SUMMARY:Bowel Cancer Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:Every 15 minutes somebody is diagnosed with bowel cancer in the UK\, that’s nearly 43\,000 people each year. \nBowel Cancer Awareness Month is a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness and help to drive positive change through education\, encouraging conversations\, asking questions\, sharing and so much more. They say knowledge is power\, so this April we’re asking everyone to share important information about bowel cancer. Will you help #PassItOn? \nSymptoms Associated with #BowelCancer: \n#AbdominalPain \nAbdominal mass (lump) \nAnaemia \nBowel mass (lump) \nChange in bowel habit \n#RectalBleeding \nWeight loss \nNational Clinical Director for Cancer\, Professor Peter Johnson\, said: “As with all cancers\, acting at the first sign of symptoms can make a big difference to how bowel cancer can be treated and how successfully. You are much more likely to survive a cancer that is diagnosed early\, which is why the NHS and charities like Bowel Cancer UK have run awareness campaigns about the signs to look for.” \n“Referrals for bowel cancer tests have been at record levels for the last 18 months\, and we would encourage people to speak to a GP about any concerning symptoms: knowing what is normal for you and acting when something isn’t right can make all the difference.” \n  \nSource* \nhttps://www.bowelcanceruk.org.uk/support-us/bowel-cancer-awareness-month/

SUMMARY:Stress Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:Stress 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. \nThis year\, 2026\, the theme is #BeTheChange\, inspired by Gandhi’s idea to “be the change you wish to see in the world.”\n#StressAwarenessMonth #Anxiety #Depression #Insomnia #LeadWithLove #MentalHealthMatters #ConnectedCommunities \nSource*  Stress Awareness Month 2026 – The Stress Management Society \n

SUMMARY:National Endometriosis Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:National Endometriosis Awareness Month  is observed from 1st March each year.\n\nIt helps to raise awareness about this condition that can be hidden and often unrecognised.\n\n#Endometriosis is a disease that affects women when tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows on the outer part of the uterus instead of inside it. Symptoms include pain\, like dysmenorrhoea\, dyspareunia\, and chronic pelvic or abdominal pain. Endometriosis is known to lead to infertility. The prevalence rate ranges from 25% to 40% for women with subfertility.\n\nNational Endometriosis Awareness Month helps to spread information about endometriosis as a debilitating\, and disabling disease. It recognises the consequences of living with endometriosis for the patient\, care provider\, and all those affected by the disease. This March\, Endometriosis UK are hosting events for political representatives across all 4 nations to raise awareness of endometriosis with those in power. Take action by asking your elected representatives to attend events in March using our easy-to-use form.\n\n\n\n#WomensHealth #Endo #EndoWarrior #Infertility #MenstrualHealth\n\n\nEnding endometriosis starts by saying it | Endometriosis UK (endometriosis-uk.org)

SUMMARY:LGBT+ History Month
DESCRIPTION:LGBT+ History Month is a month that’s important to us. Celebrating all parts of who we are is vital to the fight for mental health. And this month\, we’re doing just that. \nIt’s a month when we can all remember the people who fought for LGBTQIA+ rights in the past. A chance for people of all ages to learn more about the rich history of LGBTQIA+ communities. And a moment to remember just how far we’ve come over the years. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLGBTQIA+ mental health\nLGBT+ History Month is also a moment to lift up people’s stories about their mental health. \nBeing LGBTQIA+ does not cause mental health problems. But some things you may go through as an LGBTQIA+ person can make you more likely to experience a mental health problem. \nSome things you may go through if you’re LGBTQIA+ include: \n\nHomophobia\, biphobia and transphobia\nExperiences of stigma and discrimination\nDifficult experiences of coming out\nSocial isolation\, exclusion and rejection\n‘Conversion therapy’\nDifficulties getting the healthcare you need for reasons such as discrimination\, or long waiting lists for gender treatment if you’re trans\n\nIn fact\, because of these issues LGBTQIA+ people are 2 to 3 times more likely to experience a mental health problem. \nAnd many young people experience a lack of inclusive environments – from home to school and beyond. Nearly a quarter of young people who are at risk of homelessness identify as LGBTQIA+. \nThe impact that discrimination and isolation has on the mental health of LGBTQIA+ people is clear\, and avoidable. That’s why we all need to do more to make sure things change – for the better. \nPlease remember you’re not alone. \nIf you’re LGBTQIA+ and are finding things tough\, we have information and tips for you. And a list of places where you can get support below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSource:  Celebrating LGBT+ History Month | Campaigns | Mind \n

SUMMARY:Raynaud's Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:Raynaud’s Awareness Month is observed in February in the United Kingdom to drive awareness about the condition\, increase advocacy for people suffering from it\, and promote the need for a cure. Up to 10 million people in the UK have a form of Raynaud’s and yet research shows that nearly half of UK adults don’t know any of the signs of Raynaud’s Disease. That’s why it’s so important that we continue to raise awareness.\n\n\n \n\n\nRaynaud’s disease (Ray-nodes) means that the small blood vessels in the extremities such as the hands\, feet\, fingers or toes are over-sensitive to even the slightest changes in temperature\, cold conditions and sometimes emotional stress.\n\n\n \n\n\nWhen our bodies are exposed to the cold\, a normal response is for the blood vessels to become narrower. When someone has Raynaud’s this reaction may be much more extreme. It will sometimes cause a noticeable colour change to the affected areas\, with the skin turning white\, then blue and finally to red as the circulation returns. This is known as a Raynaud’s attack.\n\n\n \n\n\nToo many people just live with Raynaud’s without knowing what it is and how they can manage the symptoms better.  For roughly 300\,000 of them it’s a sign of an underlying condition.   By sharing your stories of what it is like to live with Raynaud’s we are encouraging others to take action. \n\n#KnowRaynauds #Raynauds #ColdWeather\n\nSource:  Raynaud’s | SRUK

SUMMARY:Love Your Liver Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:January is Love Your Liver Month ! \nThe liver is an amazing multi-tasker and has over 500 vital jobs to do to keep you alive. It’s just as important as other organs like your heart and lungs\, but they tend to steal most of the limelight. \nSadly\, people with liver disease often don’t have any symptoms until the disease has progressed and it’s far too late for treatment. That’s why it’s so important to know the risk factors and to keep your liver happy and healthy for life. \n\n\n\n\nThis January\, let’s show our livers some love by doing something healthy. \n\n\n\n\n  \nSource: https://britishlivertrust.org.uk/love-your-liver-month/

SUMMARY:Dry January
DESCRIPTION:Alcohol use has been part of different cultures and societies for thousands of years. While many people find that alcohol is an enjoyable part of their lives\, it can have a tendency to create some difficulties and even throw their health out of balance. Some of the things people want to avoid may include the calories from alcohol that can create weight gain\, as well as the cost involved with drinking alcohol. Taking the month of January to reset and rebuild new\, healthy habits is what #DryJanuary is all about.  \nWhile the term first made an appearance in the early 2000s\, the official day didn’t happen until about a decade later. It all started in 2011 when Emily Robinson signed up to run a half marathon in February and realized she needed to get her body ready during the month of January. Because her training regimen included giving up alcohol\, she found that she was sleeping better\, losing weight and had more energy.  \nSo the following year\, Emily joined Alcohol Change UK and decided to give up drinking for the month of January again. The following year\, Alcohol Change UK launched its official celebration of Dry January and the practice has been catching on over the years since then. In 2014\, Dry January became a registered trademark by the Alcohol Change UK charity. As it turns out\, many people have been finding that Dry January offers a variety of benefits to their lives.  \nWhen a group of people who had participated in Dry January were surveyed\, it was discovered that the celebration of the day had helped them to establish healthier habits around drinking. \n Each year\, many of the people who participate in Dry January have considered it to be a positive experience\, saying that they have lost weight and are drinking less even six months later. Many of them have dropped from ‘harmful’ categories of drinking to ‘low risk’. In a few countries\, like in Czech Republic or Canada\, the non-drinking month is actually celebrated as Dry February.  \nBut no matter when it is\, the concept is the same – bringing balance and health to thousands of people by helping them reset their drinking habits. * \n#AlcoholFree #Sobriety #SoberLife #RecoveryIsPossible #DryJanuary \n  \n*Source: https://alcoholchange.org.uk/get-involved/campaigns/dry-january

SUMMARY:Movember
DESCRIPTION:As always\, this month is Movember ! \nOn average\, men die 5 years earlier than women\, and this needs to change. \nOne of the reasons for this may be men’s tendency to turn a blind eye to unusual symptoms to avoid a visit to the doctor. Don’t let complacency stop you from enjoying an otherwise long and healthy life. \nHave you noticed something out of the ordinary with your body? Don’t leave it too late\, book a doctor’s appointment today. \nSource: Healthline \n#Movember #MensHealth \nFind out more about Movember:  Movember | Changing the face of men’s health – Movember

SUMMARY:Black History Month
DESCRIPTION:The ethos of Black History Month is to educate people on the achievements and contributions African and Caribbean heritage peoples have made to the UK’s history and culture. \n​Black History Month UK was the brainchild of Akyaaba Addai-Sebo\, a special projects officer at the Greater London Council. He wanted to boost the self-esteem of Black British children and young adults by educating on them on the achievements of Black people living in the UK. \nThe month has since evolved into a celebration of black history and culture that spans across multiple countries! \nThe theme for the month is ‘Legacies with Action: Understanding 60 Years of Change and Challenge.’  2025 marks 60 years since the UK’s first Race Relations Act — a landmark moment in the ongoing journey towards racial justice and equality. \n​ \n#BHM2025 #BlackHistoryMonth \nSource: IBHM-UK|Black History Month UK 2025 Theme – Legacies of Action

SUMMARY:Blood Cancer Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:September 2025 Is Blood Cancer Awareness Month\nWhat do #Leukaemia\, #Lymphoma\, and #Myeloma have in common? They’re all blood cancers. According to the Leukaemia & Lymphoma Society\, more than 1.5 million people today are living with or in remission from blood cancer. \nBlood cancers are a complex group of diseases. Advances in treatment are helping more people live longer after diagnosis. But more than a third of people with blood cancer live fewer than 5 years after diagnosis. \nBut what are the symptoms? Can a test reveal whether you have blood cancer before you even have symptoms? Who’s at risk and what should you discuss with a doctor? \n#BloodCancerAwarenessMonth exists so that more people will learn the answers to these questions. You can help by sharing facts and information online and in your community\, as well as supporting people who are living with blood cancer. \nSource: September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month: Leukemia\, Lymphoma\, Myeloma (healthline.com)

SUMMARY:Love Your Liver Month
DESCRIPTION:The liver is an amazing multi-tasker and has over 500 vital jobs to do to keep you alive. It’s just as important as other organs like your heart and lungs\, but they tend to steal most of the limelight. \nSadly\, people with liver disease often don’t have any symptoms until the disease has progressed and it’s far too late for treatment. That’s why it’s so important to know the risk factors and to keep your liver happy and healthy for life. \n  \nSource: https://britishlivertrust.org.uk/love-your-liver-month/

SUMMARY:Black History
DESCRIPTION:October is Black History Month. \n\nBlack History Month UK was the brainchild of Akyaaba Addai-Sebo\, a special projects officer at the Greater London Council. He wanted to boost the self-esteem of Black British children and young adults by educating on them on the achievements of Black people living in the UK. \nTaking inspiration from Black History Month (also known as African-American History Month) in the United States. The first official event took place on 1st October 1987 at County Hall. The keynote speaker was ILEA (Inner London Education Authority) deputy leader Bernard Wiltshire and presentations were made by American historian Dr Maulana Karenga and Kenyan women’s activist Wanjiru Kihoro. \nIt has since evolved into a national movement that is observed throughout the UK. International Black History Month is also recognised in Ireland and Netherlands in October and Canada in February.* \n\n*Source: https://www.ibhm-uk.org/ \n#BlackHistoryMonth
