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:Sewing Machine Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:A Day That Celebrates the Invention of the Sewing MachineHow many of you have heard of National Sewing Machine Day? We’d put money on there only being a few. Who is responsible for creating this unusual day? We really couldn’t find a culprit. What is its purpose? To celebrate the invention of the sewing machine of course. It is observed every year on June 13.\nWho Invented the Sewing Machine?\nThis is a much easier question to answer. It was English inventor Thomas Saint who applied for the first sewing machine patent\, in 1790. The design for Thomas’s sewing machine was never taken any further\, and there is no evidence that his machine for stitching leather and canvas was ever made. \nA working model of a sewing machine wasn’t made until 1874. A guy named William Newton Wilson found the drawings made by Saint in the Patent Office in London. He made some adjustments to the design and went on to build a working model. This model is now on display in the London Science Museum. \nSewing machines have been used in industrial settings for many years\, and it wasn’t all that long ago you would have found one in many people’s homes. They went out of fashion for several years\, with the influx of cheap manufactured clothes and furnishings. But are currently enjoying a bit of a revival. \nIf you want to celebrate National Sewing Machine Day\, the best way to do it is to get stitching and make something for yourself or your family.

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.

The goal is to create a welcoming space for people to come together\, share food\, and enjoy each other’s company.\nStreet Party: Collaborate with your neighbors to organize a street party or a neighborhood-wide celebration. Close off a section of your street (with appropriate permissions)\, set up tables and chairs\, and encourage everyone to bring food and beverages. Add some entertainment\, such as music\, games\, or activities\, to create a festive atmosphere.\nCommunity Garden Gathering: If your community has a shared garden or green space\, consider hosting a gathering in that space. Invite fellow gardeners and neighbors to come together\, share stories about their gardens\, and enjoy a meal amidst the beauty of nature.\nReach Out to Local Organizations: Connect with local organizations\, community centers\, or schools to see if they are planning any Big Lunch events. Offer your assistance or participate in their activities. Collaboration with existing community groups can amplify the impact of The Big Lunch and create a more inclusive and diverse event.\nPromote The Big Lunch: Spread the word about The Big Lunch in your community by putting up posters\, sharing information on social media\, or contacting local media outlets. Encourage your neighbors and friends to get involved and make The Big Lunch a memorable event in your area.\n\nThe History of The Big Lunch:\nThe Big Lunch was initiated by the Eden Project\, a UK-based educational charity\, in 2009. The aim was to bring people together\, promote community connections\, and combat social isolation. Since then\, The Big Lunch has grown into a national movement\, with millions of people participating each year. It has become a symbol of unity\, friendship\, and the power of shared meals instrengthening communities. \nOver the years\, The Big Lunch has witnessed countless heartwarming stories of neighbors becoming friends\, new connections being forged\, and communities coming together to support one another. It has become a much-anticipated event in neighborhoods across the country\, where people look forward to enjoying good food\, lively conversations\, and a sense of belonging. \nThe Big Lunch has also inspired various community-led initiatives\, such as ongoing neighborhood gatherings\, shared gardening projects\, and collaborative efforts to address local issues. It has shown that something as simple as sharing a meal can have a profound impact on community cohesion\, happiness\, and overall well-being. \nAs The Big Lunch 2024 approaches\, let us embrace the spirit of togetherness and take this opportunity to connect with our neighbors\, celebrate diversity\, and build stronger\, more resilient communities. By participating in The Big Lunch\, we contribute to a shared experience that goes beyond a single day – it fosters a sense of unity that can have a lasting positive impact on our communities. \nSo\, mark your calendars for The Big Lunch 2024 and start planning how you can bring your community together. Whether it’s organizing a community meal\, hosting a street party\, or collaborating with local organizations\, your efforts will contribute to the vibrant tapestry of community life and create memories that will be cherished for years to come. \nRemember\, The Big Lunch is not just about the food we share\, but also about the connections we make and the friendships we nurture. It’s about creating a space where everyone feels welcome\, included\, and valued. So\, let’s come together\, break bread\, and celebrate the power of community during The Big Lunch 2024. \nIn the words of The Big Lunch motto\, “Start something small\, create something big!”

SUMMARY:Oak Apple Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:As perhaps the most British day in the calendar\, Oak Apple Day has absolutely nothing to do with celebrating apples themselves and everything to do with the restoration of the monarchy\, following the rule of Oliver Cromwell and his anti-royal cohorts. Cromwell was a man so miserable that he banned Christmas\, and it was for this (but probably more the execution of Charles I) that he was dug up two years after he died and posthumously executed. What a time to be alive. \nOther names for Oak Apple Day include Restoration Day\, Royal Oak Day\, Shick Shack Day\, Packie Bonner Day\, Oak and Nettle Day\, and Yak Bob Day. Apart from Packie Bonner Day we made that one up using the name of the former Celtic and Ireland goalkeeper. But you’d believe it if we left it in\, wouldn’t you?

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.

For many\, little is known about the different types of skin cancer and the ways it can be treated. \nMelanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer and the fifth most common cancer in the UK\, with over 40 cases diagnosed every day. If detected early melanoma is almost always treatable. \nMelanoma is a complex disease and multiple gene alterations have been found to play a role in its progression. \nThe three most common gene mutations in melanoma are BRAF\, NRAS and c-KIT. Of these\, the BRAF mutation is most common: around 40-50% of melanoma patients have it. \nThere are treatments available that specifically target this type of mutation and a test to determine your BRAF status will be carried out when you are diagnosed. You should be told the result to help decide the best form of treatment. \nHow can I get involved in Melanoma BRAF Awareness Day?\nJoin the conversation on social media by following Melanoma UK and using the campaign hashtags #MelanomaBRAFAwarenessDay \nGet to know your BRAF status – check out our ‘Get under the skin of it’ \nAsk your medical team more questions – download our patient guide and checklist. You can also find out more using this handy resource. \nFor more information: \nContact Diane Cannon\, Melanoma UK: Diane.Cannon@melanomauk.org.uk \nFurther information on melanoma and BRAF click here

SUMMARY:National Conversation Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:What is National Conversation Week?\nNational Conversation Week is all about the simple\, pleasurable\, and rewarding art of simply talking to each other. \nWe’re very much a society that’s “always on” and\, unfortunately\, the art of human conversation is becoming lost in a sea of emojis\, swiping right (ask your single friends)\, chatbots\, and dwindling attention spans. \nWhether it’s keeping in touch with friends\, updating a colleague at work\, or trying to find the best insurance deal\, most of us are guilty of hiding behind a screen to send a quick text\, fire off an email\, post a social media message or search online rather than taking the take the time to speak with somebody. \nThat’s why we’re encouraging everyone in the UK to spend the week trying a little bit harder to engage with those around them be they a friend\, family member\, colleague\, or customer. We’re not asking you to throw away your phone and we’re not trying to send the UK back to the 90s (although arguably the music was better!). We simply want everyone to talk more. \nNational Conversation Week 2024 is focused on the inquisitive side of conversation\, the one that helps us gain an understanding of the world around us – asking questions. \nAsking questions is incredibly important\, as inquisitive conversations develop deeper knowledge and boost confidence\, as well expanding the human connection. However\, whether it’s concerns over wasting someone’s time\, admitting they don’t understand something or a general lack of self-assurance – for some people\, asking questions is a total no-go. \n\nWhen is National Conversation Week 2024?\nThis year’s National Conversation Week will be taking place from the 23rd – 29th May. \n\nHow to get involved in National Conversation Week.\nThroughout National Conversation Week and beyond\, we’re encouraging people to ask more questions – and most importantly\, combat the widespread fear around asking what they deem to be ‘stupid questions’. \nAsking questions is a uniquely powerful tool for unlocking value: it spurs learning and the exchange of ideas\, fuels innovation builds rapport and trust. \nSo\, next time there’s a question on the tip of your tongue\, go ahead and ask it. After all\, if you don’t ask\, you’ll never know. \nTo find out more about how you can get involved with National Conversation Week 2024\, visit www.nationalconversationweek.com

SUMMARY:Idling Awareness Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:What is Idling Awareness Day?\nIdling Awareness Day is a day created by vehicle technology specialist\, HH Driveright  to communicate the negative impacts associated with leaving a vehicle engine idling\, whether that is in standing traffic\, on a driveway\, or whilst stationary on the road for any other reason. \nHH Driveright hope that Idling Awareness Day will raise awareness of the totally unnecessary CO2 emissions generated and pushed out into the environment\, because of drivers leaving their engines idling when there is no need to do so. \nThe message behind Idling Awareness Day is that drivers taking the simple action of turning their engines off\, until ready to move again\, would help air quality\, particularly at key times\, such as when children are walking to or from school. \nThey also aim to show fleet and private drivers how the bad habit of idling is costing them far too much\, in terms of wasted fuel expenditure and how valuable savings could be made\, if drivers recognised that fact. \nHH Driveright hopes to plant the seed in drivers heads that ‘keeping on running’ is not the right thing to do. \nWhen is Idling Awareness Day?\nIdling Awareness Day 2024 will take place on the 17th May. \nHow to get involved in Idling Awareness Day 2024  \nMake a change.\nDrivers who regularly engage in engine idling are being asked to adopt a new habit and make a conscious effort to switch off their engines whilst stationary\, at those times when leaving the engine running is totally unnecessary. Making this small change in driving behaviour will contribute to a cleaner environment and better health and also help save money on fuel. \nFleet managers wanting to take steps to cut their CO2 emissions\, can also enquire about HH Driveright’s GM2020 technology\, which identifies when drivers are idling and also calculates CO2 emissions generated by their fleet.

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: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.

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 Limerick Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Everybody needs a bit of silliness in their lives from time to time and National Limerick Day provides the perfect annual opportunity. Celebrated each year on the 12th May the familiar five line verse is renowned for its humorous\, sometimes bawdy themes. Instantly recognisable from the rhythm of the verse they are cleverly constructed to put a smile on the face.\nNational Limerick Day is set on 12th May to mark the birthday of Edward Lear\, the English writer known for his works of nonsensical prose and poetry. It was Edward Lear who was to popularise the Limerick in his A Book of Nonsense\, published 1846. His limericks were popular then and this form of nonsense literature has managed to retain its appeal to this day. \nLimericks will normally have the first\, second and final lines ending with the same rhyme\, while the third and fourth shorter lines have their own rhyme as illustrated below: \nThere was an Old Man with a beard\,\nWho said\, ‘It is just as I feared!\nTwo Owls and a Hen\,\nFour Larks and a Wren\,\nHave all built their nests in my beard!’ \nThis style of verse can act as a great introduction to the idea of poetry for children and National Limerick Day helps to maintain awareness of this brand of poem. Although limericks were not invented by Edward Lear\, holding National Limerick Day on his birthday is a suitable nod to the man who brought them to the larger public’s attention.

SUMMARY:World Topiary Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:World Topiary Day is a new event for 2021\, created by the owners of the world’s oldest topiary garden\, which is to be found at Levens Hall and Gardens in Cumbria and which dates from 1694. \nWorld Topiary Day celebrates the fantastic art of topiary (shaping and cutting particular types of tree into geometric shapes and forms that resemble common objects and people) and its heritage within the world of gardening. It seeks to extend the celebration to both public and privately-owned topiary\, whilst inspiring keen gardeners and lovers of al fresco living to adopt topiary’s style and structure within their own private gardens. \nWorld Topiary Day also fittingly focuses on the tranquillity and mindfulness that a topiary garden can provide\, through structure and form\, shapes and creativity\, in a world packed with stresses and uncertainties. \nTaking place on May 12 – the day on which Levens Hall and Garden’s ancient Radish Feast used to be staged – World Topiary Day channels the remarkable heritage home and gardens’ past\, to bring relevance to the present.

SUMMARY:Firefighters' Memorial Day 2024
DESCRIPTION:Last May saw the UK mark its first ever Firefighters’ Memorial Day to commemorate the bravery and sacrifice of those who lost their lives in the line of duty. Thousands of firefighters\, bereaved families\, supporters and well-wishers observed one minute’s silence at midday at fire stations. There was an outpouring of support on social media\, with many users changing their profile picture to the FBU memorial badge and sharing pictures of memorial events.This year the Firefighters Memorial Trust\, supported by the FBU\, is hoping for even more activity to commemorate the 2\,524 members of the fire and rescue service who have died while protecting the public. \nThe day means a lot to the loved ones of fallen firefighters. Dave Faust’s son\, Billy\, lost his life alongside colleague Adam Meere tackling a fire in Bethnal Green\, East London in 2004. He says the day brings much comfort to his family. It means an awful lot to us to know the union and fire brigades are remembering the people they have lost\, he says. It is a really\, really great thing not only for families but for the firefighters themselves and the service. \nLet’s make this year’s Firefighters’ Memorial Day one to remember. Here are some ideas on how to mark the day. \nGet your MP to sign EDM 1115\nWrite to your MP asking them to sign EDM 1115 – Firefighters’ Memorial Day\, 4 May 2018. It calls for all Parliamentarians to attend their nearest fire station and take part in the minute’s silence at midday. Find all the resources you need to do this here. \nShout out on social media\nA video promoting this year’s memorial day has been put together and members are asked to share it with family and friends through social media. \nWear your Memorial Lapel Badge\nTo mark this year’s Memorial Day\, every member has received a newly designed FBU memorial lapel. These are for members to wear in respectful remembrance of fallen comrades. The badge was sent out with the most recent edition of Firefighter magazine. \nThe firefighters’ story: \n100 years of the Fire Brigades Union tells the story of the FBU from its inception in 1918 up to the present day and illustrates how the union and firefighting have changed over 10 decades. The film has already been shown at events in London\, Bristol and Glasgow and the union is urging members to organise further screenings across the country. Register your interest in organising a showing of the film here. \nGet people involved\nThis year\, a number of fire services will organise open days at stations with a one-minute silence as the centrepiece. An important aspect of the day is to enable local communities to honour their firefighters. Getting members of the public\, as well as retired and off-duty firefighters\, along to local fire stations for the midday silence is a wonderful way to mark the day.

SUMMARY:National Stop Snoring Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:Snoring noise and sleep disturbance – is it a threat to our health?\nThe sound of snoring is irritating and annoying and can lead to sleep deprivation for the bed partner. But the noise of snoring can also cause a number of health problems. \nWe all know how it feels if we have not had a good night’s sleep – we feel tired and sleepy all day\, bad tempered\, lacking concentration\, and generally irritable. Bed partners who are disturbed every night by snoring they experience these symptoms every day. \nThe noise level that starts to have an effect on sleep is around 40dB. The noise of snoring can range from about 50dB to 100+dB\, and research has consistently found that when exposed to noise at these levels\, it can have a negative effect on all areas of our wellbeing. \nNoise at night has become a major problem\, and many people consider that a good night’s sleep is a basic human entitlement essential for maintaining good health. Indeed\, sleep is so important that the World Health Organisation (WHO) document several categories of adverse health and social effects from noise. \nSleep disturbance\, hearing impairment\, daytime functioning\, mental health problems\, cognitive issues and negative social behaviour can be symptoms of being subjected to loud noise over a period of time. Sleep deprivation can also have a negative impact on body systems such as hormonal release\, glucose regulation and cardiovascular function\, leading to overall poor health. \nEvidence has shown that the louder the noise\, the worse the sleep. The quality of the noise is also an issue. Some noises can be subjectively annoying whilst others of the same level are not. It is well know that the noise of snoring is one that cannot be tolerated for long without disrupted sleep. \nSome bed partners who sleep with their snorer every night try to sleep through the noise and ignore it. However\, it has been shown that although you may sleep through the night\, the quality of sleep will be much reduced and you will not feel as refreshed in the morning as you should. Noise tends to reduce our deep refreshing sleep to more shallow sleep\, and will also reduce dreaming sleep. It is well documented that bed partners of snorers have been found to be at risk of hearing loss due to continuous noise exposure. \nOther partners find themselves re-locating to the spare room in the middle of the night in order to get a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. Many of them have feelings of guilt in leaving the bedroom – but they have a right to a good night’s sleep. Nevertheless\, the stress of the situation can put a great strain on the health and relationship of both partners. \nSo how can these issues be resolved?\nThe snorer must acknowledge the problem and take steps to resolve it. Snoring will not go away – it will only get worse if not addressed. \nSelf-help remedies – see http://www.britishsnoring.co.uk for help & information. \nIf you cannot resolve the snoring by self-help remedies seek professional help to find the cause and appropriate treatment. Make an appointment to see one of our sleep specialists in our clinic. http://www.thereigatesleepclinic.co.uk

SUMMARY:National Feet Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:What is National Feet Week?\nNational Feet Week takes place every year and asks everyone to prioritise their foot health. \nIf you have a toothache\, you would visit the dentist\, if you had trouble with your vision then you would automatically call on an optician. What about your feet? \nMany people ignore common foot complaints or indeed serious pain rather than go to see an expert. Podiatrists are there to help with all manner of foot conditions and can usually help resolve minor issues quickly. Problems with the feet can be an indication of other health issues and so it’s so important to take care of our feet as we would our teeth and eyes. \nMake National Feet Week a time to have your feet checked or to get that niggling issue sorted and make your feet your priority – after all they take you anywhere you want to go. \nWhen is National Feet Week?\nNational Feet Week 2024 will take place from the 17th -23rd April.

SUMMARY:Parkinson's Awareness Week 2024
DESCRIPTION:Parkinson’s Awareness Week kicks starts on April 10th\, the day before World Parkinson’s Awareness Day\, (which falls on the 11th April 2024 each year) and runs until the 16th of April.\nAs 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. \nUp 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. Living with Anxiety or Depression with Parkinson’s will worsen symptoms such as tremor\, stiffness\, sleep problems and pain and much more. 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 2024 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:Bowel Cancer Awareness Month 2024
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: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 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 the 20 – 31st of  March in your diaries for Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel 2024. \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. \nSince 2021\, we have taken a more flexible approach to the competition to accommodate pupils learning remotely and the results were amazing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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:Spring Equinox (First Day of Spring) 2024
DESCRIPTION:This year in the northern hemisphere the Spring or Vernal Equinox falls on the 20th March. The equinox marks the day when day and night are the same lengths all over the world\, with the word equinox literally meaning equal night‚in Latin.\nThe spring equinox marks the change of the seasons and as the northern hemisphere begins to tilt towards the sun\, our days start to get longer and our nights shorter. In the northern hemisphere\, we enjoy the arrival of spring and the promise of warmer days. To our friends in the southern hemisphere\, however\, this marks the changing of their seasons to autumn. \nThe equinox does not always fall on the same day each year due to the fact that the earth orbits the sun on a slightly elliptical path\, meaning that the spring equinox can happen on either the 19th\, 20th or 21st of March. Although many cultures celebrate the whole day as the equinox\, the equinox is\, in fact\, technically the specific point in time when the sun crosses the equator. \nIn the northern hemisphere\, the March equinox is traditionally celebrated as a time of rebirth with many different cultures celebrating spring holidays and festivals such as Easter and Passover around the time of the equinox.

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.

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.
