Cervical Screening Awareness Week
2026-06-15 - 2026-06-21
Cervical Screening Awareness Week is a UK-wide health campaign that takes place every June to encourage eligible people to attend their routine cervical screening appointments. In 2026 it runs from Monday, 15 June to Sunday, 21 June, and is led by gynaecological cancer charities working alongside the NHS.
Cervical Screening Awareness Week is a national health campaign focused on the prevention and early detection of cervical cancer through regular screening. The campaign is supported by charities including Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust, The Eve Appeal, Macmillan Cancer Support, and Cancer Research UK, alongside NHS partners across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It encourages people aged 25 to 64 with a cervix to book and attend their cervical screening appointment, also known as a smear test, when invited. The week also provides accessible information for those who feel anxious, embarrassed, or uncertain about the test.
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, yet around two women in the UK still die from it every day. According to NHS England data, around 1 in 3 eligible people do not attend their cervical screening appointment, and uptake among younger people aged 25 to 29 has fallen below 70 per cent in recent years. Regular cervical screening can prevent up to 75 per cent of cervical cancers by detecting human papillomavirus, the cause of most cases, before any cancer develops. Cervical Screening Awareness Week addresses the practical and emotional barriers that stop people from booking appointments, including fear, past trauma, cultural concerns, and lack of accessible information for disabled people, trans men, and non-binary people.

Learning Disability Week
2026-06-15 - 2026-06-21
This week is Learning Disability Week! It is when we make sure the world hears what life is like if you have a learning disability.
The theme for this year’s Learning Disability Week is “Do you see me?”
People with a learning disability want to be seen, heard and valued.

That’s why we’re calling for a change to improve statistics like these:

Only 26.7% of adults with a learning disability are employed yet 86% of unemployed people with a learning disability want a paid job
1 in 3 people with a learning disability spend less than 1 hour outside their home on a typical Saturday
Over 2,00 people with a learning disability and/ or autistic people are currently locked away in mental health hospitals.

This year Mencap want to show the world the incredible things that people with a learning disability can achieve, smashing misconceptions about what people can do and shining a light on the stigma many still face every day.
They want to show that people are so much more than a learning disability – and this is the week for everyone in our community to make some noise about their amazing achievements, tremendous talents, and issues that matter most.

Men's Health Week
2026-06-15 - 2026-06-21
Men’s Health Week takes place annually during the week leading up to Father’s Day, focusing on raising awareness about the health challenges men face and encouraging them to prioritise their well-being.
The week highlights the importance of addressing physical and mental health issues among men. It aims to reduce stigma, promote regular health check-ups, and provide resources to support healthier lifestyles. With many men often reluctant to seek medical advice, this week creates a platform to spark conversations about health and well-being.
Each year, the campaign has a specific theme, tackling issues such as mental health, heart disease, prostate cancer, or obesity. By focusing on education and prevention, it empowers men to take proactive steps toward healthier living.
To bring the importance of Men’s Health Week to your social media, here are some content ideas:

Share statistics on men’s health issues, such as life expectancy, mental health, or chronic illnesses.
Post a list of symptoms men should never ignore and encourage routine check-ups.
Highlight the importance of mental health and provide tips for stress management.
Share inspiring stories of men who have improved their health through lifestyle changes.
Organise or promote local events such as health screenings or fitness challenges.
Share tips for adopting healthier habits, such as better nutrition or increased physical activity.

Loneliness Awareness Week
2026-06-15 - 2026-06-21
This week is #LonelinessAwarenessWeek, where the aim is to shine a spotlight on the importance of talking openly about #Loneliness.
By talking about it, we can reduce the stigma surrounding this natural human emotion, and by hosting a connection activity we can create a sense of belonging and reduce loneliness in our communities.

Connection matters.It’s what makes us human.

Whether it’s your regular barista, the friendly dog on your walk, or the shopkeeper down the road, everyday moments of connection matter. They allow us to make connections, feel happier and less lonely.
Meeting Loneliness Together, this year’s theme, is all about reducing the stigma around this natural human emotion.

The campaign has reached millions across the world through conversations on social media and partnerships. #LonelinessAwarenessWeek has trended and hundreds of organisations, charities and individuals get involved including the Royal Family, the Prime Minister and the NHS!
