Emoji Day!

SUMMARY:National Simplicity Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Simplicity Day was founded in honour of Henry David Thoreau\, who was born on July 12\, 1817. Thoreau was an advocate of living simply and wrote a number of well known books on the subject. \n In the complicated world that we inhabit today where mobile phone’s\, laptops and other modern day gadgets mean that we very rarely experience true peace and quiet to gather our thoughts\, what better excuse to leave the technology at home and experience the feeling of truly being in the moment. \n Happy National Simplicity Day!

SUMMARY:World Population Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:A Special Day to Raise Awareness of Population Issues \n July 11th every year is World Population Day. This event has been celebrated for almost three decades and the aim is to focus the world’s attention on the importance of population issues. \n The Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme recommended its introduction in 1989. Inspiration for this special day comes from the interest that was raised by “Five Billion Day” on 11th July\, 1987. This was the day when the world’s population reached 5 billion. \n In 1968\, the International Conference on Human Rights was held. For the first time ever\, family planning was affirmed to be a human right. The Tehran Proclamation\, adopted during the conference\, states that it is a basic right of parents to be able to decide on the number and spacing of their children. \n Millions of women\, globally\, are still not given access to safe and effective family planning methods. Which is why it has been chosen as the focus for previous years. A basic human right is to be able to get safe and effective family planning. It should also be a voluntary choice. Gender equality and women’s empowerment depend on it. Further more\, it is a key factor in reducing poverty.

SUMMARY:International Kissing Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:July the 6th is International Kissing Day which is the perfect excuse to grab that special someone in your life and pucker up. But how will people around the world be celebrating International Kissing Day? Here’s a few interesting facts on how other cultures see the kiss. \n In Italy and Greece friends\, both men and women commonly kiss each other on the lips when greeting each other\, whereas in France one air kiss on each cheek is a customary greeting.\n Modern Anthropologists believe that kissing developed from “Eskimo kissing” \, which is actually the practise of rubbing noses to take in each others breath. This is also practised amongst many Pacific Islanders as a greeting\, which has led to the theory that kissing is actually a testing of another persons scent to measure compatibility!\n In Vietnam kissing between spouses is only done in private\, with China and Japan adopting a similar attitude towards this. While people from the Netherlands actually opt for 3 kisses as a form of greeting. \n However you plan on marking the event\, Happy International Kissing Day everyone! \n   \n

SUMMARY:National BBQ Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:For the 26th year running the nation is heading to the depths of the garden shed\, ceremoniously removing the plastic cover and welcoming back into the garden the beloved barbecue\, for National BBQ Week. From the 4th – 10th July 2022\, up and down the country\, restaurants\, pubs and homes will all be encouraged to fire up the grill\, filling the air with the smells and sounds of summer. \nThe British BBQ has come a long way since the early days of charcoal encrusted pork sausages and burgers cooked to the consistency of lumps of coal. With celebrity chefs regularly taking to the outdoors to display their culinary talents\, Al fresco\, there is no end of recipes that would tempt even the most steadfast traditional BBQ chef. \nThere’s very little that can’t be cooked on a BBQ from the traditional English breakfast to a whole turkey dinner! \nWhy not make this the year to really make the BBQ part of your summer menu. Keep it simple and colourful with fruit and vegetable skewers and meltingly tender pork medallions or go big with whole Szechuan smoked duck! \nAnd it’s not just about the grilling! BBQ’s are a great way to get together with friends and family. Add some wine or ice cold beer\, good music and good company\, what better way to celebrate National BBQ Week.

SUMMARY:Children's Art Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:29 June – 19 July 2022 \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 2022\, 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 2022! 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. Support is provided for organisers with regards planning\, running and advertising events. \nTeachers who want to take part in the celebration can get hints and tips if they want to plan a gallery visit. There are also ideas to include any gallery visits into the curriculum plan and to take the idea further. \n

SUMMARY:International Sunglasses Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Look Sharp on International Sunglasses Day! \nAnyone who enjoys spending time in the sun and wants to look cool while protecting their eyes is sure to have fun on International Sunglasses Day. The event takes place on June 27th and a number of events are organised by the Vision council to help promote the importance of wearing sunglasses. \nResearch has shown that people who do not wear sunglasses risk doing substantial damage to their eyes due to the harmful effects of the sun’s rays. Even on cloudy days\, sunlight can still be strong enough to cause lasting damage to the eyes\, which means that it is important to wear sunglasses or another form of UV eye protection at all times. \nTo help celebrate and promote International Sunglasses Day\, the Vision Council is encouraging both groups and individuals to get involved by taking photographs of themselves wearing sunglasses. These photos can be shared on various social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook with the hashtags #SunglassSelfie and #NationalSunglassesDay. \nThese days sunglasses come in just about every style imaginable as well as a broad spectrum of prices\, which means that there is sure to be the perfect pair to suit anyone. Tinted contact lenses with built in UV protection are also available in both permanent and disposable types\, while people who wear eyeglasses can also find special vari-tint sunglasses that become darker according to the amount of sunlight that they are exposed to as well as sunglasses that clip onto the frames of regular eyeglasses whenever they are nee

SUMMARY:International Widows Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:International Widows Day is a global awareness day that takes place annually on 23rd June. The day was launched by the United Nations in 2010 to raise awareness of the violation of human rights that widows suffer in many countries following the death of their spouses. \n In many countries with traditional societies\, women find themselves left in poverty when their husband dies. In some countries\, these women find themselves denied of inheritance and land rights\, evicted from their homes\, ostracised and abused. The children of widows also often find themselves affected\, withdrawn from school and more vulnerable to abuse\, especially in the case of girls. \n International Widows Day works to encourage action in achieving full rights for widows\, highlighting the need for more research and statistics into violence\, discrimination and poverty suffered by widows and develop policies and programmes to address the problem.\n The ultimate goal of the day is to develop resources and policy to empower widows and allow them to have access to education\, work\, healthcare and lives free of violence and abuse. Enabling them to create a life for themselves and their children following the death of their husband and ending a cycle of poverty and abuse. \n Further details about International Widows Day can be found at www.un.org

SUMMARY:World Music Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Music Day is a connected set of free public events which takes place each year on the 21st June\, our midsummer. Each year there are events in over 120 countries and 700 cities around the world\, not including France where there were too many events to count! \nCheck out some photos from last years events \n  \nThe event is also known as Fete de la Musique  and originated in France in 1982. Since then the idea has spread across the globe with each event holding to the same simple set of principles: that the day is held on the mid-summer solstice and that all concerts and events are free and accessible to the public. \nTypically this means that the music is brought out onto the streets\, though venues are also encouraged to get in on the act!

SUMMARY:Children's Hospice Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Push yourself to your limits this Children’s Hospice Week – so we’re not pushed to ours. \nChildren’s Hospice Week is the only week in the year dedicated to raising awareness and funds for children’s hospice and palliative care services across the UK\, and the seriously ill children and young people they support. \nThis year it’s taking place between 20-26 June 2022 \nThis year for Children’s Hospice Week\, we’re asking supporters to push themselves to the limits so children’s hospices aren’t pushed to theirs. \nRight now\, families with seriously ill children are pushed to their limits. Caring for a child with serious health needs can be exhausting – and often the challenges families face are little understood. \nAt the same time\, children’s hospices are being pushed to their limits too – with more and more children in need of their care. \nWe want people to push themselves to their limits and raise vital funds this Children’s Hospice Week. \nAs the week gets closer we’ll be sharing exciting ways that you can get involved\, so stay tuned to us @Facebook\, @Instagram and @Twitter. \n

SUMMARY:Refugee Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Refugee Week takes place every year across the world in the week around World Refugee Day on the 20 June. In the UK\, Refugee Week is a nationwide programme of arts\, cultural and educational events that celebrate the contribution of refugees to the UK\, and encourages a better understanding between communities. \nRefugee Week started in 1998 as a direct reaction to hostility in the media and society in general towards refugees and asylum seekers.

Past events have included arts festivals\, exhibitions\, film screenings\, theatre and dance performances\, concerts\, football tournaments and public talks\, as well as creative and educational activities in schools. \nThrough Refugee Week we aim to provide an important opportunity for asylum seekers and refugees to be seen\, listened to and valued. \nJoin us in celebrating Refugee Week!

SUMMARY:World Refugee Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Refugee Day is held on June 20th. This is an annual event\, held on the same date each year. \nWorld Refugee Day honours the strength and courage of refugees and encourages public awareness and support of the refugees\, people who have had to flee their home lands because of conflict or natural disaster. \nRefugees are vulnerable and in need\, and are often misunderstood and maligned\, and often have very little or nothing of their posessions and little food\, they often have to leave their homes with nothing or with what they can carry. They suffer cold\, hunger\, trauma\, despair\, disease\, violence and loss. The awareness day is to help public understanding of refugees as well as raising support and help. \nAcross the world\, agencies\, both governmental and non-governmental\, work tirelessly to help refugees\, but with people being made refugees daily\, more help and awareness is constantly needed\, to ensure that refugees are treated fairly and provided for\, rather than being neglected or shunned\, and there are projects to re-settle and provide for refugees. So World Refugee Day highlights all of this. And now it also marks the launch of the ‘With Refugees’ petition\, which will state the needs and potential rights of refugees.

SUMMARY:Autistic Pride Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, organisations from across the globe celebrate Autistic Pride Day on June 18 with a variety of events. The aim of this day is to raise awareness amongst those who are not on the autistic spectrum disorder so they do not see autistic people as requiring treatment\, but as unique individuals. \nThis annual event was first celebrated by Aspies for Freedom in 2005 and they modelled Autistic Pride Day on the gay pride movement. One of the most significant aspects of the day is that it is not run by charities; it is run by autistic people themselves. Since its beginnings\, Autistic Pride Day has been a community event and not a day for other organisations to promote themselves by stifling autistic people. It is now a global celebration that takes place predominantly online. \nAutistic Pride Day is represented by the rainbow infinity symbol. This symbol is intended to represent the diversity of autistic people and the infinite possibilities and variations within the autistic community. \nAccording to representatives of Autistic Pride Day\, people with autism have unique characteristics that provide them with both rewards and challenges. Although many of the difficulties they face are because of their neurodiversity\, another factor is issues in society. For example\, society’s attitude towards autism is often one of pity or a belief that it is a condition requiring treatment. \nActivists want to shift attitudes away from this and towards acceptance and the realisation that autism is a difference rather than a disability.

SUMMARY:National Bug Busting Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Bug Busting Days:\nYou can choose any date that suits your timetable for a school Bug Busting Day\, but the most effective dates to take part are the National Bug Busting Days: 31 January\, 15 June and 31 October\, every year. Many schools across the country take part on these dates\, and by synchronizing Bug Busting across the country you can help prevent lice from circulating from head to head and back again. \nOften cases are light and easily missed and remain contagious if the Bug Busting wet combing method is not used.\nParents must learn to check the efficacy of any treatment choice because none guarantees a complete cure.

SUMMARY:World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is held on June 15th and is an annual international UN observance day on the same date each year. The day came about as a result of UN resolution 66/127. \nWith a growing global population of elderly people\, and as longevity increases\, abuse of the elderly is an increasing and serious problem that affects health and human rights and can cause death\, so it is vital to raise awareness of it and thus prevent it whenever and wherever possible. \nElder abuse is global and comes in many forms including physical\, emotional\, sexual and financial abuse and also neglect. Elderly people are human and deserve the same dignity and respect as people of all other age groups. \nElderly people are particularly vulnerable to abuse and to being unable to defend themselves and get help as fear and infirmity can be major barriers to seeking and getting help\, and sometimes spotting and challenging abuse in the elderly isn’t easy\, some are isolated having outlived family and friends\, and some are abused in institutions where abuse is not spotted or is covered up\, and in some cases the elderly are not given priority by authorities in abuse matters. \nThe UN aims to raise awareness of elder abuse and prevent it\, and on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day\, communities and the press and media can run events and highlight the danger of elder abuse and what can be done to prevent it and what to do if it is spotted.

SUMMARY:Brake's Kids Walk 2022
DESCRIPTION:It is every child’s right to be able to walk in their community without fear of traffic and pollution. Danger from traffic is a big factor in whether families are able to walk safely in the places where they live. It affects their ability to be healthy and socially active. \nChildren of all ages are at risk of being hurt or killed when walking near roads. On average\, six children are killed or seriously injured on roads in Britain every day – that’s equivalent to a whole class of children every single week. \nBrake’s Kids Walk is a great way to inspire and engage children about the dangers they face and raise awareness among parents and the wider community about the need to protect children on roads. \nIt’s also a great opportunity to fundraise for Brake and support families who have lost loved ones in road crashes.

SUMMARY:Hug Your Cat Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Hug Your Cat Day\, sometimes referred to as National Hug Your Cat Day\, is an unofficial holiday celebrated on June 4. \nIt is a perfect opportunity for all cat owners to express a little extra love to their furry companions. The origin of Hug Your Cat is unknown\, which is quite common for unofficial fun holidays. But do you really need justification to give a hug to your furry friend? Go ahead and give your cat a big squeeze! \nIf your cat is a cuddler\, consider yourself lucky. You can curl up on your couch\, cuddling with your cat. In case your pet is not fond of hugs\, make it quick and beware of claws. Not only is cuddling with cats pleasant\, it is also believed to be beneficial for human health. Cats are thought to be able to improve the psychological state of their owners by alleviating negative moods. \nAccording to studies\, cat purring helps reduce stress levels and makes us feel calmer\, which is good for our cardiovascular system. If you don’t have your own cat to hug\, ask a friend who owns a cat to lend you their pet for some much needed cuddling. We are sure they won’t deny you! Or you can adopt a cat from a local shelter and hug your new pet as much as you want. \nIf you are allergic to cats\, you can at least watch cute cat videos on YouTube or cat gifs on Tumlbr.

SUMMARY:SANDS (Stillbirth and neonatal death charity) Awareness Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:SANDS (Stillbirth and neonatal death charity) Awareness Month 2022 is in June\, and is an annual event run by SANDS (Stillbirth and neonatal death charity)\, to raise awareness of the facts and impacts relating to neonatal deaths and stillbirths. The loss of a child in pregnancy or childbirth affects parents for life\, but the wider public are not always aware of the full impact of such a tragedy. \nThe aim of the month is to raise funds as well as awareness\, to support research into neonatal death. Often the causes of death are unknown\, but many neonatal deaths and stillbirths have no apparent cause\, which is an extra anguish to the bereaved parents. Up to 15 babies a day die during pregnancy and labour or shortly after birth in the UK. \nSANDS is a national UK charity which provides free support to bereaved parents in the forms of individual and group support\, and relies on donations to be able to provide this service. \nThe awareness month offers vital fundraising opportunities to ensure that the money is raised to provide that vital support\, to make sure that parents can cope with the bereavement as best possible and understand that they are not to blame for the baby’s death when sometimes there are no answers as to why it happened and to help them to keep coping with life during a difficult time that sometimes others around them may struggle to understand or know what to say. \nThis year’s Awareness Month is using orange and blue bunting and lights to highlight events\, and organizations and individuals can take part and display posters at their fundraising and awareness events.

SUMMARY:World Milk Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Raise a glass to celebrate World Milk Day 2022 \nWe say Cheers’\, Mma manu’\, Yam sing‚to the parents who make sure there’s always a carton in the fridge\, to the hard working dairy farmers\, to the organisations who provide dairy supplements to help tackle famine and malnutrition\, to the huge network of people who help us to enjoy milk. \nAs we Raise a Glass to milk\, we connect with others and invite them to join the celebration that the goodness represents. It allows us to share the stories about all the goodness of milk and all the people who produce it. It offers a simple\, natural way to recognize the people who matter most to us ‚ in our communities\, schools and homes. \nBack in 2001\, somebody decided that the world should take a day to celebrate anything and everything related to milk. They requested that the FAO (the Food and Agriculture Organisations of the United Nations) should put forward a specific day for these festivities they selected June 1st\, and the rest his history! \nThe tradition of celebrating World Milk Day on June 1st came from the fact that many countries were already celebrating World Milk Day on or around this date. A date in late May was originally proposed\, but some countries felt that they already had too many holidays around this time. As a result\, June 1st became the special day dedicated to milk. \nWorld Milk Day puts a lot of attention on milk and does a great job in publicising activities connected with the milk industry. The fact that many countries around the globe all choose this specific day for World Milk Day shows that milk is a food that is cherished worldwide.

SUMMARY:World Hunger Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Everyone Deserves to Eat\, Support World Hunger Day 2022 \nIt has been estimated that almost 800 million people in the world don’t have enough food to eat. This is quite a staggering figure. In 2011\, The Hunger Project started an initiative known as World Hunger Day. Celebrating sustainable solutions to hunger and poverty is the aim of this day. \nWhat is The Hunger Project? \nIt is a global organisation committed to finding a tenable solution to world hunger. Leaders of this organisation include business executives\, heads of state and experts in women’s rights and social justice. It was founded in 1977 and is a worldwide\, non-profit group of like-minded people. \nWhat You Can do to Show Your Support \nOne of the most obvious ways is to make a donation to the The Hunger Project Trust. Money raised will go to help both men and women in developing countries become agents of their own development. There is a Social Media Toolkit that can be used for sharing posts on Facebook\, Twitter and Instagram. You can tell your friends about World Hunger Day and ask for their support. \nAre You Brave Enough to Try a Week Without Sugar? \nAnyone interested in showing their support is being encouraged to give up sugar for one week. That means no added\, processed sugar or artificial sweeteners. It won’t be easy but is a good way to show support for all the millions of people around the world who live below the poverty line and go to bed hungry every night.

SUMMARY:European Neighbours' Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Every Year at the End of May is European Neighbour’s Day \nNeighbour’s Day celebrations take place all over the world. The European Neighbour’s Day is held at the end of may and encourages residents groups and housing organisations to participate and organise their own individual events. \nWhat is the Goal of Neighbour’s Day? \nNeighbour’s day is organised by the European Federation of Local Solidarity. The aim of the day is to promote better community communication and cohesion. Social bonds are becoming thinner and people are leading more solitary lives. Neighbour’s Day is meant to counteract this and encourages people to have fun getting together. \nThe celebration was first launched in Paris in 2000. Ever since then\, more and more countries have been taking part. Last year\, for example\, there were more than 30 million participants from 36 different countries. \nHow You Can Take Part \nAll it takes to participate is the organising of a party with your neighbours. It could be in your own garden\, out in the street or in a local community hall. The idea is to get people together so that neighbours who rarely speak can talk to each other and have fun together. \nSupport is available from EFLS and there is even an award that housing associations\, organisers and mayors can put themselves forward for. A promotional video\, guide\, timetable and press kit is also provided for organisers needs.

SUMMARY:International Missing Children's Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:International Missing Children’s Day is an awareness event that is observed every year on 25th May. The aims of the day are to place a spotlight on the issue of child abduction\, educate parents on safeguarding measures to protect their children and also honour those who have never been found and celebrate those who have. \nMissing Children’s Day began as an observance in the USA in 1983. The date was chosen following the disappearance of 6-year-old Etan Patz on 25th May 1979 from New York City. International Missing Children’s Day which observes the same date was launched a number of years later in 2001 and is now observed all over the world. \nThis awareness event is run in conjunction with the Global Missing Children’s Network. The network\, which formed in 1998\, has 23 member countries who all connect in order to share information and best practice\, working towards improving the effectiveness and success rate of missing children investigations. \nOn International Missing Children’s day\, there is a massive\, worldwide social media campaign where participants are encouraged to share images of those who are still missing on all forms of social media as well as celebrating stories of those who have been found.

SUMMARY:National Epilepsy Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:From May 24 to May 30\, National Epilepsy Week will be taking place to raise awareness for those affected by epilepsy\, what epilepsy is\, who’s affected and what can be done to help those who suffer from this condition. \n What is epilepsy? \n Epilepsy is a neurological condition that affects the brain and causes recurring seizures or fits in people. Due to an uncontrolled increase of excess electrical activity in the brain interfering with the normal functions\, this causes a short interruption to the relay of messages in the brain. \n Who’s affected? \n Approximately 500\,000 people in the England are diagnosed with epilepsy\, affecting people of all ages\, from newborns to the elderly. \n What can be done to help? \n Learning to recognise the symptoms of a seizure is a great place to start helping those affected\, as well as knowing what to do when a seizure occurs to minimise the harm done to both the person and those around them. You can also look into lobbying for more support for those affected by epilepsy\, so they can get the treatment and care they deserve. \n All in all\, epilepsy is a condition affecting more people than you might think\, and by knowing the early warning signs and what to do when a seizure occurs can make a big difference helping those affected by the chronic condition.

SUMMARY:Water Saving Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:The UK has less available water per person than most other European countries. London is drier than Istanbul\, and the South East of England has less water available per person than some African countries. \nSurprised? Climate change\, population increases and changes in lifestyle have led to increasing pressure being put on our water supplies. The expected increase in world population up to 10 billion people will decline the available freshwater resources by half in 2050. \nAs a result\, it is more important than ever that we take care with how we use water. Taking positive action now can help to ensure that there is enough water to go around\, for us\, for businesses and for the environment. \nSave Money \nSaving water saves money. Installing simple devices such as water-efficient taps and showers will save both water and energy by minimising the use of heated water. An efficient showerhead could reduce household bills by up to £120 per year. Leaky loos waste around 400 litres of clean water a day – the equivalent of having extra two people living in your house! \nClimate Change \nOur use of water and energy are closely linked. Operational emissions from the water industry account for nearly 1% of the UK’s total. And a major source of emissions is from using hot water within homes. Reducing the length of your shower or the amount of hot water you use for cleaning dishes therefore has a significant impact on your personal carbon footprint. Using water wisely also helps us adapt to climate change – it means the water we do have goes further. \nThe Environment \nUsing water efficiently means that we can minimise the amount of additional water resources being taken out of our rivers and aquifers\, especially as demand is rising. \nResilient Water Supplies \nAs water resources become scarcer\, building new infrastructure like reservoirs and desalination plants\, or finding new sources of supply\, becomes increasingly expensive. If we save water that is otherwise wasted\, we can reduce pressure on existing infrastructure and offset the need for more. Using water wisely also makes our supply more resilient against impacts from climate change\, such as droughts. \nReady to start saving?

SUMMARY:World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development 2022
DESCRIPTION:Three-quarters of the world’s major conflicts have a cultural dimension. Bridging the gap between cultures is urgent and necessary for peace\, stability and development. \n Cultural diversity is a driving force of development\, not only with respect to economic growth\, but also as a means of leading a more fulfilling intellectual\, emotional\, moral and spiritual life. This is captured in the seven culture conventions\, which provide a solid basis for the promotion of cultural diversity. Cultural diversity is thus an asset that is indispensable for poverty reduction and the achievement of sustainable development. \n At the same time\, acceptance and recognition of cultural diversity in particular through innovative use of media and Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) are conducive to dialogue among civilizations and cultures\, respect and mutual understanding. \n In 2001\, UNESCO adopted the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity and in December 2002\, the UN General Assembly\, in its resolution 57/249\, declared May 21 to be the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development. \n The day provides us with an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to advance the four goals of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions adopted on 20 October 2005: \n Support sustainable systems of governance for culture \n Achieve a balanced flow of cultural goods and services and increase mobility of artists and cultural professionals \n Integrate culture in sustainable development frameworks \n Promote human rights and fundamental freedoms

SUMMARY:International Museums Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:IMD (International Museum Day) is a global day celebration that takes place annually around or on 18 May. ICOM (International Council of Museums) coordinates this event. The event always highlights a theme that keeps changing each year that’s at the heart of the preoccupations of the international museum community. The International Museum Day gives the chance for professionals of museums to meet people and inform them about the challenges museums face. \nFollowing museums’ definition that ICOM provides\, a museum is a permanent\, non-profit institution that is in the service of society as well as its development. It’s open to the public to acquire\, conserve\, research\, communicate and exhibit the humanity tangible and intangible heritage plus its environment for enjoyment\, study and education purposes. Therefore\, IMD serves as a platform for raising public awareness on the part museums play today in the improvement of society\, on an international level. \nEach year since 1977\, ICOM has organised International Museum Day\, which represents a unique moment for the international museum community. \nThe objective of International Museum Day (IMD) is to raise awareness about the fact that\, “Museums are an important means of cultural exchange\, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding\, cooperation and peace among peoples.” Organised on 18 May each year or around this date\, the events and activities planned to celebrate International Museum Day can last a day\, a weekend or an entire week. IMD was celebrated for the first time 40 years ago. All around the world\, more and more museums participate in International Museum Day. Last year\, more than 37\,000 museums participated in the event in about 158 countries and territories.

SUMMARY:Dementia Action / Awareness Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Dementia Action Week is a national event that sees the UK public taking action to improve the lives of people affected by dementia. In 2022\, the Week will take place on 16 – 22 May. \nStand up for your loved ones this Dementia Action Week \nCoronavirus has exposed the fact that families facing dementia have been failed by a social care system that is inadequate\, hard to access\, costly and unfair. People with dementia have been worst hit by the pandemic\, accounting for a quarter of all coronavirus deaths in the UK. \nThe time has come for governments to set right decades of unfairness and underinvestment and to build a social care system we can all be proud of. \nThis Dementia Action Week\, Alzheimer’s Society needs your help to call on the Government to rebuild the social care system in 2022. Will you get involved and show you care? \n34.5 million of us know someone living with dementia in the UK. Together we can bring about change. \nOne in three of us born in the UK today will go on to develop dementia in our lifetime\, and there will be one million people living with dementia by 2025 making dementia care one of the greatest challenges facing our society. With few existing treatments\, it’s social care not the NHS that people affected by dementia rely on. People with dementia represent the majority of social care users\, so it is vital that the care system is made fit for purpose. \nA new system we can be proud of \nWe need system that means every person living with dementia\, and every carer\, can get the support they need to stay happy\, healthy and independent for as long as possible. This means quality care that is right for them\, free and easy to get\, no matter where you live – like the NHS. \nThe time has come to set right decades of unfairness and underinvestment and for Governments to create a legacy to be admired. \nAlzheimer’s Society won’t stop until everyone can access the dementia care they so critically need\, now and in the future.

SUMMARY:National Stationery Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:If you think this is a celebration of not moving\, then your spelling needs a bit of work National Stationery Week is all about cheerleading the act of writing by hand\, and encouraging people from all around the globe to share details of their favourite pens\, pencils\, sharpeners\, and whatever fills their pencil cases. If they have one. It’s certainly an odd get-together\, but one that may be taking advantage of a shift in trends that may force people to abandon the venture of handwriting altogether. \nIn a world where people like us are typing this on a keyboard instead of writing it by hand\, it might be quite a good initiative; for all we know\, handwriting may be a trade as dead as lamp-lighting\, town crying or door-to-door sales. So\, get your Staedtler Noris school pencils\, your Helix 30cm rulers and your Bic for Her range of comfortable\, female-friendly medium ballpoint pens\, and go wild for a week.

SUMMARY:ME Awareness Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:ME Awareness Day The Birthday of Florence Nightingale \n M.E. Awareness Week was established by patient advocates and is focused on May 12th\, the birthday of Florence Nightingale\, who was believed to have suffered with M.E. \n From 1857 Nightingale found herself often disabled by poor health\, which some suggest may well have been Chronic Fatigue Syndrome(CFS).

SUMMARY:National Lost Sock Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:What is National Lost Sock Memorial Day?\nNational Lost Sock Memorial Day or NLSMD is A Special Day for Mourning All Your Lost Socks. \nOf course this is very much an unofficial holiday\, but why shouldn’t your lost socks be remembered. Let’s face it we’ve all got a pile of odd socks lurking in the back of the sock drawer. Some of us even like to make a big thing about wearing them. But does anyone know where all the other odd socks go? \nWho Decided There Should be a National Lost Sock Day?\nThere have been hours spent pondering the origin of this quirky celebration\, and so far nobody seems to know. But does it really matter who thought of the idea? It’s a great one whoever it was. \nWhen is National Lost sock Memorial Day?\nTaking place annually\, National Lost Sock Memorial Day falls on the 9th May. \nHow to Celebrate National Lost Sock Day\nThere are no tried and tested ways to celebrate and no recognised set of rules for the day. So why don’t we offer a few suggestions\, and you get to take it from there. \nThe best way to celebrate is by wearing a pair of odd socks in remembrance of the socks that are missing. \nPerhaps you could encourage the kids to go on a treasure hunt and see if they can find some of the socks that have disappeared. \nUniting long lost pairs would be the ultimate celebration. – If searching for them fails\, then perhaps it’s about time you found something else to do with the odd ones. Did you know they make great ties for in the garden? Make your kids some odd sock puppets. Odd socks also make great cleaning cloths and dusters. \nAt the end of the day\, take a few moments and give your lost socks a minutes silence in their honour. After all\, they made the ultimate sacrifice.

SUMMARY:Mother's Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:The second Sunday in May is Mother’s Day in most countries. \nThis day is observed in many countries in Africa\, Europe\, Asia\, Australia and Americas\, but the tradition to celebrate the holiday is native to the USA. Although world-wide celebration of Mother’s Day is influenced by different traditions\, they are all common in origin. The very first Mother’s Day was celebrated in 1908 in the USA\, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial service to honor her mother. \nThen she started a campaign to establish Mother’s Day as a national holiday\, and later as international.The U.S Congress passed a law on May 8\, 1914\, that designated the second Sunday in May to be Mother’s Day. The holiday was proclaimed by President Woodrow Wilson on the next day as the holiday when all American citizens raised the flag in honor of the mothers\, whose sons had died in war. \nMother’s Day became very popular in other countries. The holiday includes churchgoing\, distribution of flowers (carnations are symbolic flowers) and family dinners. More than 80 countries around the world celebrate Mother’s Day according to the American traditions.

SUMMARY:National Mills Weekend 2022
DESCRIPTION:  \nNational Mills Weekend is the annual festival of our milling heritage and provides you with a fantastic opportunity to visit mills\, many of which are not usually open to the public. \nIn 2022 it will take place online on the 7th and 8th May and we hope even more mills than in previous years will open their \ndoors and welcome visitors. Until the advent of the steam engine\, wind and watermills provided the only source of power for many different processes – from making flour\, paper\, cloth to hammering metal and extracting oils. You \ncan explore mills that produced\, or still produce these products\, some restored to working order\, some derelict\, some still working commercially. \nSearch for mills open in your area: \nTo find the mills open in your area\, search for your county in our Windmills and Watermills pages. Given the number of mills open\, we have divided the mills by their type – Windmills or Watermills. \nA new aid for visiting mills\, especially over National Mills Weekend. \nThose of you with Android on your phone can install a free app that means you can have the information from the website with you\, even when you are out and about\, quite possibly without an internet connection to contact the site. You can get it at: \nhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details \nThe app links with your other apps\, such as mapping to give you directions to the various mills\, and if you do have an internet connection\, you can use it to pull up more information about many of the mills from Windmill World and the Mills Archive. \nThe app will be updated as details of this year’s Mills Weekend are finalized at various mills.

SUMMARY:International Day Of The Midwife 2022
DESCRIPTION:Every year on May 5th\, the International Day of the Midwife takes place. While you’d think it was an incredibly long-marked awareness day\, it wasn’t made official until 1992\, when it was launched formally by the International Confederation of Midwives. Themes for the day have included healthy families\, newborn babies\, partnerships between midwives and mothers\, and leading the way with quality care. \n The IDM encourages midwives to make the day and raise money for good causes\, whether that’s by organising a concert or march\, setting up a stall to educate others on midwifery\, holding a meeting\, or even inviting a celebrity\, government minister or expert to speak or open an event.

SUMMARY:World Maternal Mental Health Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:HELPING MOTHERS\, HELPING BABIES \nIn many countries\, as many as 1 in 5 new mothers experiences some type of perinatal mood and anxiety disorder (PMADs). These illnesses frequently go unnoticed and untreated\, often with tragic and long-term consequences to both mother and child. \nRAISING AWARENESS \nNO ONE IS IMMUNE \nWomen of every culture\, age\, income level and race can develop perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Symptoms can appear any time during pregnancy and the first 12 months after childbirth. There are effective and well-researched treatment options available to help women recover. \nINFLUENCING POLICY \nIllness is not a crime! \nWomen are sometimes considered to be criminals instead of patients needing treatment\, in the case of infanticide. Through building awareness\, it aims to prevent these tragedies and stands for just and scientifically based care. \nCHANGING ATTITUDE \nNo health without mental health! \nIncreasing awareness will drive social change with a goal toward improving the quality of care for women experiencing all types of PMADs\, and reducing the stigma of maternal mental illness. We are encouraging mental health professionals\, friends and relatives of new moms to ask her how she’s really feeling and encourage her to seek help.

SUMMARY:Star Wars Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Since 2011 May the 4th has been known across Star Wars Fandom as Star Wars Day and was chosen due to the pun “May The Fourth be with You”. In fact Star Wars fans have bought into the celebration so much that a second date has since been created\, with May the 5th becoming known as “Revenge of The Fifth” \, a play on words from Episode III – Revenge Of The Sith\, where fans join the ‘Dark Side’ by celebrating the Sith Lords from the Star Wars series. \n Although Star Wars Day wasn’t created by George Lucas it has since been embraced by Lucasfilm as an annual celebration of the day\, with Disney – who purchased Lucasfilm and the rights to the Star Wars franchise in 2012\, also holding many events in celebration of May 4th. \n Never ones to be left out of a party we’ve popped a few interesting facts about the Star Wars franchise below in honour of the day. May the Fourth Be With You! \n Many of the buildings constructed to be used in shots Tatooine are still standing in Tunisia. In fact\, some of them are used by locals. Commemorative Star Wars coins became legal tender on the Pacific island of Niue in 2011.\n It took as many as 10 puppeteers using both hands to operate Jabba the Hutt.\n The trash in the Death Star garbage compactor scene was REAL. Apparently\, the smell was so bad that Mark Hamill burst a blood vessel from trying to hold his breath\, and the camera angle had to be adjusted for the rest of the scene so as not to show his injury. As for Peter Mayhew’s yak-hair Chewbacca suit? It reeked for the rest of production.\n The voice of Yoda is done by Frank Oz\, who also happens to voice Miss Piggy from The Muppets. The alien race of ET: The Extra-Terrestrial makes an appearance in Episode 1: The Phantom Menace- officially connecting the worlds of Lucas and Spielberg sci-fi.\n Yoda from the prequels was almost a real-life monkey in a green mask carrying a cane\, however a monkey expert on set threw a spanner in the works. One of the crew who worked with apes in 2001: A Space Odyssey quickly pointed out\, Look\, the monkey’s just going to pull off the mask over and over again. It’s never going to work. The team soon enlisted Muppet master-crafter Jim Henson\, who suggested casting Frank Oz (formerly the voice of Miss Piggy) to bring Yoda to life.

SUMMARY:Sun Awareness Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:The British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) currently runs a national campaign around skin cancer called Sun Awareness\, which includes National Sun Awareness Week in May. This campaign is overseen by the BAD’s Skin Cancer Prevention Committee\, comprised of leading medical professionals with expertise in skin cancer\, vitamin D and public health messaging. \nSun Awareness is the British Association of Dermatologists’ annual campaign to raise awareness of skin cancer. The campaign runs from April to September annually and includes Sun Awareness Week in May. The campaign is two-pronged and combines prevention and detection advice. The first aim is to encourage people to regularly self-examine for skin cancer. The second is to teach people about the dangers of sunburn and excessive tanning\, and to discourage people from using sun beds\, in light of the associated risks of skin cancer. In addition to public education about the dangers of sun bed use\, the BAD has also been involved in campaigning for legislation to regulate the sun bed industry and is continuing to push towards further and improved regulation. \nThis year’s Sun Awareness Week will be held from the 2nd-8th May 2022. \nIt’s quite easy to be safe when playing outside\, with the simplest and most important thing to do being putting on sun screen. Make sure you put on a hat\, or cover your skin. It’s the easy things like this that save your skin from harmful and painful damage caused by the sun when over-exposed. \nWhat damage can the sun cause? \nOver-exposure to the sun’s rays can cause serious damage to your body\, with two common types of cancers. One being non-melanoma\, and melanoma\, which is by far the most dangerous and deadly skin cancer. This simple reason is enough to look after your skin and stay in the shade and be safe in the sun. \nWho is affected? \nEveryone is affected by damage to the skin from the sun\, in fact last year\, 35% of people in the UK were burnt at least once\, with 28% of those being burnt more than three times during the year. \nSo this year\, remember to wear sunscreen\, wear a t-shirt\, stay in the shade and during Sun Awareness Week spread the word of sun safety and the dangers of over exposure!

SUMMARY:Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week is a weeklong campaign dedicated to talking about mental illness while pregnant or after having a baby. We are dedicated to signposting to support for all mums and families and focus on advocating for those affected by Maternal Mental Health\, to access the information and help they require to enable recovery. \nWho is it organised by? \nIn 2014 a small group of 11 individuals including women with lived experience\, came together with the dream of creating an awareness campaign for maternal mental health. We formed and created the Perinatal Mental Health Partnership (PMHP) and in 2017\, falling within the week that World Maternal Mental Health Day ran\, we launched the first ever UK Maternal Mental Health Matters Awareness Week. \nWe recently welcomed three new members – The Motherhood Group\, Prosperity’s and Roshni 2 Project. \nWhat is this year’s theme? \nWe are delighted to announce the theme for this year’s Awareness Week is ‘Journeys to Recovery’. Over the last year\, the ways in which services have changed to be delivered in alternative ways\, due to Covid\, has shown that the approach to recovery has been individual. When surveying people about the ideas for this year’s Week\, we received a huge number of requests for us to highlight how to seek support for mums and families during this unusual time\, alongside detailing the different ways in which recovery can take place. \nWe will provide a supportive platform where we can reassure families and signpost them to vital resources and safe support which is what people need most at this time. This will allow us to show how medications\, various therapies and alternative approaches such as Art / Craft therapy and Mindfulness can be used to create differing Journeys to Recovery. Everyone will recover but watch in their own individual way. \nThe official hashtag for the week will be; \n#myjourneytorecovery \nDo follow us on our social media channels: \nFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/PerinatalMHPartnershipUK/ \nTwitter- https://twitter.com/PMHPUK \nInstagram- https://www.instagram.com/perinatalmhpartnership

SUMMARY:National Teen Self Esteem Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:May is National Teen Self Esteem Month and it’s a great opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of ensuring our teens are self aware and feel confident about themselves. The effect that their self esteem has on their physical and mental well being is of paramount importance and a crucial focus of the awareness month. \n The teenage years are a notoriously difficult time for the majority of young people and therefore this is a fantastic way of checking in and ensuring we are doing everything that we can to support and nurture the teens in our lives- be it family or friends. On top of the physical\, hormonal and emotional changes going on\, teens also have to contend with the added pressures of social changes\, new relationships\, increased educational expectations\, peer pressure and impossible societal standards perpetuated by the media\, society and often parents. \n Self esteem is often easily damaged and difficult to repair\, so with the added complication of being a teenager it is highly understandable that teenagers can be particularly fragile. \n There are many ways that we can engage more positively with teenagers and the character of the individual young person may respond more effectively to particular expertise and knowledge\, however there are some really simple ways in which we can promote positive self esteem. And these tips aren’t restricted to assisting only teenagers. Perhaps we could all make use of them: \n Lead by example \n Avoid negative self talk and criticism. \n Ensure you have open lines of communication – and if you don’t\, get advice on how to create this. \n Ensure you can be trusted \n Guide and advise encouraging their own decision making within reasonable parameters. \n Give them space \n Listen and take an interest in their developing lives. \n Many businesses and organisations seize the opportunity to support this awareness campaign in order to offer their services as a way of supporting teens. However it is not always necessary to engage with these businesses and organisations as sometimes just a chat and some special time with your teen is enough to encourage and strengthen their self esteem.

SUMMARY:International Dance Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:UNESCO has a habit of reserving 24 hours for everything in the field of performing arts\, so it’s perhaps no surprise that there’s an annual International Dance Day. It has been earmarked as a celebration for anyone who attaches value and importance to dance\, and acts as a wake-up-call for governments\, politicians and institutions which have not yet recognised its value. \nWhile this sounds just a little bit overboard\, you’d be surprised at how many places frown upon or outright ban the act of dancing. Even in the US\, strict Southern Baptists don’t dance\, and this led to the famous hard work of Chicago teen Ren McCormack\, who proved them wrong and overcame the community through the medium of dance in the hard-hitting 1984 documentary Footloose.

SUMMARY:Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day is a non-profit educational program that revolves around parents taking their children to work for a day. In the United States\, the event is held on the fourth Thursday in April. \nIn 1992\, the Ms. Foundation for Women launched Take Our Daughters to Work Day. The first event was held on April 22\, 1993. Schools across the United States were provided with literature and other materials for incorporating career exploration in their curricula on the day before or after Take Our Daughters to Work Day. \nIn 2003\, the program was expanded to include boys. However\, most companies that took part in the program had allowed both girls and boys to participate since the beginning. This change allowed both girls and boys to explore careers\, contributing to fighting with gender stereotypes. \nIn 2007\, the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day program became its own separate foundation. It is no longer organized by the Ms. Foundation for Women\, although Gloria Steinem (one of the Foundation’s founders) is a member of the program’s board of directors. \nOn the fourth Thursday in April\, many employees across the USA invite their children to work. The program also encourages them to invite children from shelters and residential programs.

SUMMARY:Parental Alienation Awareness Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:April 25 is Parental Alienation Awareness Day (PAAD) in the USA\, Canada and Bermuda. \n This awareness day was created as a part of global awareness campaign about parental alienation. Parental alienation is described ” a behavior by a parent\, or an adult a child trusts\, such as a grandmother/father\, aunt\, uncle\, etc.\, whether conscious or unconscious\, that could create alienation in the relationship between a child and a parent.” \n Also known as Hostile Aggressive Parenting\, the behaviour displayed can be mild and temporary but also extreme and ongoing. Obvioulsy any kind of behavior that is displayed as a result of parental alienation can be damaging upon a child and could have potentially life long consequences should the behaviour of both carer and child not be recognised and effectively addressed. \n Not to be confused with Parental Alienation Syndrome which relates to the behaviour of the child\, Parental Alienation focuses on the adults behaviour. \n Parental Alienation Awareness Day recognised on April 25th aims to highlight to care givers the effects that PA could have on children and educate adults in order to identify signs that either they or others are behaving in a manner that could affect the children in their care. Parental Alienation usually involves one care giver attempting to turn a child against another often with a view to persuade the child that they wish to exclude the other parent from their life permanently. Typical types of behaviour displayed by parents can include: \n   constantly badmouthing/ belittling the other;\n   limiting the other’s contact;\n   forbidding the child from discussing the other parent;\n   creating the impression that the other parent dislikes or does not love the child; or\n   trying to force the child to reject the parent to make the former partner a former parent as well. \n The idea of PAAD belongs to Sarvy Emo from Canada. Emo introduced the observance of the day in the late 2005 with the original date on March 28. This date was changed to April 25 for marketing reasons and was put into practice in 2006. \n With awareness comes education\, and with education\, comes the power to stop the mental and emotional abuse of children.-Sarvy Emo \n To find out more about this awareness day\, visit one of the many dedicated websites aimed at raising awareness of the behaviours that could have a long lasting effect on our kids.

SUMMARY:World Book Night 2022
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve never found a book you’ve liked\, there’s a good chance that you’ve not tried that many books and World Book Night is here to prove to both children and adults that there are plenty of opportunities to get lost in a good book. Every year\, the occasion is coordinated by the Reading Agency\, a national charity that aims to help people become confident and enthusiastic readers. \n World Book Night celebrates both reading and books every year on April 23rd\, when books are distributed throughout the UK to specifically\, but not exclusively\, reach those who don’t often get the opportunity to read – hospitals\, prisons\, homeless shelters and care homes are a particular focus. Those who love a good book are asked to give out their own books to similarly affected people in their own communities or the wider UK. \n For the past 6 years World Book Night has also been celebrated in the USA as well as the UK and Ireland\, with almost 50\,000 people giving away a million books across the three different countries.

SUMMARY:International Dark-Sky Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Join the International Dark-Sky Association for seven days of celebration\, learning\, and action! \n2022 International Dark Sky Week is\, April 22 – 30th! \nCreated in 2003 by high-school student Jennifer Barlow\, International Dark Sky Week has grown to become a worldwide event and a key component of Global Astronomy Month. Each year it is held in April around Astronomy Day. \nIn explaining why she started the week\, Barlow said\, I want people to be able to see the wonder of the night sky without the effects of light pollution. The universe is our view into our past and our vision into the future. I want to help preserve its wonder. \nInternational Dark Sky Week draws attention to the problems associated with light pollution and promotes simple solutions available to mitigate it. \nAlso read 5 Ways to Celebrate Dark Sky Week! \nLight Pollution Matters \nThe nighttime environment is a crucial natural resource for all life on Earth\, but the glow of uncontrolled outdoor lighting has hidden the stars\, radically changing the nighttime environment. \nBefore the advent of electric light in the 20th century\, our ancestors experienced a night sky brimming with stars that inspired science\, religion\, philosophy\, art and literature including some of Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets. \nThe common heritage of a natural night sky is rapidly becoming unknown to the newest generations. In fact\, millions of children across the globe will never see the Milky Way from their own homes. \nWe are only just beginning to understand the negative repercussions of losing this natural resource. A growing body of research suggests that the loss of the natural nighttime environment is causing serious harm to human health and the environment. \nFor nocturnal animals in particular\, the introduction of artificial light at night could very well be the most devastating change humans have made to their environment. Light pollution also has deleterious effects on other organisms such as migrating birds\, sea turtle hatchlings\, and insects. \nHumans are not immune to the negative effects of light in their nighttime spaces. Excessive exposure to artificial light at night\, particularly blue light\, has been linked to increased risks for obesity\, depression\, sleep disorders\, diabetes and breast cancer.

In Orthodoxy\, the season of Pascha begins on Pascha and ends with the coming of the fortieth day\, the Feast of the Ascension. \n Easter and the holidays that are related to it are moveable feasts in that they do not fall on a fixed date in the Gregorian or Juliancalendars which follow only the cycle of the sun; rather\, its date is determined on a lunisolar calendar similar to the Hebrew calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established two rules\, independence of the Jewish calendar and worldwide uniformity\, which were the only rules for Easter explicitly laid down by the council. No details for the computation were specified; these were worked out in practice\, a process that took centuries and generated a number of controversies. It has come to be the first Sunday after the full moon that occurs on or soonest after 21 March\, but calculations vary in East and West. Details of this complicated computation are found below in the section Date. \n Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover by much of its symbolism\, as well as by its position in the calendar. In many languages\, the words for “Easter” and “Passover” are identical or very similar. Easter customs vary across the Christian world\, and includesunrise services\, exclaiming the Paschal greeting\, clipping the church\, and decorating Easter eggs\, a symbol of the empty tomb. The Easter lily\, a symbol of the resurrection\, traditionally decorates the chancel area of churches on this day and for the rest of Eastertide. Additional customs that have become associated with Easter and are observed by both Christians and some non-Christians include egg hunting\, the Easter Bunny\, and Easter parades. There are also various traditionalEaster foods that vary regionally.

SUMMARY:Good Friday 2022
DESCRIPTION:Good Friday is a Christian religious holiday commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. The holiday is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday\, and may coincide with the Jewish observance of Passover. It is also known as Holy Friday\, Great Friday\, Black Friday\, or Easter Friday\, though the last term properly refers to the Friday in Easter week. \n Good Friday is a widely-instituted legal holiday in many national governments around the world\, including in most Western countries(especially among Anglican and Catholic nations) as well as in 12 U.S. states. Some governments\, such as Germany\, have laws prohibiting certain acts\, such as dancing and horse racing\, that are seen as profaning the solemn nature of the day

SUMMARY:Education and Sharing Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:What is Education and Sharing Day 2019 and when is it?\n Founded by President Jimmy Carter in 1978\, Education and Sharing Day 2022 is on April 12th\, and is an annual USA day of observance. \n Education and Sharing Day was founded in honour of\, and on the 80th Birthday of\, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson\, commonly known as ‘The Rebbe’\, who was considered to be one of the greatest 20th Century spiritual leaders. \n Education and Sharing Day falls on the 11th of the Jewish month of Nissan each year\, and as the Jewish and Gregorian Calendars are different and don’t synchronize\, the date of Education and Sharing Day on the Western Calendar is different each year\, but it is usually during March or April. \n Education and Sharing Day honours the Rabbi’s commitment to improving Judaism and mankind through culture and education\, especially by founding centres for culture\, education and socialisation for young Jewish people. These centres are known as Chabad Houses\, and are mainly located on or near university campuses. Chabad houses are still going strong and providing community and culture for Jewish Students. \n But Shneerson’s work wasn’t limited to Jewish youth\, he made a significant contribution to the education and betterment of the population in general. And that is also honoured on Education and Sharing Day. \n Education and Sharing Day is marked by events and parades\, some parades are quite big and well known\, for example the parade in Crown Heights\, Brooklyn\, New York\, which is run by Tzivos Hashem (Jewish Child International).

SUMMARY:Parkinson's Awareness Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Parkinson’s Awareness Week kicks starts on World Parkinson’s Day- Sunday 10th April 2022 and ends on Saturday 16th April. As there is no cure for Parkinson’s\, this is an annual opportunity to raise awareness and much needed funds to support people with living with the condition\, to improve quality of life and to ensure that people live better for longer. \nThis year\, the theme will be Mental Health in Parkinson’s and Parkinson’s Care and Support UK will be launching the first ever Parkinson’s Mental Health Support Hub\, exclusively for people affected by Parkinson’s. Up to 50% of people with Parkinson’s will suffer from Anxiety or Depression at some point during their illness. These conditions are often overlooked and undiagnosed.

When left untreated\, Anxiety and Depression reduces quality of life. \nJoin in this awareness week to find out more about mental health and Parkinson’s. We have a calendar of activities taking place every day from the 10th April- 16th April 2022 where everyone can get involved. \nAll of our work is funded by the public through donations. Help us to improve life of more people affected by Parkinson’s today\, not tomorrow. To donate or fundraise now to support any area of our work including the Parkinson’s Mental Health Support Hub\, Respite Care\, Research\, Exercise Programmes and Neurological Physiotherapy\, visit http://www.parkinsonscare.org.uk/donate.

SUMMARY:National Siblings Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Siblings day\, usually held on the 10th of April is a holiday that celebrates siblings relationships. April 10th is fast approaching\, and you should probably be calling your siblings to hatch up a plan on how to spend the day. Siblings are an incredible gift from God and anyone who has a brother or sister should not let the day just pass by without celebrating them. \n Unfortunately\, siblings day is not recognized by federal governments and the day is therefore not necessarily a national holiday. That means you’ll have to wake up and get to work just like any other day. However\, that is not a reason not to celebrate it. You can always take time off your busy schedule and get together with your siblings for some quality time. \n America has been proactive in trying to get the day recognized as a national holiday by federal governments. 49 states in the United States have been in the forefront pushing for this agenda. India and Australia have also made inroads in getting the day marked appropriately. \n The siblings day organization has also made tremendous efforts to get this important holiday recognized. The holiday is an invention of one Claudia Evart\, who invented it in a bid to celebrate the lives of her sister and brother who had died while still young.It is not every day that we get to be with our siblings especially when we grow up. Get involved in the national siblings day and take time to appreciate your brother or sister. You can join the conversation about siblings day through the hashtag #NationalSiblingsDay

SUMMARY:Siblings Day in the USA 2022
DESCRIPTION:Siblings Day (also National Siblings Day) is observed annually on April 10. \n This day was created to honor the siblings relations\, which are known as the most long-lasting ones. Claudia Evart founded the Siblings Day Foundation in 1997. She wanted to honor her brother and sister who passed away when they were children. \n The first observation of Siblings Day was held in 1998 and in 1999 the foundation achieved non-profit status. 39 states recognized Siblings Day in 1998 and celebrate it annually. \n On April 6\, 2005\, the holiday was officially introduced into the Congressional Record of the United States Congress by Carolyn Maloney. Unlike Father’s Day and Mother’s Day this holiday isn’t federally recognized. The Siblings Day Foundation is working to change this and one day this holiday will be observed in every state.Siblings Day is intended to be a celebration of relationships of sisters and brothers. \n As far as 79% of all children the U.S. have siblings\, this holiday is very important for every family. Celebrate Siblings Day sending a loving gift or flowers to you brother or sister and invite them over for dinner. This will remind you and your siblings\, how important you are to each other.

SUMMARY:World Health Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Health Day’s message is simple: giving people access to healthcare without the prospect of financial hardship. This is regardless of where they’re from; they could be in Africa\, Asia\, South America or the United States. What matters to the World Health Organisation (WHO)\, the group behind it\, is that there’s Health for All. \n It has its reasons\, too. The WHO asserts\, following countless studies\, that countries which invest in universal healthcare will make a sound investment in their human capital; indeed\, access to a very bottom line of care and financial protection will not only truly improve someone’s health and life expectancy\, but also protects countries from epidemics\, reduces poverty and the risk of hunger\, creates jobs\, drives economic growth and enhances gender equality. \n That’s quite the ideal to push towards\, and a day that ought to be celebrated as much as any other on our calendar!

SUMMARY:International Children's Book Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Helping to bring their imagination to life\, books inspire\, educate and encourage children to exercise their mind. \n International Children’s Book Day 2022 is designed to do just that and celebrate reading. \n Taking place on 2 April 2022\, International Children’s Book Day is this year sponsored by International Board on Books for Young People Latvia. The Board decides on a theme for the event in addition to an author from that country writing a personal message to the children of the world to inspire them to read. A poster to help publicise the event is designed by an illustrator from the sponsorship country too. The slogan for this year’s event is the small is big in a book‚with the message to the children written by Inese Zandere. Inese is a Latvian poet and editor\, in addition to an author and publisher of children’s books. \n Reading books can help a child to learn and develop\, and this can be difficult in certain parts of the world due to deprivation. However\, International Children’s Book Day can help to provide resources for those children through various events in schools and communities that they may not have had access to otherwise. \n Not only does it encourage children to pick up a book and read\, no matter what age they are\, to celebrate International Children’s Book Day\, but it can help to influence their habits for the future.

SUMMARY:Bowel Cancer Awareness Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:April’s Bowel Cancer Awareness Month is a fantastic annual event set aside to increase awareness of bowel cancer and raise funds towards treating this condition. It is driven by various charitable organisations including the Beating Bowel Cancer and Bowel Cancer UK\, who have merged with the main aim of ensuring that there would be no victim of Bowel Cancer by 2050. \nJust to mention\, Bowel Cancer is the second biggest UK’s killer cancer. This shouldn’t be the case since it is treatable and curable\, especially when diagnosed at an early stage. Early diagnosis for Bowel Cancer and any other type of cancer saves lives. This is the reason why April has been set aside to educate the public and raise awareness of Bowel Cancer symptoms. \nSome of the common symptoms of bowel cancer include: \nBleeding from the bottom and blood in poo \nPersistent and unexplained change in bowel habit \nSudden and unexplained weight loss \nBeing easily fatigued with no obvious reason or cause \nPain or a lump in the tummy \nHow to be involved; \nYou can get involved in this campaign through various ways. The first way is for you as an individual to learn about the symptoms of bowel cancer. This will be the starting point\, from which you can spread the word. If you have suffered from this condition before\, you can also share your story to help encourage support those facing bowel cancers. \nThe other way is by making donations for research and lifesaving works aimed at stopping bowel cancer.

SUMMARY:Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month 2022

Since it began as Mathematics Awareness Week back in 1986\, the aim has been to increase the level of interest in the study of mathematics and also increase the level of public understanding and appreciation for the wide range of applications for mathematics in fields as diverse as manufacturing\, business and medicine. \n In 1999 Mathematics Awareness Week became Mathematics Awareness Month and then in 2017 statistics were incorporated to make Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month\, the aim being to celebrate the diverse students and researchers in both fields and raise awareness of both areas of study and their relevance in modern life. \n During the month of April\, Colleges\, Universities\, schools and any related interest groups or associations are encouraged to organise and host events. In the past\, activities have included open days\, lectures\, interactive exhibits\, quizzes and even math poetry readings. \n If you would like to host an event but are unsure what to do\, the Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month website has a number of recommendations and resources at www.mathstatmonth.org and for those wishing to get involved in Mathematics Awareness Week on social media\, many resources\, links and updates are shared under the hashtag #MathStatMonth

SUMMARY:World Bipolar Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Each year World Bipolar Day takes place on March 30 and this year members of the public across the globe are being encouraged to use social media to help disseminate information and get the event’s hashtags trending on social media. \n World Bipolar Day is designed to raise awareness worldwide of bipolar conditions and to work to eliminate social stigma whilst providing information to educate and help people understand the condition. \n Bipolar disorder affects a person’s mood\, which can swing from one extreme to the other\, with someone suffering from the disorder having episodes of depression or mania. People living with bipolar disorder\, also known as manic-depressive illness\, tend to have their lives significantly disrupted as it can impact on a person’s ability to function. There are however several medications that can help to treat it. \n The awareness day is an initiative organised by the International Bipolar Foundation in partnership with the Asian Network of Bipolar Disorder and the International Society for Bipolar Disorders. \n For those using social media to post videos and photographs to help raise awareness of bipolar disorder\, you are encouraged to use the hashtags #WorldBipolarDay and #BipolarStrong whilst tagging @intlbipolar on Twitter and Instagram and @InternationalBipolarFoundation on Facebook.

SUMMARY:Purple Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Originating in Canada\, Purple Day was invented by the incredible Cassidy Megan\, a young girl who created the initiative in 2008 after getting motivated by the struggles she had with epilepsy. It’s a simple affair: you’re encouraged to wear purple and raise awareness for the cause! \nOriginally\, the initiative started out on a small level; Cassidy’s idea was picked up\, and then supported\, by the Epilepsy Association of Nova Scotia in 2008. Since then\, it has taken on a whole new level\, and in the UK alone\, it’s backed by no fewer than eight charities. \nPurple Day – international epilepsy day – returns on Thursday 26 March 2022. \nDid you know that 87 people are diagnosed with epilepsy every day? \nEpilepsy can affect anyone\, anytime\, anyplace and can change lives in a moment. \nTo help raise funds and awareness tell us what your purple moment will be this Purple Day. It could be a purple cake bake\, purple plod\, purple plunge\, purple dress down\, purple hair day or turn your school\, town or office purple. \nDownload your FREE fundraising pack today. For more ideas and fundraising materials including balloons\, banners and t-shirts email fundraising@youngepilepsy.org.uk today or call 01342 831245.

SUMMARY:National Skipping Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:  \nNational Skipping Day will take place on Friday 25th March 2022 this year and is organised by Skipping Workshops. \nOver the years we have received a great deal of feedback from schools and it seems that participating schools fall into two groups: the first are those schools who promote playground skipping on a regular basis throughout the school year and see NSD as a means of celebrating this commitment . By contrast\, some schools don’t promote skipping throughout the school year but are happy to take part in NSD as a ‘one-off’ celebration of healthy exercise through skipping. The 2022 event is definitely of more interest to the first group (although we hope all schools will consider taking part.) \nFor schools taking part in the 2022 NSD we have developed a graded scheme of skills\, starting with challenges for Nursery and YR children moving forward to skills for children in Y5 & Y6 who have shown a commitment to developing skipping skills. There are 6 levels in all\, starting with ‘basic’ (for the youngest children) moving through to Level 5. For those children who complete the tasks in each level we have a certificate which we hope schools will present to those children who qualify. For each level we will send participating schools detailed staff notes to explain the various challenges. \nIf you register for NSD 2022 we will send you details of the skills involved in the basic level as well as Levels 1 & 2 plus a copy of the different certificates for each level. \nIf you feel able to host an all-day-skip visit from Skipping Workshops between now and the end of the academic year we will send you\, free of charge\, a useful ‘starter pack’ of skipping ropes; this will include 15 child ropes ( infant and/or junior sizes) as well as a 4m long rope\, a 8m long rope as well as one adult rope. The normal cost of the pack is £102 but free to schools who book a visit. We are grateful to NORtech Jump ropes for their continuing support for NSD.

SUMMARY:World TB Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World TB Day\, which is observed on 24 March every year\, is designed to raise public awareness regarding the epidemic of TB (tuberculosis) and efforts of eliminating the disease. In the year 2012\, a total of 8.6 million people were sick with TB; 1.3 million people died from the infectious disease\, these were mostly people in the Third World. The World TB Day is one of the 8 official campaigns for global public health marked by WHO (World Health Organization). \n The day celebrates the day in the year 1882\, the time when Dr Robert Koch shocked the scientific community by making an announcement to a small scientist group that he had discovered tuberculosis cause\, the TB bacillus. During announcement by Koch in Berlin\, tuberculosis was raging through the Americas and Europe. In every seven people that died\, one of them had died because of TB. The discovery of Koch paved the way toward diagnosing as well as curing tuberculosis. \n Bill Clinton\, the former U.S president\, marked the 2000 World TB Day by administering the DOTS (Directly Observed Therapy\, Short-Course) recommended by WHO to patients at the Hyderabad\, India-based Mahavir Hospital. Clinton stated that these are economic calamities\, human tragedies\, and much more than crises for anyone\, they’re crises for the whole world. The spread of TB is a worldwide problem and no nation is immuned. \n Today\, a network of organisations\, the Stop TB Partnership and nations fighting tuberculosis organises the World TB Day to highlight the disease scope and how it can be prevented and cured.

SUMMARY:World Water Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Water Day takes place each and every year on March 22nd\, and aims to underline the importance of water. While this may sound simple and\, in many people’s eyes\, a bit daft the lack of clean water around the world\, alongside the damaging effects of global warming\, water pollution and damaged water tables\, is more important to understand than ever. \n The initiative is spearheaded by the UN\, alongside UNESCO\, the World Water Council and the WWF the one with pandas\, not the one with Macho Man Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan. Using the day as a basis for longer-term action\, the UN aims to ensure that everyone in the world has access to safe water by 2030\, while not impacting the environment.

SUMMARY:The Big Walk and Wheel 2022 - Previously The Big Pedal
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by UK cycling charity Sustrans\, The Big Walk and Wheel – Previously known as The Big Pedal is the UK’s largest inter-school cycling and scooter-based challenge that aims to inspire and empower kids\, teachers and parents to get on two wheels in order to make the daily trek to school. The Big Walk and Wheel runs for ten school days each year\, and there are prizes galore in store for those who take part. \n\n\n\n\n\nSince Sustrans Big Pedal started in 2011 it has grown to be much more than a cycling competition. \nDuring the two-week challenge schools compete to record the greatest number of pupils walking\, using a wheelchair\, scooting and cycling to school\, whilst learning about the benefits of active travel along the way. \nTo acknowledge the multi-modal nature of the competition\, in 2021 we asked schools to help us find a new name for Sustrans Big Pedal. \nA name that includes walking\, using a wheelchair\, scooting and cycling to reflect its inclusive nature. \nParticipating schools submitted their suggestions and the shortlist was put to a public vote. \nThe clear winner was… \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSustrans Big Walk and Wheel!\nPlease put 21 March – 1 April 2022 in your diaries for Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel 2022. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel\nThe school challenge has now been running for 11 years. \nIt’s inspired hundreds of thousands of families to take active journeys to school. \nIn 2021\, we took a more flexible approach to the competition to accommodate pupils learning remotely. \nThe results were amazing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSustrans Big Pedal 2021 was a great success. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmazing Journeys theme\nThis year we are again trying to make sure as many pupils as possible can take part. \nThat’s why we have designed our interactive school resources to be fun and flexible. \nOur Amazing Journeys theme will encourage pupils to see their local area from a new perspective whilst learning about the benefits of active travel. \nAnd active journeys taken from home or physical activity completed at home counted as one journey in the challenge for pupils learning remotely.

SUMMARY:International Day of Forests 2022
DESCRIPTION:Forests are part of your life in more ways than you realize \nWhen we drink a glass of water\, write in a notebook\, take medicine for a fever or build a house\, we do not always make the connection with forests. And yet\, these and many other aspects of our lives are linked to forests in one way or another. Forests\, their sustainable management and use of resources\, including in fragile ecosystems\, are key to combating climate change\, and to contributing to the prosperity and well-being of current and future generations. Forests also play a crucial role in poverty alleviation and in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \nForests and Education – Learn to Love Forests \nEvery 21 March the United Nations raises awareness of the importance of all types of forests. This year the International Day of Forests promotes education to Learn to Love Forests. It underscores the importance of education at all levels in achieving sustainable forest management and biodiversity conservation. Healthy forests mean healthy\, resilient communities and prosperous economies.

SUMMARY:World Down Syndrome Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:World Down Syndrome Day (also known as WDSD) is a global awareness initiative that has been backed by the United Nations since 2012. \n It has been spearheaded by Down Syndrome International\, which has linked up with national charities across the world to develop activities and events to raise awareness and support for those living with Down syndrome. It also highlights the facts of what it’s like to have Down syndrome\, and how those with Down syndrome have\, and continue to play\, a vital role in our communities. \n The date itself has been selected for very clever reasons; it is held on the 21st day of the 3rd month\, which is a hat-tip to the uniqueness of the triplication of the 21st chromosome which leads to Down syndrome. \n Let’s get people talking about WDSD on 21 March 2021! How? By wearing #LotsOfSocks! \n …wear our official #LotsOfSocks socks\, other brightly coloured socks\, long socks\, printed socks\, 1 sock even 3 socks for 3 chromosomes. If you do not normally wear socks\, then wear them. And why stop at socks? Wear our #LotsOfSocks t-shirts\, WDSD t-shirts and other brightly coloured clothing.

SUMMARY:World Poetry Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Poetry reaffirms our common humanity by revealing to us that individuals\, everywhere in the world\, share the same questions and feelings. Poetry is the mainstay of oral tradition and\, over centuries\, can communicate the innermost values of diverse cultures. \n In celebrating World Poetry Day\, March 21\, UNESCO recognizes the unique ability of poetry to capture the creative spirit of the human mind. \n A decision to proclaim 21 March as World Poetry Day was adopted during UNESCO’s 30th session held in Paris in 1999. \n One of the main objectives of the Day is to support linguistic diversity through poetic expression and to offer endangered languages the opportunity to be heard within their communities. \n The observance of World Poetry Day is also meant to encourage a return to the oral tradition of poetry recitals\, to promote the teaching of poetry\, to restore a dialogue between poetry and the other arts such as theatre\, dance\, music and painting\, and to support small publishers and create an attractive image of poetry in the media\, so that the art of poetry will no longer be considered an outdated form of art\, but one which enables society as a whole to regain and assert its identity.

SUMMARY:St Patricks Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:St Patrick’s most incredible feat was to banish each and every Irish snake into the sea after these unarmed reptiles conspired to attack him during his 40-day fast. As a result\, it might be surprising that St Patrick’s Day seems to revolve more around drinking alcohol than committing acts of animal abuse\, though in a modern society\, the latter is thankfully more socially unacceptable and illegal. \n If you want to join in\, dress to the nines in green and hit your local pub. You can guarantee you won’t be more than ten paces from a standard-issue Guinness foam hat to celebrate the experience an item usually thrown in as an incentive to drink a couple of pints of the black stuff out of respect for St Patrick himself.

SUMMARY:Young Carers Action Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Each year Carers Trust organises Young Carers Awareness Day. \nThe purpose of the day is to raise public awareness of the challenges faced by young people because of their caring role\, and to campaign for greater support for young carers and their needs. \nWhen Carers Trust set up Young Carers Awareness Day our intention was to make the public much more aware of young carers – who they are\, what they do\, the very real challenges they face\, and why they need support. \nAnd over the years\, we’ve had some great successes\, using the media and social media to really shine a spotlight on young carers. \nBut as Young Carers Awareness Day has got bigger each year\, we’ve also realised there are things we can do to make it better. And many young carers themselves have told us how they think the day could be improved. \nWe wanted to use that feedback from young carers and people working with young carers to make the day even better. So this year we are making some changes based on the feedback we have received. These changes are explained below. \nWe hope you agree these will make the day even better in 2022\, and help create real change for young carers and the support they receive! \nWe are changing the name! \nOne of the things we are always hearing from young carers is that what they want is support\, not sympathy. \nThis got us thinking. Yes\, it’s great to raise public awareness of young carers and what they do. But we need to do more than just encourage public sympathy for young carers and everything they have to do at home. We need to use the day to get people to take action to support young carers. \nSo from 2021 onwards\, the name has been changed to Young Carers Action Day. \nWe will be working with a group of young carers to ensure Young Carers Action Day 2022 features activities that will encourage real action and drive positive change for young carers. \nWe are changing the date! \nUp to now\, the day falls at the end of January. With the day coming so soon after Christmas\, we’ve noticed it’s easy to lose momentum due to the Christmas holidays. So from 2021 Young Carers Action Day has taken place in March. \nWe will still be making all materials ready by the end of November and we hope this will give young carers\, teachers and other professionals plenty of time to plan some really great activities for March. \nYoung Carers Action Day 2022 will take place on 16 March 2022. \nWe are including young adult carers \nUntil now\, the day has been for young carers up to the age of 18. \nBut one of the things our recent survey of young carers and young adult carers showed us is that young people aged 18 to 25 are experiencing many of the same challenges as younger carers. \nYoung adult carers need support too as they continue to balance their caring role with the difficult transition into early adulthood. So we will be planning activities and media coverage for this really important group of carers too! \nAnd we are working with young carers and young adult carers to plan Young Carers Action Day 2022 \nCarers Trust has set up a working group including young carers and young adult carers that is working actively to plan activities and media coverage for Young Carers Action Day 2022. With young carers at the heart of planning\, we will ensure that Young Carers Action Day 2022 delivers activities most likely to create positive change for young carers that addresses their needs. \nGot a question? \nWe realise that these are fairly significant changes and you may have questions. If there is something you’d like to ask\, or raise\, we’d love to hear from you! \nPlease feel free to get in touch with Vicky Morgan\, Head of Young Carers and Young Adult Carers. \nMedia enquiry? \nContact the Press team

SUMMARY:World Salt Awareness Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:Salt Awareness Week will take place 14 – 20 March 2022 and this year our theme is ‘Shake The Habit’! \nEach year Action on Salt organise a national ‘Salt Awareness Week’ and an international ‘World Salt Awareness Week’ to help raise awareness of the damaging effect of too much salt to our health. \nThe annual campaign is our chance to talk directly to the general public\, shining a light on the hidden salt in our favourite food products and encouraging those who don’t want their food\, and their children’s food\, laden with unnecessary salt to take action. We produce posters\, leaflets and factsheets\, which are then made available for order by hospitals\, GP surgeries\, health charities\, schools\, universities and anyone with an interest in salt\, food or health! These resources are intended for local community events during the week\, or for display year round in pharmacies and GP surgeries\, helping our salt reduction messages reach a wide range of people. Last year there were more than 300 supporting events up and down the country. \nIn previous Salt Awareness Week campaigns\, Action on Salt have held a lunch time reception at the House of Commons. These prestigious events are a chance for our message to be heard by MPs\, food retailers\, food manufacturers and other supporters and stakeholders. It also gives the food companies a chance to show how they have been reducing salt in their products. \nPlease use the links on the left to view more information on our annual Salt Awareness Week campaigns

SUMMARY:International Women's Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:International Women’s Day celebrates the social\, cultural\, economic and political achievements of women across the globe. But far from singling out women\, the day focuses on unity\, equality and advocacy especially in a world where the differences and injustices between women and men are as great as ever. \nOver 20 countries particularly in Asia celebrate it with a day off work for all\, while another three (including China) allow all women to take a day off. Although many people who seem to have a problem with the concept of International Women’s Day may think it’s a modern invention\, it’s anything but; its first official acknowledgement was back in 1911\, and became a cornerstone holiday in the Soviet Union from 1917 (even being a day off from work from 1965 onwards). Since 1977\, the United Nations has made it a focus day for both women’s rights and world peace. \nAnd before you ask yes\, there is an International Men’s Day\, on November 19th. For what it’s worth\, you can enjoy Richard Herring (@Herring1967) respond to each and every Twitter user who asks this question over these 24 hours that women are celebrated.

SUMMARY:Walk All Over Cancer 2022
DESCRIPTION:Walk All Over Cancer is a fundraising and activity challenge that occurs annually every March in aid of the charity Cancer Research UK. Participants are challenged to a sponsored walk of 10\,000 steps every day during the month\, and all proceeds from the fundraising are donated to the charity. \nCancer Research UK funds research into cancer treatment and prevention across the world\, working to develop new cancer drugs and provide the latest cancer information about cancer treatment and prevention to both health professionals and the public. \nParticipants can share details of their progress using the hashtag #walkallovercancer and walks can be either solo or walkers can challenge their friends and family to join them\, or even take part with local walking groups. The NHS recommends 10\,000 steps per day for optimum health\, however with increasingly sedentary lives\, many people do not reach this amount\, and so the challenge is an opportunity to improve your own health as well as raise money for a good cause. By taking 10\,000 steps per day\, walkers will achieve 150 miles by the end of the month. \nAnybody interested in getting involved in Walk All Over Cancer will find further resources including free printable materials and information on fundraising and tracking steps at www.cancerresearchuk.org.

SUMMARY:Dechox 2022
DESCRIPTION:As one of the only detoxes that could affect pretty much everyone in the UK (and beyond)\, the act of giving up chocolate seems punishing for many but the British Heart Foundation has combined charity with the health benefits of such an act with its DECHOX initiative. \n Dechox is our nationwide challenge to give up chocolate throughout March. Anything with cocoa in it is off limits for 31 days – from the sprinkles on your cappuccino to that 3pm chocolate bar. \n By stepping up and getting your friends\, family and colleagues to sponsor you to give up your favourite treats for a month\, you’ll be raising money to fund our vital research. \n We’ve partnered with JustGiving – a fundraising platform that makes receiving and paying sponsorship really easy – to help you generate donations that will save lives and make medical breakthroughs.

SUMMARY:Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:When a woman is diagnosed at the earliest stage\, her chance of surviving ovarian cancer for five years or more doubles from just 46 per cent to more than 90 per cent. \n However\, nearly half of GPs mistakenly believe symptoms only present in the later stages of the disease\, and less than a third of women in the UK are confident they know the symptoms. \n This year\, tens of thousands of symptoms leaflets were read\, thousands of cakes were baked\, hundreds of outlandish outfits worn and more teapots brewed than we could count all with one aim in mind to get more women diagnosed at the earliest stage. Your fundraising means we will be able to do more to improve early diagnosis\, fund more life-saving research and provide much-needed support.

SUMMARY:St David's Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:March kicks off in style with St David’s Day\, when Welsh people across the world but mainly in Wales\, naturally celebrate their fantastic heritage under the banner of their national saint. David’s greatest miracle was creating a hill under his feet where he spoke about God\, though otherwise\, he was quite a humble man\, to the point where he advocated that monks pulled the plough (and not cows)\, and only had bread and water as part of their diet. \n So sure\, St David might not be seen in the same party atmosphere as St Patrick\, who somewhat steals his thunder with his own day later in the month\, but Glastonbury Abbey yes\, in that Glastonbury was founded by St David. But before you decide that the saint-based party night of the year ought to be moved out of fairness and respect\, St David refrained from drinking beer

SUMMARY:Shrove Tuesday/Pancake Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Shrove Tuesday (known in some countries as Pancake Tuesday) is a day in February or March preceding Ash Wednesday (the first day of Lent)\, which is celebrated in some countries by consuming pancakes. In others\, especially those (including Louisiana) where it is called Mardi Gras or some translation thereof\, this is a carnival day\, and also the last day of fat eating or gorging before the fasting period of Lent. \n This moveable festival is determined by Easter. The expression Shrove Tuesday comes from the word shrive\, meaning absolve. Shrove Tuesday is observed by many Christians\, including Anglicans\, Lutherans\,Methodists and Roman Catholics\,who make a special point of self-examination\, of considering what wrongs they need to repent\, and what amendments of life or areas of spiritual growth they especially need to ask God’s help in dealing with. \n Being the last day before the penitential season of Lent\, related popular practices\, such as indulging in food that one sacrifices for the upcoming forty days\, are associated with Shrove Tuesday celebrations\, before commencing the fasting and religious obligations associated with Lent. The term Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday\, referring to the practice of the last night of eating richer\, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of theLenten season\, which begins on Ash Wednesday

SUMMARY:Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2022
DESCRIPTION:What is Eating disorders Awareness Week?\nEating Disorders Awareness Week is an international awareness event\, fighting the myths and misunderstandings that surround anorexia\, bulimia\, binge eating disorder and EDNOS. \nEating disorders are devastating mental illnesses that affect 1 in 50 people in the UK. \nRecovery is possible\, but we rely on our GPs to spot early warning signs that may have nothing to do with a person’s weight or appearance. Their role is crucial and their responsibility is huge\, but the average GP receives less than 2 hours of training on eating disorders throughout their entire medical degree\, which is just not good enough! This means that so often\, people with eating disorders don’t get the help they need because GPs just don’t have the right training to diagnose them. \nBeat are fighting for better access to treatment for people with eating disorders. They have developed clear and comprehensive courses for medical students\, which some schools have started to teach. The aim is to provide GPs with the proper training so that they can match the seriousness of these conditions and give people with eating disorders the best possible care. \nThis year Beat are focusing on highlighting their training program to help GPs make the right referrals for people with eating disorders. But their services are still there for those who need them right now. This EDAW Beat are asking for your help to be Bright and Bold so that they can make sure no one faces an eating disorder alone. \nWhen is Eating Disorders Awareness Week?\nEDAW 22 takes place from the 28th February and will run until the 6th March. \nHow to get involved in Eating Disorders Awareness Week.\nTo get involved in EDAW 22 Beat are asking you to: \nSpeak up \nWe’re asking supporters to share their own GP experiences to highlight the difference knowledge\, understanding and compassion can make! \nStep Up \nOur supporters’ fundraising activities and generous donations will amplify our campaign! \nSkill Up \nWe’re asking supporters to share our campaign for change – with the tools and the time to understand eating disorders\, our future GPs will be better equipped! \nFor more information visit Beat here or follow the campaign on social media using the hashtag #EDAW2022 \n  \n

SUMMARY:National Essay Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:National Essay Day is an annual awareness campaign promoted by One Freelance Limited.

SUMMARY:Tell a Fairy Tale Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Tell a Fairy Tale Day is an informal observance held on February 26. It provides a perfect opportunity to read fairy tales to your kinds and enjoy your favorite childhood tales yourself. \n A fairy tale is a short story that typically features fantasy characters and magic. Fairy tales usually take place once upon a time and have a happy ending: evil characters are punished and good characters live happily ever after. \n Fairy tale collections are usually the first books read by children (not counting alphabet books\, of course). But children are introduced to fairy tales much earlier than they start to read\, because fairy tales are the most common type of bedtime story. \n Even if you don’t have children or your kids are not around\, you should not miss the opportunity to reacquaint yourself with fairy tales. It’s perfectly okay to read fairy tale books alone. Make a cup of hot chocolate\, curl up in a chair and immerse yourself in the world of princes and princesses\, evil witches and beautiful fairies\, dragons and unicorns\, talking animals and magical plants.

SUMMARY:World Spay Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Nine of the UK’s animal welfare charities* have joined forces to promote World Spay Day 2022 to encourage cat owners to have their cats spayed. Spaying protects cats from getting pregnant – this is also known as neutering\, fixing or being done. \n Recent research has shown that 70% of litters in the UK are unplanned. \n Our advice is simple – have your cat spayed at four months to protect her from getting pregnant. \n Male cats should be neutered too\, to protect them catching diseases and getting nasty injuries from fighting – a male cat which hasn’t been neutered is much more likely to fight over a female mate. Neutering can also help to stop male cats from spraying indoors – which can be really smelly. He’s also more likely to stay close to home as a neutered male cat is less likely to stray. \n You may be able to get help with the cost of having your cat neutered. \n To take a look at the World Spay Day events near you\, click here \n World Spay Day is supported by: \n The Blue Cross \n Battersea Dogs & Cats Home \n Cats Protection \n Celia Hammond Animal Trust \n International Cat Care \n Mayhew Animal Home \n PDSA \n RSPCA \n Wood Green Animal Charity

SUMMARY:Fairtrade Fortnight 2022
DESCRIPTION:21 February to 6 March 2022 \n Information about Fairtrade Fortnight 2022 will be coming soon. Sign up to emails to stay up to date. \n WHAT IS FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT \n For two weeks each year at the end of February and start of March\, thousands of individuals\, companies and groups across the UK come together to share the stories of the people who grow our food and drinks and who grow the cotton in our clothes\, people who are often exploited and underpaid. \n In 2019\, we launched our campaign calling on U.K. Government and companies to ensure cocoa farmers earn living incomes by 2030\, in line with the UN’s Global Goals to end poverty. During Fairtrade Fortnight 2020 we continued our campaign to raise awareness of the struggles of cocoa farming and to demand living incomes for cocoa farmers. \n A living income means enough money to live a simple but dignified life\, paying for essentials such as clothing\, medicine and school. We believe this is not a luxury but a human right. \n Read more about our Fight for Living Incomes campaign \n Only Fairtrade is campaigning publicly for the right to a living income for farmers – men and women. Only Fairtrade Standards cover: \n Price: The Fairtrade Premium and the Fairtrade Minimum Price are driving real change\, right now. The Fairtrade Minimum Price provides a safety net that protects farmers from low prices for their crops. \n Premium: Fairtrade farmers and workers choose how they spend the Fairtrade Premium\, which they can use to make their farms and communities stronger. It also allows them to invest in different ways of making money\, so that they are less reliant on the unpredictable cocoa market. Read more about the Fairtrade Premium \n Women’s empowerment: Fairtrade is also supporting more women cocoa farmers to take the reins and stand tall alongside men. Fairtrade Standards make sure that they have a voice in their community\, are represented in decision-making and benefit from Fairtrade. We know that independent income in the hands of women brings positive change to communities even faster. \n Environment: While you can’t protect the planet without protecting its people first\, rigorous Fairtrade Standards support farmers to protect the environment and the Fairtrade Premium is enabling them to invest in climate resilience and adaptation. \n In late 2019\, we travelled back to West Africa\, to meet some truly inspiring women who want their stories to be heard. This Fortnight we need your help to share their stories and show people in the UK why we need them to choose Fairtrade. \n GET INVOLVED \n Details about Fairtrade Fortnight 2021 will be coming soon. In the meantime\, there are several ways to get involved with our campaign for living incomes: \n 1. Sign up to emails to stay in touch and receive updates from Fairtrade  \n 2. Follow us on social media and share our campaign content to help us raise awareness of the issues. \n Follow us on Facebook | Follow us on Twitter | Follow us on Instagram | Subscribe to our YouTube channel \n 3.

DESCRIPTION:Real Bread Week is the annual\, international celebration of supporting your local\, independent Real Bread bakery and baking your own. \n #RealBreadWeek will return 19 February to 27th February 2022 \n What is Real Bread Week? \n Launched by the Real Bread Campaign in 2009*\, this is the annual\, international celebration of Real Bread and people who make it. \n Each year\, the Campaign encourages bakeries and baking schools in its supporter network around the world to organise hold classes\, feasts and other events and activities. \n Meanwhile\, everyone else is encouraged to get along to a local\, independent Real Bread bakery and support a business that helps to create more jobs per loaf at the heart of your local community and to keep your high street alive. \n Doughy digits \n One of the two main aims of the week has always been to encourage more people to bake their own Real Bread. We’re particularly keen to see more children learning to bake it\, whether at home\, in a bakery\, baking school or in the classroom. \n Not only is this great fun\, but it’s a way helping them to avoid all of the artificial additives that turn up in industrial loaves. It can also be a way of steering them towards healthier food – you’d be amazed at the number of children who ‘don’t like wholemeal’ but love it when it was lovingly made by their own mitts. \n Home baking \n Recipes \n Real Bread classes/courses \n Discounts on ingredients\, equipment\, classes \n NB loaves raised with baking powder / soda fall outside our definition of Real Bread \n Bigging up little bakeries \n It’s time to kick the additive-laden industrial loaf habit and support YOUR local Real Bread baker! \n Small\, independent\, locally-owned bakeries help to: \n support more jobs per loaf for people in your local community – skilled jobs at that \n keep more money circulating in your local economy\, helping to keep your high street alive \n They may also offer social benefits\, from being a place where older people at risk of isolation can see a friendly face and stop for a chat\, to those that are set up to offer training and employment opportunities for people facing one of a range of challenges. \n Don’t be fooled by so-called ‘artisan’ loaves turning up on supermarket shelves: insist on the real deal. \n Look for The Real Bread Loaf Mark \n Discover a local Real Bread bakery \n Why support a local Real Bread bakery \n Get involved! \n How are YOU celebrating Real Bread Week this year? \n Whether you’re a teacher\, professional or amateur baker (or even a non-baker)\, there are plenty of ways to help people in your local community enjoy Real Bread…and maybe even raise dough for the Campaign at the same time. \n Even better if you team up with local good food organisations and/or other small-batch food and drink producers to make a real party of it. \n Here are a few more ideas of events and activities. You could organise a Real Bread: \n beginners‚baking workshop \n tasting dinner or pizza night perhaps in association with a local pub or eatery \n lunchbox masterclass to share all the great Real Bread alternatives to soggy factory loaf sarnies with parents at a local school \n club event to bring friends colleagues and neighbours together to bake \n networking event for fellow breadheads \n The more the merrier \n Perhaps you could involve a community group such as your local: \n School \n Youth club \n Scouts\, Guides or other local youth organisation \n WI group \n Farmers’ market \n Country Market \n Slow Food group \n If you are planning a class or other public event/activity\, please add details to our events calendarNOW!

SUMMARY:National Freedom to Marry in the USA Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:February 12 is National Freedom to Marry Day. This is an unofficial holiday\, but it is popular among same-sex couples. The holiday was founded and introduced by Lambda Legal in 1999. This law firm advocates rights of gay\, lesbian\, bisexual and transgender communities as well as people living with HIV/AIDS. \n The most notable holiday was in 2004\, when the City and County of San Francisco began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. These changes were made by the mayor Ganiv Newsom\, who asked his clerk to change the forms and documents used to apply for and issue marriage licenses\, that would provide same-sex marriage on a non-discriminatory basis. \n The Supreme Court of the United States has recognized the rights of same-sex couples to marry on June 26\, 2013. \n Today same-sex couples can marry in 33 states and in a few other jurisdictions and receive all the state-level benefits of their marriage. Some states offer civil unions\, that grant all or a part of state-level rights and responsibilities.

SUMMARY:Toothache Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:A bit of a weird one. Celebrated every year on the same date\, but who on earth would want to celebrate a toothache\, I hear you ask?! \n 9th February marks the annual National Toothache Day. This seems to be a strange day to have\, as why would anyone want to celebrate a toothache? The purpose of the day is to raise awareness of dental issues and promote good oral health to avoid toothache. \n There can be many different causes of toothache and for yourself it could be very difficult to be able to tell what has caused the issue. \n Here are some of the more common causes: \n   Food stuck between the gums which can cause gum or tooth pain \n   Dental decay or a cavity \n   Tooth abscess or infection \n   Cracked tooth \n   Infected gums \n   Trauma – such as a knock to a tooth or an accident/fall \n   Other illness such as a cold which gives tooth like pain \n   Sinusitis \n If you are experiencing gum pain\, it is advised to throughly brush your teeth along with interdental cleaning with floss or an interdental brush to remove any food that may be stuck. Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water can help ease the pain. \n Sometimes painkillers will be needed to help reduce pain. In the event of toothache\, it is advisable to seek advice from your dentist and more urgently if you are having severe pain that is constant and painkillers may not be controlling or if you notice a swelling of your face or the inside of your mouth that may be a sign of an infection.

SUMMARY:Time To Talk Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Too often\, people who experience a mental health problem are also expected to take the lead on talking about mental health in the wider sense. Time To Talk Day encourages everyone to talk about mental health. \nMental health problems affect one in four of us yet people are still afraid to talk about it. For people with mental health problems not being able to talk about it can be one of the worst parts of the illness.

SUMMARY:Lung Leavin Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:The concept of Lung Leavin‚Day was created on February 2\, 2006 by Heather Avon St James. The awareness raising campaign was as a result of the 36 year old being diagnosed with mesothelioma. Sadly at the time Heather was given only 15 months to live. However Heather was determined to fight this deadly disease for the sake of her husband and you daughter and insisted\, after much research and contact with a renowned Mesothelioma surgeon\, on the removal of her lung. On the day of her lung removal\, which ultimately proved to be her life-saving surgery\, her sister made a joke about it being Lung Leavin’ Day…and the name stuck. \n The following year on the first anniversary\, Heather’s family created the tradition of writing their fears in marker on kitchen plates and throwing them into a huge bonfire outside\, symbolically smashing their deepest insecurities. \n Lung leavin‚Day has grown over the years\, taking shape as a celebration of life\, and a fundraiser for mesothelioma and asbestos awareness. It has become a prominent day in the global mesothelioma community\, and amasses a large crowd at Heather’s home in Minnesota each year. To date over $37\,000 has been raised. \n To get involved and show support for the fantastic achievement of Heather and all those that work in the field of mesothelioma and those affected\, visit the website dedicated to the cause.

SUMMARY:National Children's Dental Health Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the American Dental Association in partnership with Crest and Oral B\, the month long awareness campaign aims to work with children\, caregivers\, teachers and other professionals to raise awareness of the benefits of good oral health care. \n Many of us take for granted the benefits of taking good care of our teeth however it is important that we inform children and reinforce the message regularly. \n Tooth decay is the most common of chronic diseases amongst children and therefore there is obviously much more than we can do to promote good oral hygiene. \n Its hardly surprising that tooth decay is so prevalent amongst children if the daily battle to get the children in our household is anything to go by! That is why we think that this campaign is one to get involved with\, promote and learn from particularly in our children’s schools. Anything to make mornings and bedtimes run that little bit more smoothly! \n The ADA have a vast amount of information on their website all aimed at educating and inspiring youngsters to enjoy cleaning their teeth and to help make it become a part of their daily routine. A theme is set each year with 2021’s theme is due to be announced shortly.

SUMMARY:Chinese New Year 2022
DESCRIPTION:Chinese New Year\, also known as the “Spring Festival” (simplified Chinese: 春节; traditional Chinese: 春節; Pinyin: Chūn Jié) in modern China\, is an important Chinese festival celebrated at the turn of the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar. Celebrations traditionally run from the evening preceding the first day\, to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first calendar month. The first day of the New Year falls on the new moon between 21 Jan and 20 Feb. \nAccording to the Chinese 12-year animal zodiac cycle\, the Chinese year beginning in 2021 is the year of the Tiger. Each Chinese zodiac year begins on Chinese New Year’s Day. \nThe New Year festival is centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and customs. Traditionally\, the festival was a time to honour deities as well as ancestors. Chinese New Year is celebrated in countries and territories with significant Chinese populations\, including Mainland China\, Hong Kong\, Macau\, Singapore\, Taiwan\, Indonesia\, Malaysia\, Thailand\, Vietnam\, Cambodia\, Mauritius\, Australia\, and the Philippines. Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the lunar new year celebrations of its geographic neighbours. \nWithin China\, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese New Year vary widely. Often\, the evening preceding Chinese New Year’s Day is an occasion for Chinese families to gather for the annual reunion dinner. It is also traditional for every family to thoroughly clean the house\, in order to sweep away any ill-fortune and to make way for incoming good luck. Windows and doors are decorated with red colour paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of “good fortune” or “happiness”\, “wealth”\, and “longevity”. Other activities include lighting firecrackers and giving money in red paper envelopes. In about one third of the Mainland population\, or 500 million Northerners\, dumplings (especially those of vegetarian fillings) feature prominently in the meals celebrating the festival.

SUMMARY:Dignity Action Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Dignity Action Day #DAD2022 is an annual opportunity for health and social care workers\, and members of the public to uphold people’s rights to dignity and provide a truly memorable day for people who use care services. \n Dignity Action Day gives everyone the opportunity to contribute to upholding people’s rights to dignity and provide a truly memorable day for people receiving care. Dignity Action Day aims to ensure people who use care services are treated as individuals and are given choice\, control and a sense of purpose in their daily lives. \n Dame Joan Bakewell\, Dignity in Care Ambassador said: \n “Dignity Action Day highlights a more respectful way of behaving towards vulnerable people. The very old and the very young clearly need our respect\, but it wouldn’t do any harm to spread the dignity message across the population then we can all benefit.” \n Supporting Dignity Action Day will: \n   Raise awareness of the importance of Dignity in Care \n   Provide someone with an extra special day \n   Demonstrate that everybody in the community has a role to play in upholding Dignity in Care \n   Remind the public that staff have a right to be treated with dignity and respect too \n   Provide a great community networking opportunity. \n On Dignity Action Day we ask health and social care workers to promote dignity in their place of work. We also asks members of the public to promote dignity for people in their communities. \n   Below is a flyer and resource packs with ideas for health and social care staff and members of the public as to how to take part in Dignity Action Day \n   See the Dignity Action Day Memory Book to give you further inspiration \n   Once you have decided what you are going to do you\, add your pledge or activity to the website to inspire and encourage others.

SUMMARY:National Bug Busting Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Why take part on Bug Busting Days? \n Because informed\, united action stops head lice from circulating endlessly. Combing wet\, conditioned hair with a Bug Buster comb is a reliable detection method even when very few lice are present. Thoroughly wet lice stay still; dry or damp lice move quickly away from disturbance evading detection. \n Bug Busting is an educational programme in reliable head louse detection. It delivers the ‘whole school approach’ (National Healthy School Standard).

DESCRIPTION:National Storytelling Week takes place in storytelling clubs\, theatres\, museums\, schools\, hospitals\, spoken word venues\, and care homes (where this event has been steadily growing each year!)

I hope to be updating as events come in~ Please get involved with story in your community. \n First and foremost is our thanks to all who take part in The Society for Storytelling’s Annual National Storytelling Week every year. Thanks must go to Kevin\, Pippa\, Martin\, Marion\, and all the Team the SfS Admin who collected and disseminated all the information coming at them about events\, venues\, times and prices.

SUMMARY:Parent Mental Health Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:What is Parent Mental Health Day?\nParent Mental Health Day was established by the charity stem4 which supports teenagers and young adults to build positive mental health. \nThis year (2022) is the first Parent Mental Health Day (PMHD) and will encourage understanding and awareness of the importance of parent mental health and its potential impact on the whole family system with the theme ‘Balance’. The day aims to get parents and carers to take a moment to reflect on the balance they have in their lives\, as well as how they balance looking after their family’s mental health and to take steps to make positive change and ‘balance out’. \nWith the everchanging lockdown restrictions and daily fear of COVID-19 outbreaks in their child / young person’s school or college\, as well as\, in some cases\, supporting a child or young person’s mental health\, it is easy for parents to overlook their own mental health as they juggle daily tasks. Parent Mental Health Day is here to shine a light on the unsung heroes who have parented under changed circumstances throughout the pandemic\, but now need some focus on themselves as well as their children and young people. By getting parents (and their employers) engaged in discussions about how to look after their own and their family’s mental health\, PMHD breaks the stigma surrounding parent mental health and starts a discussion on how parents are coping too. \nWith a focus on encouraging balance\, Parent Mental Health Day will encourage parents\, carers\, and employers to acknowledge the difficulties parents across the world have and are facing and\, through this sharing\, develop ways to change. \nWhen is Parent Mental Health Day 2022?\nParent Mental Health Day will take place on the 27th January 2022. \nHow to get involved in Parent Mental Health Day 2022.\nFor more information and resources on Parent Mental Health Day and Balancing Out go to: http://parentmentalhealthday.co.uk/ \nstem4 provides resources\, including free apps\, for young people to encourage good mental health\, ward off anxiety and low mood\, encourage calm\, and prevent self-harm. stem4 also have an app to support parents who are looking after a young person with mental health issues. stem4 also helps and provides resources to those supporting young people including; parents and carers\, education professionals\, GPs and school nurses. \nThe charity delivers mental health education\, resilience strategies and early intervention. As well as the free apps\, these are delivered through an innovative education programme\, a clinically-informed website\, and mental health conferences. \nstem4 is run by one of the country’s leading clinical psychologists\, Dr. Nihara Krause\, who also advises Parliament on mental health issues.

SUMMARY:Australia Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Australia Day is celebrated on January 26 each year and commemorates the first landing in Australia by Captain Arthur Phillip. Although Australia Day officially takes place on the 26th January each year\, if the 26th happens to fall on a Saturday or Sunday\, celebrations actually then take place on the following Monday. \n Most Australians consider January 26 with national pride\, flying the Australian flag from businesses\, homes\, cars and even their babies. They attend festivals\, fireworks\, community and sporting events or gather for family barbecues at homes\, parks or on the beach. \n Australia Day\, 26 January\, is the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet of 11 convict ships from Great Britain\, and the raising of the Union Jack at Sydney Cove by its commander Captain Arthur Phillip\, in 1788. \n Though 26 January marks this specific event\, today Australia Day celebrations reflect contemporary Australia: the diverse society and landscape and many remarkable achievements. It also is an opportunity to reflect on Australia’s national history. \n On Australia Day\, over half of the nation’s population of 21 million attend either an organised community event\, or get together with family and friends with the intention of celebrating this national day. Many more spend the public holiday relaxing with family and friends. \n Australia Day is much more than barbeques and fireworks. It is more than another public holiday. It is more than the pride and excitement of new citizens who call themselves Australian for the first time on 26 January after being conferred citizenship. \n At its core\, Australia Day is a day driven by communities\, and the celebrations held in each town\, suburb or city ‚and unified by the celebration of what is great about Australia and being Australian.

SUMMARY:National Hug Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:January 21 is National Hugging Day . This holiday has become popular in other countries where it is called Hugging Day or Hug Day. \n The idea of National Hugging Day belongs to Kevin Zaborney\, who introduced this holiday on January 21\, 1986 in Clio\, Michigan\, USA. This holiday had to encourage others to hug everyone\, no matter who they are: members of family\, friends or strangers. Hugging has many benefits for our health. Different studies prove that hugging helps build a good immune system and decrease risk of heart disease\, lower blood pressure and trigger the release of healthy hormones. \n A hug or just 10 minutes of holding hands with a romantic partner reduces stress and its harmful physical effects.Hugging your romantic partner is the best for your health\, but don’t avoid hugs with your friend or even stranger on National Hugging Day. Maybe you will become a new hugging champion. \n The record of most hugs given by one person in one hour belongs to Nick Vujicic. He hugged 1\,749 people at an expo centre in Oregon in 2010.

SUMMARY:Winnie The Pooh Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:One of the cuddliest holidays around has to be Winnie the Pooh Day\, celebrated on the birthday of author A A Milne. It’s one special anniversary fans just can’t bear to miss! Every year\, the occasion is marked with events such as teddy bears’ picnics\, featuring plenty of honey on the menu. \n Winnie the Pooh first appeared on the printed page in 1926\, together with friends Piglet\, Tigger and Eeyore. All of them were based on toys owned by the author’s son\, who also featured in the famous stories as Christopher Robin. The character later starred in a series of much-loved Disney films. One extra-special way to mark the day is to visit Pooh Corner in Hartfield\, East Sussex\, where the books were written. You can pick up a map to follow in the characters’ footsteps\, and even play a game of Poohsticks on the original bridge.

SUMMARY:World Braille Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Get ready\, because on January 4th it’s time to celebrate World Braille Day! I’m sure you can guess that this is a day of celebrating the innovation of braille\, but what is it\, really? \n What is World Braille Day all about? \n World Braille Day is celebrated every year on January 4th because it is Louis Braille’s birthday\, the inventor of braille! Louis was born in 1809 in France. He became blind after a childhood accident\, and he quickly mastered his new way of living. When he was just 15 years old\, he created the system we know today as braille\, based on a system of writing developed by Charles Barbier. Over the years braille was tweaked to make it easier to read\, and now it’s used the world over! \n Celebrate Braille Literacy \n World Braille Day is a reminder of the importance of accessibility and independence for those who are blind or visually-impaired. The reality is that many everyday establishments — restaurants\, banks\, hospitals — aren’t equipped with braille menus\, statements or bills. That means people with blindness or a vision impairment aren’t given the freedom to choose their own dinner … or to keep their finances private. \n World Braille Day spreads awareness about braille and other accessible forms of communication. Everyone deserves (and is legally entitled to) the same accommodations and service\, regardless of ability. On World Braille Day\, let’s remember that and do our part to make our workplaces more accessible for everyone. \n Braille literacy is also an important factor in equal opportunities for people with blindness. You can learn more about how literacy inequality affects those with a visual disability in our blog\, Inequality in Literacy for People with Visual Disabilities. \n Louis Braille didn’t get to see just how helpful his invention became. He died in 1852\, and it wasn’t until 2 years later that the school he attended as a child\, France’s Royal Institute for Blind Youth\, began teaching it to students. In 1916 it was used widely at schools for the blind in the United States. Today\, you’ll find braille on objects you use every day—signs\, ATMs\, elevators\, calculators\, and more. Rubix cubes\, watches\, legos\, and other innovations are constantly changing the way that Braille is used.

SUMMARY:Walk Your Dog Month 2022
DESCRIPTION:January is Walk Your Dog Month and what better way to kick start your New Years Resolutions by getting out in the great outdoors and walking off some of that festive food and drink? \nWith obvious health benefits for both you and your dog(s)\, this awareness month is a great way to help dust off the January blues\, get out and about\, meet other dog walkers and improve your own and your dogs well being. \nIn a 2017 clinical survey carried out by the Association of Pet Obesity Prevention\, it was found that 56% of dogs in the United States are obese equating to 50.2 million dogs across the Nation. \nThe number of pets with clinical obesity continues to increase. states APOP Founder\, veterinarian Dr. Ernie Ward. We’re continuing to see more pets diagnosed with obesity rather than overweight. Clinical obesity results in more secondary conditions such as arthritis\, high blood pressure\, kidney disease\, and certain forms of cancer. Pets with obesity also have reduced quality of life and shorter life expectancy. \nWith the biggest reason given for not being able to exercise pets appropriately being “too busy”\, Walk Your Dog Month is a great opportunity to set yourself some small targets to get out walking with your dog and hopefully change your habits long term to the benefit of you both. \nIt is important to note that before starting any exercise regime it would be worthwhile checking that your dog doesnt have any underlying health issues and when you do start frequent dog walking\, safety is key for both you and your dog. Some things to consider include: \nWearing brightly coloured or reflective clothing\, leashes and collars. \nStay in well lit public areas \nEnsure your dog has access to plenty of fresh clean water during if on a long walk and afterwards. \nProtect your dogs feet from the elements- ice\, snow and de-icers and grit can all cause nasty sores so be sure to protect your dogs feet and wash them down afterwards. \nMake sure your dog is warm or cool enough – particularly if young\, old or with a condition such as arthritis. \nBut most of all HAVE FUN!

SUMMARY:International Migrants Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:“On this International Migrants Day\, I call on the international community to act on the global compact on safe\, regular and orderly migration as an important contribution to building a world of peace\, prosperity\, dignity and opportunity for all.” ‚ UN Secretary-General\, Ban Ki-moon\nInternational Migrants Day\nThe total number of international migrants has increased from an estimated 175 million in 2000 to 244 million persons in 2015. Nearly two thirds of all international migrants live in Europe (76 million) or Asia (75 million). Migration is now more widely distributed across more countries. Today the top 10 countries of destination receive a smaller share of all migrants than in 2000. \nOne of every ten migrants is under the age of 15.  The impact of remittance flows is also significant having reached $436 billion in 2014  far exceeding official development assistance and\, excluding China\, foreign direct investment. \n Throughout human history\, migration has been a courageous expression of the individual’s will to overcome adversity and to live a better life. Today\, globalization\, together with advances in communications and transportation\, has greatly increased the number of people who have the desire and the capacity to move to other places. \nThis new era has created challenges and opportunities for societies throughout the world. It also has served to underscore the clear linkage between migration and development\, as well as the opportunities it provides for co-development\, that is\, the concerted improvement of economic and social conditions at both origin and destination. \nMigration draws increasing attention in the world nowadays. Mixed with elements of unforeseeability\, emergency\, and complexity\, the challenges and difficulties of international migration require enhanced cooperation and collective action among countries and regions. The United Nations is actively playing a catalyst role in this area\, with the aim of creating more dialogues and interactions within countries and regions\, as well as propelling experience exchange and collaboration opportunities. \nOn September 19\, 2016 the United Nations General Assembly adopted a set of commitments during its first ever summit on large movements of refugees and migrants to enhance the protection of refugees and migrants. These commitments are known as the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants (NY Declaration). The NY Declaration reaffirms the importance of the international protection regime and represents a commitment by Member States to strengthen and enhance mechanisms to protect people on the move. It paves the way for the adoption of two new global compacts in 2018: the global compact on refugees and the global compact for safe\, orderly and regular migration.

SUMMARY:Tree Dressing Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:Tree dressing\, in the first weekend of December\, is based on many old customs from all over the world and at different times of the year.\nTree Dressing Day falls on the first weekend of December. It was initiated by Common Ground in 1990 and has grown to become much more than an expression of a love for trees. It is a chance for the whole community to gather and celebrate the leafy friends we all have in common. It’s also a chance for communities to reflect on the social and cultural history of their local area\, and the role trees have played in shaping this story.\nTrees have long been celebrated for their spiritual significance. The simplicity of tying strips of cloth or yarn to a tree is universal and timeless. The old Celtic custom of tying cloth dipped in water from a holy well to a clootie tree‚echoes the practice in Japan of decorating trees with strips of white paper\, or tanzaku\, bearing wishes and poems. The twenty-first century trend of yarn bombing‚in Europe and North America transforms the local landscape with bright fabrics and yarns\, like the Buddhist tradition of tying ribbons around the trunk of the Bodhi tree in homage to Buddha\, or the annual Hindu festival of Raksha Bandhan when coloured strings are tied onto trees and plants to call upon the power of nature to protect loved ones.\nThese deep and diverse cultural associations provide a rich basis for tree festivities across the world. The act of dressing a tree binds us to it and celebrates the unique role that trees have in our local neighbourhoods.\nTree dressing is a powerful way of expressing our relationship with trees. Organising a Tree Dressing Day in your community is a wonderful way of saying thank you‚to the trees where you live. It is also the ideal moment to share tree stories with friends\, neighbours and colleagues. This year and every year join the many thousands of people across the UK who celebrate Tree Dressing Day and make sure your community’s voice is heard by saying thank you to the trees in your neighbourhood.

SUMMARY:National Day of Listening 2021
DESCRIPTION:Today is National Day of Listening. And while listening is something we promote any time of year\, today has a specific intention. \nCelebrated on the Friday after Thanksgiving\, National Listening Day was launched in 2008 by StoryCorps\, a Not For Profit Organization whose mission is to provide all Americans with an opportunity to tell\, record and preserve the stories of their lives. \nA wonderful and thoughtful alternative to the chaos that is Black Friday\, National Listening Day was organized to take place on this day as at is often a time that families are together\, with time away from work and other distractions to focus on one another. \nStoryCorps encourages participants to interview a loved on\, friend or member of their community and share the interview on the dedicated website.

SUMMARY:16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence 2021
DESCRIPTION:16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence is aimed at businesses to support them to take action against domestic abuse and violence. Employers have a legal obligation to assess dynamic risk and support the health and safety and wellness of their employees. Companies can do more to aid their employees who endure domestic violence\, to train those who witness it\, and to protect staff as a whole\, with the goal of securing safety and mitigating financial loss. Spanning across 16 days from 25th November to 10th December\, a theme will be identified each day to explore the various forms of domestic violence. In doing so\, the workplace will be better equipped to acknowledge the signs that indicate it may be going on. \n16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence stems from the original movement\, 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence. The movement was first begun at the Women’s Global Leadership Institute in 1991\, an event sponsored by the Centre for Women’s Global Leadership. \nSince 1991\, 5\,167 groups in 187 countries have contributed to promoting and supporting these 16 Days. Large organisations such as the world-renowned Amnesty International and World Health Organisation support and celebrate the 16 Days\, as well as far more local\, grassroots projects. \nEach organisation approaches the 16 Days differently\, some\, such as the World Health Organisation\, promote 16 facts regarding domestic violence in order to educate the public on an under-reported and misunderstood violation of human rights. \nSchools around the world have dedicated time and manpower to this movement as well\, as demonstrated by institutions such as Rutgers\, who have been extremely active and outspoken\, generating their own toolkit on how to approach domestic violence\, and much more. \nPublic sector work by the above organisations\, and hundreds of others are exemplary and indicate that people are dedicated to making the general public understand the impact of domestic violence on society\, through blogging\, community projects\, tweeting\, and putting on exhibitions. \n16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence has taken the model of the original movement\, and tailored it to businesses and has centred on the impact that domestic violence has on the workplace. The movement was not initiated by the Corporate Alliance\, rather it has built upon over two decades of fantastic work to focus on the workplace\, and eradicating the impact of abuse on business.

SUMMARY:Thanksgiving 2021
DESCRIPTION:Thanksgiving 2021 is observed on November 25th and we all know what it is right? \nJust in case you don’t\, here is some information about it! \nThanksgiving in the USA can be dated back as far as 1621 ( some will say earlier) when a group of pilgrims shared a feast with Native Americans by way of celebrating what had been a fruitful harvest. The previous years harvest had been a disaster with many of the pilgrims starving to death. The members of the Native American tribe kindly demonstrated to the remaining pilgrims how to tend the land to ensure crops would grow\, catch fish and generally become self sufficient. From this\, the first Thanksgiving was born. \nWith roots in religious and cultural traditions\, the day is also classed as a secular occasion and is an opportunity to give thanks for what you have. It is usually seen as the start of the festive season with celebrations often grand and prolonged\, with many celebrating Thanksgiving more so than Christmas. Many take the opportunity to get together with friends and family with many family and historical traditions observed; from parades\, turkeys cooked\, turkeys pardoned\, pumpkin pie and a days or two holiday- whats not to love? \nHappy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

SUMMARY:White Ribbon Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is White Ribbon Day?\nWhite Ribbon Day is held on November 25th\, also known as the International Day for the Eradication of Violence against Women\, and is an annual day to raise awareness of family violence. The day is run by the White Ribbon Campaign. \nViolence against women is a global problem\, and we need to do something about it. \nOn White Ribbon Day Thursday 25 November\, and the 16 days to end violence against women that follow\, we are asking people in their communities\, organisations and workplaces\, to come together\, and say ‘no’ to violence against women. \nWhen men lead by example as allies for gender equality then change will happen faster. We can all play our part – at home or work; on the sports field or in the classroom – every man has an important role to play in ending male violence towards women. \n\nWhen is White Ribbon Day?\nWhite Ribbon Day is held on November 25th. \n\nHistory of White Ribbon Day\nWhite Ribbon Day has been running for 17 years\, and was founded by a group of men in Canada who felt that they had to raise awareness and work towards prevention of violence against women. The White Ribbon Campaign and Day spread through Canada\, with hundreds of thousands of people joining the event in the first year\, and wearing white ribbons to oppose violence against women \nThe event then spread beyond Canada\, becoming international\, and the UK branch of the White Ribbon Campaign was founded in 2004 and has continued to grow since then. \nThe wearing of the white ribbon stands for never taking part in\, condoning or staying silent about violence against women. And on White Ribbon Day\, men and boys are encouraged to wear the white ribbon on November 25th and for a week or two afterwards to support and highlight that pledge. \nThe White Ribbon Campaign runs all year round\, and works to raise awareness of violence against women\, encouraging men to support women’s groups and raise awareness in schools and workplaces\, of violence against women\, and to raise money for the White Ribbon Campaign. The campaign distributes awareness information to schools\, maintains a website and run events\, and works tirelessly to prevent violence against women\, undoubtedly saving lives and preventing injuries as it does. \nHow to get Involved in White Ribbon Day\nPlease help us reach as many individuals\, workplaces\, communities and schools as we can. \nSome starter ideas: \n\n\nHow many people can you get to wear a white ribbon – Everyone in your workplace? All your friends? \n\n\nBe active on social media follow us and spread the word using #WhiteRibbon #AllMenCan #MakeThePromise \n\n\nFind out about becoming a White Ribbon accredited or supporter organisation \n\n\nDownload – Donate -Display the White Ribbon Promise Poster  \n\n\n

SUMMARY:National Adoption Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:National Adoption Day is observed annually on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. \nThis event is focused on raising awareness of children in foster care waiting to be adopted. The first National Adoption Day was held in 2000 by a coalition of national partners which included Children’s Action Network\, The Alliance for Children’s Rights\, Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and Freddie Mac Foundation. \nIn 2002\, the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute and Casey Family Services joined the coalition. \nThe National Adoption Day sponsors co-operate with states foster care agencies\, child advocates\, law firms\, and courts to complete the adoptions of children in foster care.

SUMMARY:Anti Bullying Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is Anti Bullying Week?\nBullying is a serious issue that affects many children\, teenagers and adults. \nOne of the most important things we can do to fight bullying is to raise awareness about it among all people involved in this process — parents\, teachers\, and students. It’s also crucial for everyone to know what they should do if they witness or experience bullying. \nAnti-Bullying Week is coordinated in England and Wales by the Anti-Bullying Alliance\, an international organisation that aims to eliminate bullying from society. One of their main initiatives for this year’s event has been Odd Socks Day on November 15th which was supported by CBBC star Andy Day with his band “Andy And The Odd socks.” \nKindness has never been more important than right now. It’s a time where kindness can break down barriers and brighten the lives of those around us! That’s why ‘One Kind Word’ was chosen as our Anti-bullying week theme this year – from November 15th to 19th\, you’ll be able take part in all sorts activities with other people who want their communities filled up by love instead hate \nAnti-Bullying Week was started in 2005 and since then has grown into one of the biggest anti-bullying events in England with thousands of schools taking part each year. The idea behind this week is simple — bring together as many people as possible under one umbrella so that we can work together on this common problem and make our world a better place for everyone! \nWhen is Anti Bullying Week?\nAnti-bullying week is a nationwide event that takes place in England from November 15th to 19th. This annual campaign\, organised by the Anti Bullying Alliance and supported by schools across Great Britain aims at raising awareness among children about the issue of bullying; especially within their own neighbourhood or school community \nParents\, carers and teachers will also be asked to play an active role in preventing bullying\, with the main focus this time around is demonstrating different ways to support young people and provide an open platform for them to talk about any issues they have with bullying. The main role that carers can provide is creating a safe environment where young people can feel like they are able to talk about their feelings and problems and will receive support. \nHow can I help raise awareness for Anti Bullying Week?\nOne word can change someone’s day. One kind phrase\, and it could be the difference between feeling hopeful for a moment or sinking into depression all day long- we should say “Hey” more often! \nOne gentle sentence spoken aloud has an astonishing power: It impacts us as much (if not more) than those around us; because once that person feels seen by us–and heard too—their mood improves exponentially.

SUMMARY:Talk Money Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is Talk Money Week?\nTalk Money Week is an annual campaign to get the nation talking about money. \nEach November we encourage the UK to talk about managing money – from pocket money right through to pensions – and celebrate the work done by thousands of organisations to build financial wellbeing across the country. \nThe week provides a platform to have a conversation about money between families and friends\, at work or at school or any other walk of life. Our goal is to turn talking about money from one of the UK’s least favourite topics into something commonplace. \nWhy talk money?\nPeople in the UK don’t talk about their money enough. Despite the COVID-19 crisis affecting our finances\, 9 in 10 UK adults – that’s 47 million of us – don’t find it any easier to talk about money\, or don’t even discuss it at all. \nOn the road to recovery from the pandemic\, financial wellbeing\, alongside physical and mental wellbeing will be crucial. But there is still work to be done to break down the taboo of talking money. That is why\, each November we encourage the nation to come together for Talk Money Week\, to start money conversations in any walk of life. \nThe week is designed to increase people’s sense of financial wellbeing by encouraging them to open up about personal finance – from pocket money to pensions. It’s an opportunity for everyone to get involved with events and activities across the UK which help people have more open conversations about money. \nWhen is Talk Money Week?\nTalk Money Week 2021 takes place on 8-12 November. Everyone has money worries – and for many\, the challenges of the pandemic have brought these to the fore – but just as you can take action to improve your physical health\, you can also take some simple steps to feel more in control of your financial wellbeing too. \nResearch shows that people who talk about money: \n\nmake better and less risky financial decisions\nhave stronger personal relationships\nhelp their children form good money habits for life\nfeel less stressed or anxious and more in control\n\nBuilding money conversations into our everyday lives also helps us build financial confidence and resilience to face income shocks\, life events and whatever the future throws at us.  A financially healthy nation is good for individuals\, communities\, business\, and the economy – can you help us #TalkMoney this year?

SUMMARY:Guy Fawkes Night 2021 (Bonfire Night)
DESCRIPTION:Guy Fawkes Night\, also known as Guy Fawkes Day\, Bonfire Night and Firework Night\, is an annual commemoration observed on 5 November\, primarily in Great Britain. Its history begins with the events of 5 November 1605\, when Guy Fawkes\, a member of the Gunpowder Plot\, was arrested while guarding explosivesthe plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life\, people lit bonfires around London\, and months later the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Actenforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot’s failure. \nWithin a few decades Gunpowder Treason Day\, as it was known\, became the predominant English state commemoration\, but as it carried strong Protestant religious overtones it also became a focus for anti-Catholic sentiment. Puritans delivered sermons regarding the perceived dangers of popery\, while during increasingly raucous celebrations common folk burnt effigies of popular hate-figures\, such as the pope. Towards the end of the 18th century reports appear of children begging for money with effigies of Guy Fawkes and 5 November gradually became known as Guy Fawkes Day. Towns such as Lewes and Guildford were in the 19th century scenes of increasingly violent class-based confrontations\, fostering traditions those towns celebrate still\, albeit peaceably. In the 1850s changing attitudes resulted in the toning down of much of the day’s anti-Catholic rhetoric\, and the Observance of 5th November Act was repealed in 1859. Eventually the violence was dealt with\, and by the 20th century Guy Fawkes Day had become an enjoyable social commemoration\, although lacking much of its original focus. The present-day Guy Fawkes Night is usually celebrated at large organised events\, centred on a bonfire and extravagant firework displays.

SUMMARY:National Family Caregivers Month 2021
DESCRIPTION:November is the month where we take time to recognise and give praise and support to the 78 million people who dedicate their time\, often unpaid\, caring for a family member in need. \nParticularly as we approach the festive season when focus is placed on family and quality time\, it is important that we show our appreciation for those who work tirelessly to provide care; whether it be financial\, medical\, domestic or emotional support.  We must never underestimate the strength that caregivers have for providing this support to those people who need it the most\, nor the toll that it can take both emotionally and physically upon them. \nThe devotion and love that these people show to their loved ones therefore quite rightly ought to be celebrated.  A Presidential Proclamation declaring November as National Family Caregivers Month provides much recognition for these devoted family members and acts as a backdrop for many national and local organisations to structure events\, raise funds\, provide support networks and most of all celebrate these wonderful people. \nEvery year a theme is chosen to focus awareness raising and information dissemination.  The focus for 2020 is yet to be confirmed. \nPerhaps you know someone or are yourself who cares for a family member and would benefit from engaging with the activity taking place throughout November.

SUMMARY:National Brush Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:National Brush Day is held in the United States on November 1. This observance focuses on raising awareness about the importance of children’s oral health. \nNational Brush Day was first observed in 2013 and has continued to grow and gather support from dental professionals\, parents and schools.   The date of November 1 was chosen because it is the day after Halloween and we all know just how many sweet treats kids consume on that holiday!  And with frequent consumption of sugary foods being the number one cause of tooth decay and one of the most common chronic childhood diseases in the U.S. it is only right that we encourage exceptional oral hygiene and support National Brush Day! \nNational Brush Day began as an extension of the Kid’s Healthy Mouths PSA campaign launched by the Partnership for Healthy Mouths\, Health Lives and the Ad Council. The campaign is designed to encourage parents to make sure their children brush their teeth for at least two minutes\, two times a day. \nThough this task may seem easy enough\, as we are sure those of you who have kids will be very aware\, many kids refuse to brush their teeth even for two minutes because they get bored quickly and do not realise the damage that can take place. To help parents\, the PSA has cleverly provided funny two-minute videos that can distract children while brushing. \nIt is important to keep in mind that good tooth-brushing habits help prevent severe oral pain and many tooth disorders as well as significantly improve children’s dental health. So get behind this initiative and lets try educate our kids a little bit more!

SUMMARY:Halloween 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is Halloween?\nThe day of the dead\, also known as All Hallows Eve or Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31 and this year’s Halloween will occur on Sunday the 31st. The tradition originated from an ancient Celtic festival called Samhain which people would perform rituals to ward off ghosts by wearing costumes while they lit bonfires at night time in order for these souls not roam about freely during daylight hours when humans were active working or farming their land. \nIt marked a pivotal time of year when seasons changed\, but more importantly\, observers also believed the boundary between this world and the next became especially thin. They connected with those who had passed on by believing it was possible to see them during November’s harvest festival known as Samhain. \n \n  \nA similar idea can be found across other cultures’ holidays such as Judaism’s Yom Kippur which typically occurs in October. \n“The word\, ‘Halloween\,’ is a contraction of the Scottish term ‘All Hallows’ Eve.’ This simply described night before All Saints Day\,” says Brian Sterling-Vete PhD.\, historian and author who has spent his life researching paranormal investigations to find out if they are real or fake for those interested in investigating themselves. \nAll Saints Day started with early Christianity. In the eighth century\, Pope Gregory III moved the feast day from May 13th to November 1 and turned it into All Martyrs’ Day (which focuses on praying for those who die). Then 1000 A D.\, The Catholic Church added another holiday called “All Souls’Day” which is focused specifically on prayers over dead souls; this addition happened around that time period too! \nWhen is Halloween?\nMany people love to dress up and celebrate this spooky day\, which occurs on October 31st each year! Halloween is likely most celebrated in North America and Canada. However\, celebrating All Hallows Eve is becoming increasingly popular in the UK\, Europe and Australia. \nIn Mexico\, the Day of the Dead is a time for celebration and honouring those who have crossed over. The population dresses up in costumes to show their creativity with colourful skeletons being common among these outfits as well as people setting off fireworks or lighting candles at gravesites on November 2nd so that departed loved ones may return home during this festival which takes place from October 31st to November 2nd. \n \nHow to Celebrate Halloween\nOne of the most exciting parts about Halloween is getting together with friends to dress up in costumes and have a party. But there are so many other traditions that make this yearly celebration fun for everyone! \nCarving Pumpkins\nThe jack-o’lantern is a symbol of Halloween\, and its roots can be traced all the way back to Christian mythology. In Christianity it represents an unyielding soul who has been denied entry into heaven or hell – they’re called “soul peddlers.” \n \n\nTrick-or-treating\nThe most popular Halloween tradition is the practice of trick-or-treating. The custom began in 16th century Scotland and was thought to protect children from evil spirits by making them appear as monsters or scary creatures\, which later evolved into masks that cover one’s entire face with an orange jumpsuit included! \nHalloween movies and haunted houses\nThe best way to feel scary on a night when you should be sleeping is by watching some Halloween-themed movies. You wouldn’t want someone chasing after your with a bloody knife\, so why do people seeking out the thrill of being chased during this time? It’s because doing what scares us has been shown in research studies like mirror neurons (which help produce an emotional response) and endorphins which create feelings such as excitement or alertness; these chemicals are released when we’re afraid but also cause pleasure somehow! \n\nSkulls\, skeletons\, and ghosts\nDecorating with skulls\, skeletons and ghosts has been a popular Halloween tradition for centuries. The imagery often refers to the ancients’ very serious fixation on the dead returning on October 31st — whether in spirit or with whatever is left of their mortal bodies. Or even further back in Christian tradition; specifically Golgotha (or Calvary) where Jesus was crucified after being executed by Pontius Pilate before returning. “The skull serves as a reminder of death being ever-present amidst life\, and of our short and transitory human existence\,” says Sterling-Vete. \nBobbing for apples\nBobbing for apples is a traditional Roman party game that’s been played since before the days of Halloween. The tradition reminds us how important our agricultural roots are in this country\, and not just because they provide treats!

SUMMARY:National Bug Busting Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:The aim on national Bug Busting Days is to find all the head lice and zap them in one fell swoop.  This stops them from circulating endlessly. \nOften a child who has caught head lice in the last month will show no obvious symptoms\, but they are still contagious.  In most cases there will be just 10 or so lice on the head\, and parents will not discover them unless they use a Bug Buster Kit.  This contains the unique Bug Buster combs\, expressly designed and scientifically tested for accurate louse detection\, and full\, easy-to-follow instructions on using them with ordinary shampoo and conditioner.  Remember it is always necessary to check again the Bug Busting way after treatment because none is guaranteed to kill all head lice and their eggs. \nYou can also check out this NHS Choices website entry on head lice.  It includes a clear explanation of how head lice are caught and what environmental precautions are relevant to control. \nThe charity Community Hygiene Concern produces Bug Busting materials for schools and Bug Buster Kits for families on a not-for-profit basis. \nIf you require any further information you can: \n 	Ring the Bug Buster Help Line on 01908 561928\n 	Email bugbusters2k@yahoo.co.uk or\n 	Visit the official National Bug Busting Day website \nSchools and nurseries up and down the country introduce parents to Bug Busting and louse control becomes fun\, without tears\, based on sound science. \nBug Busting Days are organised by the charity Community Hygiene Concern in partnership with the Department of Health. \nBug Busting Days take place on 31 January\, 15 June and 31 October.

SUMMARY:National Black Cat Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:National Black Cat Day is held each year on the 27th October and was organised by Cats Protection back in 2011 with the aim of promoting the beauty of black cats. \nIn the past black cats have suffered from a bad rep\, with superstition and folklore around the world playing a huge part in this. Did you know that in previous years black cats in rescues took on average 7 days longer to be rehomed than their furry friends of other colours? \nAlthough the hard work of Cats Protection and the yearly Black Cat Day campaign has helped to boost the profile of these beautiful little guys – in turn helping to reduce the time that they spend waiting for their forever homes\, let’s keep banging the drum of our black furry friends and celebrate all things great about them this October 27th! \nYou can get involved on social media by using the hashtag #BlackCatDay or if you really want to show the love and you think that you have the purrfect home to share with a feline friend then check out Cats Protection for more details on how to adopt a cat. \n

SUMMARY:National Adoption Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is National Adoption Week?\nNational Adoption Week hopes to promote a better understanding of adoption through real life stories from many different points of view including adoptees themselves and adoptive parents – hearing what it means to them and how they feel about having been adopted or previous adoptive parents and family members in welcoming somebody else into their family. \nIn the UK\, there are almost 3\,000 children in need of an adoptive family and the number of adoptions in England has fallen by a third in four years. In response to this #YouCanAdopt aims to break down barriers for potential adopters by encouraging them to talk about their decision with friends and family and helping to guide potential candidates in learning more about what the adoption process involves. \nAs ever the campaign will also aim to find homes for those children who so desperately need them. \nWhen is National Adoption Week?\nThis National Adoption Week will take place between the 18th and 24th October. During this year’s National Adoption Week you can find out more about what’s happening here .

SUMMARY:Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day?\nIt can be hard to find support when you’re grieving the loss of an infant. \nPAILRD is a day for family\, friends and community members to come together in remembrance of babies who have died. This annual event helps people feel less alone while they grieve their loss. \nThe goal of this national holiday is to raise awareness about pregnancy and infant loss so that more families know where they can turn for help if they need it. When someone has lost a baby\, there are very few places that provide them with information or resources regarding grief counselling or memorials services like burial markers or urns. \nBy raising awareness about this cause you will be helping moms everywhere get the support they need during one of the most difficult times in their lives. Thank you! #ShareYourLove#PregnancyAndInfantLossRemembranceDay#Give \nWhen is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day?\nPlease join us on October 15th by wearing blue ribbons or sharing pictures of yourself holding a blue ribbon on social media using #pailrd so we can raise awareness about Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day! You can also donate money towards causes dedicated to helping families cope with their loss through organizations such as Compassionate Friends\, which provides support groups for bereaved parents and children across North America. \nThe history of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day?\nThe movement to create National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day was begun by Robyn Bear\, Lisa Brown\, Tammy Novak. They petitioned the federal government for recognition of October 15th as a specific day that would celebrate pregnancy losses in America’s history- which led first lady Pat Nixon promise “more awareness” about these types events if elected president during her 1972 campaign promises speech (1976).

SUMMARY:National Coming Out Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is National Coming Out Day?\nNational coming out day is celebrated on October 11th on a yearly basis. It grows and becomes more well known every single year. National coming out day is a time for those in the LGBT community to finally be open about who they are to their friends\, family and the world! \nThis day was actually founded way back in 1988 and since then it has hit the world by storm. Being out and proud as a lesbian person\, a bisexual person\, a gay person or a trans person is such a liberation and is sure to completely transform your life for the better. \nThere is no question that homophobia and ignorance builds on silence so it is time to end that silence. Being proud of who you are and who you live will make you happier within yourself. Research has shown that if somebody KNOWS somebody who is part of the LGBT community\, they are much less likely to be homophobic. \n‘Coming out’ basically means expressing your sexuality to the world in order to end the stigma and this is exactly what NCDO is about. Get out of that closest and do it proudly on this special day of the year. \n  \nWhen is National Coming Out Day?\nNational coming out day is celebrated on October 11th on a yearly basis.

SUMMARY:World Mental Health Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is World Mental Health Day? \nThe overall objective of World Mental Health Day is to raise awareness and promote more support for mental health. The day provides an opportunity where any stakeholder who works on mental health issues can talk about what they do\, as well as how we all have a role in making sure that people everywhere get the care they need when it comes mental health. \nMental health has long been an issue of concern for the global community. The theme for this year’s World Mental Health Day\, which was established by the World Federation for Mental Health is ‘Mental health in an unequal world‘. \nFrom the beginning of this pandemic\, mentalhealth.org have been tracking the impact on people’s mental health. The research has shown that some of those struggling most are those with with long-term conditions\, people facing discrimination and parents juggling everything themselves.  \nThat is why they have launched a £2 million initiative dedicated specifically for these families: The Covid Response Programme with the aim to prevent them falling through cracks when times get tough; to help reduce financial strain during difficult periods because let’s face it—raising kids alone isn \nThe importance of World Mental Health Day can’t be understated. As it’s a day to talk about the state-of- mental health in general\, how we should look after our own well being and get help if needed. \n When is World Mental Health Day? \nThe World Health Organisation recognises World Mental Health Day on 10 October every year.

SUMMARY:Animal Road Accident Awareness Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:No animal deserves to be left in the road like rubbish following a road traffic accident.\nToday is a day to remember the fallen\, and to help spread the message of how there’s still a chance to change the fate of those who have not yet found themselves in this position. So many animals never getting the option of a second chance\, for no other reason but the driver didn’t see their lives as important enough to give them a second thought. All animals deserve a chance of survival. \nEvery day in the UK\, 630 cats will be hit by cars. 25% of hits will be fatal\, meaning 75% have a good chance at survival if the driver seeks help straight away. Find out how you can help if you hit or find a cat in the road on our website.\nIn Britain\, annual road casualties are estimated to account for 100\,000 fox deaths\, 50\,000 badgers\, 50\,000 deer\, 30 million birds and 29% of hedgehogs. Based on statistical analysis of those potentially unrecorded\, the realistic death rate is estimated to be around 70million animals. A waste of life summed up in numbers that are hard to comprehend. \nWildlife casualties should be reported to your nearest wildlife rescue at http://www.helpwildlife.co.uk/sick-or-injured-wildlife/ They are specifically trained to care for and rehabilitate wildlife. Domestic pets should be taken to the nearest veterinary practice\, alive or deceased. Persons taking injured animals to a veterinarian will not incur costs. Veterinarians are only obliged to administer pain relief to relieve suffering so ensure pets are microchipped and the details kept up to date.

SUMMARY:National Baby Swimming Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:LET’S GET CHILDREN SWIMMING \nSince March 2020\, every aspect of children’s education has been impacted\, and this includes the life-saving skill of learning how to swim. The Impact of Coronavirus on School Swimming and Water Safety report reveals that more than one million children could leave school unexpected to swim. And even before the pandemic\, almost one in four children could not swim the statutory 25 metres when they left primary school. \nThis National Baby Swimming Week\, we want to raise awareness about the benefits of getting children into a pool as early as possible and get them swimming. Baby swimming doesn’t just teach little one’s key water safety skills but can boost their confidence in and out of the water. Who knows\, your little one could be part of the next generation of swimming Olympians?

SUMMARY:Wool Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:After careful consideration\, it is with great regret that we write to inform you that Shetland Wool Week 2021 is cancelled due to the ongoing concerns relating to the Coronavirus pandemic.  We are deeply saddened that our annual gathering of wool aficionados and friends will not take place this autumn. \nWe have held off in the hope that there would be more positive news. While the initial roll out of vaccines is encouraging\, it is still a time of great uncertainty and our primary concern is for the safety of the island community and our Wool Week visitors\, who join us from all over the world. It is our view that cancelling the event is the responsible thing to do. \nHaving reviewed the situation in detail we do not feel we can deliver a socially distanced physical event that will capture the spirit of SWW. So many of you join us to make friends in large and small groups\, be spontaneous\, take hands-on\, practical classes\, and drop in to the numerous events that are laid on by the Shetland public throughout the isles. \nWe want to deliver a Wool Week that you have come to know and love and we will prepare for something really special for 2022. \nFor this year though\, we will replace the event with an online version during what would have been SWW: 25 September – 3 October 2021 and build on the success and enthusiasm for last year’s virtual programme.  A SWW Annual publication for 2021 is also planned. \nAs always\, we thank you for your continued support and we look forward to sharing our virtual plans with you. In the meantime you can look back at some of our virtual highlights from last year on our YouTube channel and on SWW IGTV. \nThe Campaign for Wool’s annual Wool Week is designed to educate\, inspire and promote the benefits of wool. This will run from the 25th September 3rd October.

SUMMARY:Child Health Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:Child Health Day is a national observance in the United States observed on the first Monday of October annually. \nThis observance focuses on raising people’s awareness about how they can protect and develop children’s health. \nChild Health Day was first celebrated in 1928\, after the proclamation by President Calvin Coolidge. It was initially observed on May 1 however in 1960\, it was moved to the first Monday of October and has been observed on this day every year since then. \nAlthough it is a national observance\, it does not have the status of a public holiday. \nOn Child Health Day\, many health organizations and health professionals across the country organize various activities and events aimed at informing parents of the importance of prenatal and newborn care\, regular doctor visits\, healthy eating and physical activity as well as the means of preventing and treating illnesses and injuries. This national observance is supported by many organizations such as the Health Resources and Services Administration and the Maternal and Child Health Library. \nThe health of our children should always be of primary importance to us\, therefore this important awareness campaign deserves our full support. Why not make use of the many tools available from the many agencies participating in the campaign to educate yourself and your children about good health practices?

DESCRIPTION:The United Nations has designated the first Monday of October of every year as World Habitat Day. \nThe purpose of World Habitat Day is to reflect on the state of our towns and cities\, and on the basic right of all to adequate shelter. It is also intended to remind the world that we all have the power and the responsibility to shape the future of our cities and towns. \nWorld Habitat Day was established in 1985 by the United Nations General Assembly through Resolution 40/202\, and was first celebrated in 1986. \nEach year\, World Habitat Day takes on a new theme to bring attention to UN-Habitat’s mandate to promote sustainable development policies that ensure adequate shelter for all. \nThe theme for this year’s World Habitat Day is Accelerating urban action for a carbon-free world.  Cities are responsible for some 70 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions with transport\, buildings\, energy\, and waste management accounting for the bulk of urban greenhouse gas emissions. \nThe future of our planet depends on national\, regional and local governments and organizations\, communities\, academic institutions\, the private sector and all relevant stakeholders working together to create sustainable\, carbon-neutral\, inclusive cities and towns. \nWorld Habitat Day will amplify the global Race to Zero Campaign and UN-Habitat’s ClimateAction4Cities and encourage local governments to develop actionable zero-carbon plans in the run up to the international climate change summit COP26 in November. \nMore information about this year’s World Habitat Day celebrations will be posted soon. \nPlease feel free to contact us on our NEW email address: unhabitat-whd@un.org

SUMMARY:National Bullying Prevention Month 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is National Bullying Prevention Month?\nAs a parent\, as I’m sure many of you are\, one of my worst fears is to find that my children are either being bullied\, or being a bully themselves.  I often wonder how we would deal with discovering either of these scenarios. In a world where bullying can take on many new and different forms\, it concerns me that not enough parents\, guardians\, families and friends would know what to do for the best.   \nAlthough sad that such an awareness campaign has to  exist in the first place\, it’s also reassuring and useful to know that the National Bullying Prevention Center run the National Bullying Prevention Month throughout the month of October with lots of information and support readily available to help anyone who may need it.   \nEstablished by PACER\, a center for parent training and information for families and youth with disabilities\, the initial campaign was designed to raise awareness of the long lasting effects that bullying has on many children and young people and to change the perception that bullying is a part of growing up that cannot be challenged.  Collaborating with education-based organizations such as the National PTA\, the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association they provide schools\, parents and students with the educational resources and support to better respond to bullying behavior. \nWhen is National Bullying Prevention Month?\nThroughout the month of October\, the campaign aims to work at a grassroots level with local schools\, community groups\, young people and families to address any issues faced by them\, signpost to organisations who may be able to offer support\, educate youngsters about the effects of bullying and promote kindness\, acceptance and inclusion.  On a higher level they also work with news and media outlets encouraging them to promote their message and cause as well as communicating with education and public policy leaders about the role they play in bullying prevention.  \nThe dedicated website has many ways you can show your support – be it as an individual\, school or community\, as well as offering ideas for activities for all school ages\, a really useful toolkit advising of lesson plans and details of special events planned across the nation.   \nNow a nationally recognised awareness campaign with support from Facebook\, Disney\, Instagram\, CNN\, TLC and Yahoo! Kids and many\, many more organisations this is a campaign that should be embraced by all within our communities.

SUMMARY:International School Library Month 2021
DESCRIPTION:International School Library Month (ISLM) is an opportunity for those in charge of school libraries around the world to choose a day\, week\, or the entire month in October to celebrate the importance of school libraries and to celebrate everything great about them. \nA previous year’s theme for ISLM was Why I Love My School Library”. It was based on the annual IASL conference theme of Innovation\, Information and Impact of School Libraries”. The focus of this was on the impact of school libraries and we chose a theme wording that we believed would be accessible to all our participants (aged 3 to 20 years). We invited people to celebrate ISLM by engaging in projects and activities to express why they love their school library. We hope that this year’s ISLM will be a wonderful\, worldwide song of joy in and love for the school library. \nThe ISLM team facilitates a number of activities that you might like to participate in as part of the celebration and no doubt you will also have your own ideas for how best to make the most of ISLM in your libraries. No matter how big or small your school library please do consider getting involved. \nISLM is open to everybody\, whether you are a member of IASL or not\, so spread the word and start gearing up for a super time for ISLM this October! And remember\, you can tell everybody about your ISLM by sending information and photos to our What People are Doing for ISLM page.

SUMMARY:National Cholesterol Month 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is National Cholesterol Month\nHeart disease is the UK’s biggest killer\, claiming more lives than cancer and road accidents combined. \nIt’s estimated that over half of people in the UK have high cholesterol but only 1 in 4 are aware they have it. That means 3 million people could be at risk of heart disease without even knowing it! This year we want to raise awareness about high cholesterol during National Cholesterol Month by encouraging everyone to take part in our 100 mile Great Cholesterol Challenge. \nThe challenge will run throughout October\, starting on the 1st October and ending on 31st October. You can choose which method you would like to use for your challenge; running\, cycling or swimming. Whatever you decide\, simply record how many miles you do each day using an app such as Strava or Map My Run/Cycle/Swim etc.\, then enter your total mileage into our fundraising tool when prompted at the end of the month \nTo help raise awareness about this problem we’re hosting National Cholesterol Month to encourage everyone to learn more about their own blood lipid numbers and take action if needed. We’ll also be raising funds for HEART UK so they can continue to work towards finding a cure and helping those affected by cardiovascular diseases through research and support services. \n When is National Cholesterol Month\nNational Cholesterol Month runs for the entire month of October

SUMMARY:ADHD Awareness Month 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is ADHD Awareness Month \nADHD is a very common disorder which affects children and adults. It has for many years been recognised as a childhood issue that affects focus\, self-control and many other important skills. However\, it has only recently been recognised as an adult problem too. The cause is an imbalance in the brains anatomy and its wiring \nWe all know someone who suffers from this condition but there are still some people out there who don’t believe it exists or think of it as something to be ashamed of.  \nADHD Awareness Month aims to raise awareness about the existence of ADHD among both sufferers and non-sufferers alike by creating positive change through education. \nThere are many charities that offer support for those with ADHD\, including Children With Attention Deficit Disorder (CWADD)\, The National Resource Center on AD/HD (NRC) and CHADD (Children And Adults With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder). These organisations provide information about the condition as well as offering resources such as books on managing the condition at home or work place. They also offer advice on finding specialist help if needed. \nWhen is ADHD Awareness Month \nADHD Awareness Month runs throughput October.  \nHow did ADHD Awareness Month Get Started?\nAn ADHD Awareness Day was how it all started. A resolution was passed by the United States Senate that declared September 7th as National Attention Deficit Disorder Day in 2006. From there it grew into a full month by 2004. The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of ADHD\, by providing information that is reliable. The information is based on research and scientific evidence.

SUMMARY:World School Milk Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:World School Milk Day is held all over the world on the last Wednesday of September every year to celebrate the benefits and success of school milk programmes. \nThe first World School Milk Day was celebrated in September 2000 and has since become an annual event promoted by the FAO (Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations). \nThe History \nIn the UK\, our history of school milk spans back over 100 years to the Provision of Meals Act 1906. This recognised that the provision of school food would allow needy and undernourished children to benefit more from education. Also\, that milk was a food that could be provided to children to prevent poor nutrition. \nAfter the Great Depression and the World Wars malnutrition among children was a great concern. So school milk schemes were introduced and developed. Throughout the 20th century\, the provision of milk to school children has helped combat undernutrition in times of scarcity. \nSchool Milk Today \nMilk and dairy products continue to play a role in children’s diets today. A carton of school milk provides a 4-6 year old with: \n52% of their recommended calcium intake\n59% of their recommended iodine intake\n100% of their recommended vitamin B12 intake\n59% of their recommended B2 intake. \nFor older children aged 7-10 years\, a carton of milk provides: \n42% of their recommended calcium intake\n53% of their recommended iodine intake\n100% of their recommended vitamin B12\n47% of their recommended B2 intake. \nMilk also provides energy and protein for their growth and development. \nWorld School Milk Day is celebrated in many countries\, with an increasing number of activities taking place each year. Schools and milk providers are free to celebrate as they wish. Celebrations can be at any level – from national or regional events to individual schools. Find out more about dairy and health for primary school children.

SUMMARY:National Public Lands Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:National Public Lands Day (NPLD) is a national annual observance that typically falls on the last Saturday in September. It focuses on volunteer conservation of public lands (lands held by central or local governments). \nOrganized each year by the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF)\, National Public Lands Day promotes the connection between people and the environment by inviting everyone to get outside. Public lands in the United States include parks\, forests\, and wildlife management areas. Most of them are open for recreational use. \nThe Nations largest volunteer event\, the event was first held in 1994 when 700 volunteers worked at three sites. The initiative turned out a huge success and became an annual tradition. \nBy 2014\, participation grew to about 175\,000 volunteers at more than 2\,000 sites throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. NPLD focuses on caring for public lands across the country\, educating the citizens about the natural resources and environment. Whether it be from damage caused by natural disasters and extreme weather\, human activities or the host of other factors that impact upon our public lands threatening the health and well being of the people and wildlife who depend upon them\, public land managers\, volunteers\, and others who steward these special places work tirelessly to restore these areas\, make them more resilient to future threats\, and ensure that people and wildlife continue to enjoy them for years to come. \nIt is supported by federal agencies\, state\, regional and local governments\, and non-profit organizations. NPLD volunteers collect invasive plants\, build and maintain trails\, plant trees\, shrubs and other plants\, remove trash from trails and other places. They also donate money through volunteer services to help improve public land sites. \nFree for all to attend and volunteers welcomed\, what a fantastic opportunity to get outdoors\, breathe in the fresh air\, enjoy the scenery and even volunteer!

SUMMARY:Seed Gathering Season 2021
DESCRIPTION:Since 1998\, The Tree Council has been organising Seed Gathering Season\, the autumn campaign to inspire everyone to gather seeds\, fruits and nuts and grow the trees of the future. The festival starts each year on the 23rd September (the autumn equinox\, considered to be the first day of autumn) and continues until the 23rd October\, giving our volunteer Tree Wardens and member organisations plenty of days on which to hold events\, with lots of opportunities for everyone to hear and get inspired. \nAt a time when trees are also being ravaged by newly imported pests and diseases\, one important factor for the survival of some species is going to be diversity of stock and the way forward is going to be trees grown from local seed\, on home soil. Growing seeds from healthy UK trees is probably one of the best ways of taking out insurance that there will be strong saplings to plant where the gaps appear. \nGrowing trees from local seed can have great benefits in restocking areas with trees of local provenance. The concept of local provenance suggests that trees that are adapted to the local circumstances are more likely to flourish and so help restore\, conserve and beautify local urban and rural spaces. Collecting seeds and growing trees is also a great way to get children involved and start growing the next generation of tree enthusiasts.\nInterested in getting involved? You can find events on our Near You map. \nIf you’re interested in organising your own event in 2020\, read further to get some tips on how to grow trees from the seeds. To find out about the kind of activities which took place in your area last year\, for inspiration\, you can look at past events. You can also find more information in our publications Trees and How to Grow Themand The Good Seed Guide. Don’t forget to list your event on our website\, so that other people can come and join you! \nIf you want to get more people in your community involved\, or publicise seed gathering in a school or youth group\, use our downloadable poster.

SUMMARY:International Day of Peace 2021
DESCRIPTION:International Day of Peace is an International event that is observed each year by nations all across the world. \nThe event is commemorated on 21st of September each year. It is a day that was set aside by the United Nations General assembly for everyone around the world to devote to keeping peace\, despite any differences they may have\, as well as play a part in building a peace culture that will last for generations to come. \nInternational Day of Peace was started way back in 1981 through the resolution 36/67 by the United Nations General Assembly\, in an effort to reconcile people around the world. Last year’s theme was\, Together for Peace: Respect\, Safety\, and Dignity for all. This year’s theme is yet to be announced. \nCommunities across the world observe this day in different ways. Some observe the day through organising peace workshops\, engaging in feasts that bring people together for peace\, putting up peace poles\, and engaging in peace activities that bring people together. An activity that is common in people observing this day is the one minute silence that is observed at 12 noon across all time zones. This activity was started to create a ‘Peace Wave’ that moves around the globe.

SUMMARY:World Alzheimer's Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:September 21st every year is World Alzheimer’s Day around the world. This is an international campaign aimed at raising awareness and challenge the common stigma that surrounds Alzheimer related dementia. \nAlzheimer’s is a progressive disease that impairs memory and other mental functions. It is the most common form of dementia that generalizes memory loss and loss of other essential cognitive abilities that are serious enough to interfere with an individual’s daily life. \nSeptember 2021 marks the 10th world Alzheimer’s month since the campaign was launched in 2012. From previous studies\, an average of 2 out of 3 people globally have little or no understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and associated dementia in their countries. \nSince its inception\, the impact of World Alzheimer’s Month is increasing. However\, the stigmatisation and lack of information surrounding dementia remains to be a global problem that calls for global action. Most people often think that this disease is a normal part of ageing. \nThough this may not be true\, a greatest risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease is increasing age. This is evident by majority of Alzheimer’s patients being 65 years or older. This doesn’t completely classify the disease as an elderly disease. This is because there are approximately 200\,000 Americans under 65 suffering from disease. \nFor this year’s event\, organisations and interested individuals can get involved by supporting awareness through contacting the Alzheimer’s association in their specific country.

SUMMARY:Recycle Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:Recycle Week is Recycle Now’s flagship annual event which is a celebration of recycling across the nation. Now in its 18th year\, it’s the one week of the year where retailers\, brands\, waste management companies\, trade associations\, governments and the media come together to achieve one goal: to galvanise the public into recycling more of the right things\, more often. \nThis year’s theme: Step It Up this Recycle Week\nThe Climate Crisis is a tough subject. But we’re a nation of even tougher subjects. The last 15 months have shown that. And while throughout the past year many things have happened over which we’ve had no control\, the Climate Crisis is something we can actively do something about. Every one of us\, every single day. Most of us already do\, through small but powerful habits – like recycling. We know environmental concerns are still on the increase\, so we need to do more. We need to do it now. And we need to act together. It’s time to join the fight against climate change. Step It Up this Recycle Week. \nWith our proven track record of tapping into national conversations and sentiments\, this year’s Recycle Week is set to be a truly impactful national event.

SUMMARY:National Eye Health Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:This year’s National Eye Health Week is set to take place from the 20th to 26th September 2021. 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. During any sight test\, other health conditions including diabetes and high blood pressure can be detected.\nTo maintain healthy eyes\, you should eat well\, avoid smoking and wear eye protection during bright sunlight. \nThe importance of eye sight towards the overall wellbeing\, independence and quality of life of an individual is too important to be ignored. This is why eye care charities\, health professionals and organisations across the UK are encouraged to join together during this week to promote the importance of eye health and need for regular tests.

SUMMARY:International Talk Like A Pirate Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:Argh me hearties! So yer ‘ere to learn the vast secrets of this sacred day that soon be upon us!? \nYou guessed it\, we’re referring to ‘International Talk Like a Pirate Day’. If you’re here to get all the deets about when it is\, why it is and what to do for it\, then keep on reading! \nOrigins \nThis celebration was started in June 1995 (more than twenty years ago!) A innovative Ol’ Chumbucket and Cap’n Slappy (formally known as John Baur and Mark Summers) sat down and decided to start the holiday as a fun way to dress up as pirates and talk like them too! \nThis day offers an opportunity to not only mess around but to give something back. People can dress up as pirates and raise money for charities\, what’s better than that!? \nWhat Do I do? \nThis part is easy. Make sure you grab yourself an eye patch\, bandana\, baggy shirt and a little toy parrot or monkey. Make sure you use awful grammar and jump right into that accent. You could even have a pirate-themed party with edible gold coins and balloon sword fights! Don’t forget to get out Treasure Island or Pirates of the Caribbean if you’re not feeling as academic. \nPublic Service Announcement \nThough this is a pirate imitation day\, please do not pillage\, steal or brawl. Actual pirates aren’t that great\, so best to go for the parody version!

SUMMARY:Great British Beach Clean 2021
DESCRIPTION:The Great British Beach Clean is a week-long citizen science event\, where hundreds of beach cleans take place up and down the UK. Litter data collected drives our conservation work and also feeds into the International Coastal Clean-up (ICC). \n\nThis year’s Great British Beach Clean will take place between Friday 17th – Sunday 26th September 2021. \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. \n\n\n\n\n\n425 litter items found per 100m of beach surveyed at last year’s Great British Beach Clean \n\n\n\n\n30% of beach cleans last year found face masks and PPE \n\n\n\n\n55% drop in plastic bags found on UK beaches since 5p charge introduced \n\n\n\n\nBut it’s not job done. We need to gather more and more data to wage war on other types of beach litter\, and you can help. \nWant to run your own beach clean event? Find out how to become an organiser \nMake 2021 your year to save our seas. \nTo get involved this year find an event near you – events as a list or on a map. Sign up for the event/s you’d like to attend and the beach clean organiser will be in touch. \nThe Great British Beach Clean includes the Great Channel Islands Beach Clean and Great Northern Irish Beach Clean.

SUMMARY:National POW / MIA Recognition Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:National POW/MIA Recognition Day is an observance that honours whose who were prisoners of war (POW) as well as those who are still missing in action (MIA). \nIt is observed in the United States on the third Friday in September\, in 2021 17th September. \nNational POW/MIA Recognition Day was proclaimed by the United States Congress in 1998. It is one of the six national observances when the POW/MIA Flag can be flown. The other five observances are Armed Forces Day\, Memorial Day\, Flag Day\, Independence Day\, and Veterans Day. The POW/MIA flag was created by the National League of Families in 1972 and was officially recognized by the Congress in 1990. It is a symbol of concern about United States military personnel taken as POW or listed as MIA. The POW/MIA flag should be no larger than the United States flag. It is typically flown immediately below or adjacent to the national flag as second in the order of precedence. \nOn National POW/MIA Recognition Day\, the flag is flown on the grounds of major military installations\, veterans memorials\, government agencies\, federal national cemeteries. \nIn the armed forces\, a single table and chair draped with the POW/MIA flag are displayed in mess halls and dining halls. Such installation symbolises the hope for the return of these who are missing in action.

SUMMARY:National Eczema Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:In Previous National Eczema Weeks we urged everyone to Take action on eczema’. 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.

SUMMARY:Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Awareness Week 2021 takes place between September 13th and 19th\, and is an annual event to raise awareness of the condition and the impact on sufferers and their families. 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.

SUMMARY:World Suicide Prevention Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:World Suicide Prevention Day is observed on September 10 each year to promote worldwide action to prevent suicides. Various events and activities are held during this occasion to raise awareness that suicide is a major preventable cause of premature death. \nWhat do people do?\nWorld Suicide Prevention Day gives organizations\, government agencies and individuals a chance to promote awareness about suicide\, mental illnesses associated with suicide\, as well as suicide prevention. Organizations such as the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) and World Health Organization (WHO) play a key role in promoting this event. \nEvents and activities for World Suicide Prevention Day include: \n\nThe launch of new government initiatives to prevent suicide.\nConferences\, open days\, educational seminars or public lectures.\nMedia programs promoting suicide awareness and prevention.\nMemorial services or candlelight ceremonies to remember those who died from suicide.\nOrganizing cultural or spiritual events\, fairs or exhibitions.\nLaunches of publications about suicide awareness and prevention.\nTraining courses about suicide and depression awareness.\n\nMany of these initiatives are celebrated in various countries worldwide. Some of these events and activities are held at a local level\, while others are nation-wide. Many communities around the world reaffirm their commitment to suicide prevention on World Suicide Prevention Day. \nBackground\nNearly 3000 people on average commit suicide daily\, according to WHO. For every person who completes a suicide\, 20 or more may attempt to end their lives. About one million people die by suicide each year. Suicide is a major preventable cause of premature death which is influenced by psycho-social\, cultural and environmental risk factors that can be prevented through worldwide responses that address these main risk factors. There is strong evidence indicating that adequate prevention can reduce suicide rates. \nWorld Suicide Prevention Day\, which first started in 2003\, is annually held on September 10 each year as an IASP initiative. WHO co-sponsors this event. World Suicide Prevention Day aims to: \n\nRaise awareness that suicide is preventable.\nImprove education about suicide.\nSpread information about suicide awareness.\nDecrease stigmatization regarding suicide.\n\nWHO and IASP work with governments and other partners to ensure that suicide is no longer stigmatized\, criminalized or penalized. WHO’s role is to build political action and leadership to develop national responses to prevent suicide\, strengthen national planning capacity to establish the core building blocks of such a national response\, and build the national capacities to implement these responses.

In 2015 the UN adopted its Sustainable Development goals to mobilise efforts to eradicate poverty and inequalities across the world\, of which improving literacy rates is an integral element. \nIn conjunction with International Literacy day\, UNESCO also announces its International Literacy awards. A prestigious prize recognising excellence and innovation\, submissions will be on Literacy and skills development. With International Literacy Day the awards help in promoting awareness of the importance and relevance of literacy and adult learning.

SUMMARY:International Day of Charity 2021
DESCRIPTION:As part of the United Nations 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development\, adopted in September 2015\, the UN has recognized the importance of eradicating poverty in all forms. Poverty presents an enormous global challenge for the international community\, as is a significant threat to sustainable development. In the spirit of global solidarity\, the 2030 Agenda is focused on how best to meet the needs of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable citizens and acknowledges the role that the private sector must play in supporting the various organizations who have undertaken philanthropic efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda. \nPoverty exists in every country around the globe\, from powerful industrial nations to developing countries. It continues to affect millions of people\, regardless of their social and cultural situations\, and is a barrier to true prosperity and equality. \nIn recognition of the significant role that charities and individuals have undertaken to alleviate human suffering and humanitarian crises\, the UN General Assembly\, under resolution A/RES/67/105PDF\, has designated the 5th of September as the International Day of Charity. This date was chosen as it is the anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa\, and the resolution is\, in part\, a tribute to her work and dedication to charitable causes. \nThis 5th of September\, the United Nations invites all Member States\, international and regional organisations\, non-governmental organisations and individuals alike to commemorate the International Day of Charity by encouraging charitable acts in their respective communities to raise public awareness of this event.

SUMMARY:International Vulture Awareness Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:The first Saturday in September each year is International Vulture Awareness Day. \nVultures are an ecologically vital group of birds that face a range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction. \nThe International Vulture Awareness Day has grown from Vulture Awareness Days run by the Birds of Prey Programme of the Endangered Wildlife Trust in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England\, who decided to work together and expand the initiative into an international event. \nIt is now recognised that a co-ordinated international day will publicise the conservation of vultures to a wider audience and highlight the important work being carried out by the world’s vulture conservationists. \nOn the first Saturday in September\, the aim is for each participating organisation to carry out their own activities that highlight vulture conservation and awareness. This website provides a central place for all participants to outline these activities and see the extent of vulture conservation across the world. Additionally\, it is a valuable resource for vulture workers to learn about the activities of their colleagues and to perhaps develop new collaborations or exchange information.

SUMMARY:Gynecological Cancer Awareness Month 2021
DESCRIPTION:September is Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month and is used as an opportunity to encourage women to become more aware about cancers of the cervix\, vagina\, vulva\, ovaries\, and uterus including early detection and prevention. \nEstablished in 1999 by the Foundation For Women’s Cancer\, this awareness raising campaign seeks to highlight risk factors\, symptoms\, early detection and prevention strategies. \nGynaecological cancers are those that develop in a woman’s reproductive tract. These include: \nCervical cancer\nOvarian cancer\nUterine cancer\nVaginal cancer\nVulvar cancer \nAffecting approximately 98000 women a year in the United States it is vital that we take to educate ourselves and other women around us about the disease. Vaccines & screening for some cancers are available\, but amazingly not everyone takes up the opportunity to have the vaccination or be screened. The importance of either of these should not be underestimated and we must encourage all we know to take them up if available to them \nSignificant amounts of information are available online about this awareness month and we encourage you to get informed and share your knowledge. With promotional badges\, wrist bands\, posters\, downloads\, fact sheets and collection boxes available from the many organisations supporting this campaign it is easy to raise awareness and most importantly funds for more vital research. \n#GynaecologicalCancerAwarenessMonth.\n#takeactionnotchances \n  \n

SUMMARY:Childhood Cancer Awareness Month 2021
DESCRIPTION:September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month\, and is symbolised by a gold ribbon\, worn to commemorate the event. 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. \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.

SUMMARY:World Alzheimer's Month 2021
DESCRIPTION:World Alzheimer’s Month is an annual international event\, always held in September and run by Alzheimer’s Disease International\, (ADI). \nThe aim of the month is to raise awareness and challenge stigma surrounding Alzheimer’s and dementia. 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.

SUMMARY:Organic September 2021
DESCRIPTION:Organic September is a month-long campaign which aims to raise awareness of Organic products\, and the brands\, producers and farmers who bring them to us in the UK. \nFoods labelled as organic must meet strict regulations on how they have been grown and produced. All organic food companies and farms are inspected yearly to ensure that they meet the high standards required for organic food under European law. \n\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.\n\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.

SUMMARY:National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:As humans \, we tend to take our health pretty seriously. But when was the last time you took your cat for a general check up? If the answer is ‘you can’t remember’ then use today as a gentle reminder to get your feline friend booked in for a health check. National Take Your Cat To The Vet Day on August 22nd is the day used to remind cat owners to pay a visit to the Vets. \nAmerican Veterinary Medical Association have over the years established numerous pet health awareness events\, that encourage pet owners to visit the vet. While you may think that your pet cat is at pretty low risk of picking up illnesses\, they can often become infected with dangerous diseases from stray cats\, found roaming the streets. \nWhile keeping your pussy inside is likely to protect your him or her from danger\, you can bring a virus or helminth eggs on your shoes. There are also many common illnesses that cats can develop and that can go unnoticed for a period of time. We know how well loved and cared for your pets are\, but nevertheless\, don’t waste time and take your cat to the vet to find out\, if your pet is in a good health condition. And then give them a special treat for the upheaval! \n

SUMMARY:International Youth Day 2021
DESCRIPTION:Just when you thought that Universal Children’s Day would be enough for the UN\, think again: it also runs International Youth Day\, which focuses on tweens and teens and their place in society.

SUMMARY:National Allotments Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:Many of you will have attended events in your local area as part of previous National Allotment Week’s to celebrate how important allotments and other open spaces are for you and your local community. 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
