SUMMARY:National Allotment Week
DESCRIPTION:This year\, National Allotment Week will run from 10th-16th August with the theme of “Grow to Learn.” \nIt’s a great chance to explore how allotments support healthier lifestyles and stronger communities. Whether you’re an experienced grower or just getting started\, events are taking place across the UK. \nGardening can help people cope with stress and mental health issues. One of the best ways to have a calmer\, more optimistic mindset is to immerse yourself in nature and nurture plants. \nJoin in the week-long celebration by signing up for a local gardening class. Invite your neighbours and friends to a seed and plant swap. It’s also a great way for you to get some exercise and connect with your friends and neighbours. \nSource: national_allotments_week (thenas.org.uk)

SUMMARY:National Eczema Week
DESCRIPTION:National Eczema Week is from 12th-19th September this year. \nThe More than “Just an Itch” campaign will highlight the debilitating nature of #Eczema and its profound effect on people’s lives\, shining a light on the mental health impacts of eczema that are so often overlooked. \nA recently conducted online patient survey to better understand how eczema affects people’s emotional\, social and personal well-being\, shockingly showed 91% of respondents said their eczema made them feel self-conscious or embarrassed\, and 83% were envious of those who do not have eczema. Around 4 in 5 respondents thought that eczema reduces patients’ quality of life. \nLiving with eczema can be physically uncomfortable\, but it also takes an emotional toll. The persistent itching\, pain\, and visible appearance of eczema patches can lead to feelings of self-consciousness\, low self-esteem\, and social anxiety. People with eczema may experience frustration\, embarrassment\, along with greater anxiety and depression due to the constant struggle with their skin condition – it really is #MoreThanJustAnItch. \nThrough sharing stories of eczema patients’ experiences\, resilience\, and coping mechanisms\, we can help reduce the stigma associated with the condition and foster an environment of empathy and understanding. We also want to encourage and empower people to open up and share how they really feel about living with this long-term condition. \nSource:  National Eczema Society

SUMMARY:Organ Donation Week

DESCRIPTION:For this year’s Migraine Awareness Week  The Migraine Trust are asking you to join them in their campaign for #BetterMigraineCare. Help them to raise awareness for the one in seven adults and one in ten children in the UK living with migraine. \n#Migraine has been dismissed for too long as “just a headache”\, despite it being a complex and debilitating neurological disorder. We know that for those living with migraine it has a significant impact on their quality of life\, impacting their mental health\, relationships\, education and their ability to work. \nJoin the #BetterMigraineCare conversation on social media and share your experience of living with migraine for #MAW26 \n#MigraineAwarenessWeek #MoreThanJustAHeadache \nSource:  Migraine Awareness Week – The Migraine Trust

SUMMARY:Dyslexia Awareness Week
DESCRIPTION:Dyslexia is a neurological difference and can have a significant impact during education\, in the workplace and in everyday life. As each person is unique\, so is everyone’s experience of dyslexia. It can range from mild to severe\, and it can co-occur with other specific learning difficulties. It usually runs in families and is a life-long condition. \nIt is important to remember that there are positives to thinking differently. Many dyslexic people show strengths in areas such as reasoning and in visual and creative fields. \nThe theme for the week will be Dyslexia in real life: At work  \nThis year\, Dyslexia Awareness Week will focus on dyslexic adults and their experiences of work and the workplace. \nOur theme\, Dyslexia in real life: At work\, will look at how recruitment\, communication\, workplace systems\, management and access to adjustments can affect dyslexic employees. \nDyslexia is often associated with school\, reading and spelling\, but it is lifelong and can affect many parts of working life. This may include completing applications\, processing information\, managing workloads\, using workplace systems and progressing in a career. \nDyslexic employees bring valuable skills\, experience and different ways of thinking. But when workplaces are not designed with different needs in mind\, unnecessary barriers can make it harder for people to show what they can do. \nOur aim is to build understanding\, challenge barriers and encourage workplaces where dyslexic people can contribute\, develop and thrive. \nIn the spirit of breaking through the barriers of #Dyslexia\, we’d like to share methods for supporting people with dyslexia. According to the NHS\, the following methods are how best to support a child with dyslexia: \n\noccasional 1-to-1 teaching or lessons in a small group with a specialist teacher\nphonics (a way of teaching children to identify and process the smaller sounds that make up words) combined with other techniques\ntechnology like computers and speech-recognition software that may make it easier for your child to read and write when they’re a bit older\n\nSource: NHS \nSource: Dyslexia Awareness Week – British Dyslexia Association (bdadyslexia.org.uk)
