SUMMARY:National Bereaved Parents Day
DESCRIPTION:National Bereaved Parents Day was set up in 2020 as there wasn’t a specific day that honoured bereaved parents from all walks of life. We wanted to bring together anyone affected by the loss of a child to show them that they are not alone. \n#NationalBereavedParentsDay will take place on 3rd July to raise awareness for all parents who have lost a child of any age\, and from any circumstance. \nPlease join us to help spread the message\, keep that conversation going\, raise awareness and show the bereaved parent community that they are NOT alone. \nThis year’s theme is This is my place. This is my place is finding a sense of belonging and community within grief and highlighting that no matter where you are in your journey\, there is a place for your child’s memory. \n#Bereavement #BereavedParents #LightACandle #LoveLivesOn \nSource:  National Bereaved Parents Awareness Day – A Child of Mine

SUMMARY:Alcohol Awareness Week
DESCRIPTION:Alcohol Awareness Week is 6th- 12th July 2026. \nIt is a chance for the UK to get thinking about drinking. It’s a week of awareness-raising\, campaigning for change\, and more. The theme for Alcohol Awareness Week 2026 is  ‘Alcohol and me’. \nIn a world where big alcohol companies glamorise alcohol as central to everyday experiences – from birthdays and barbecues to sofa nights and cheering on our team – it’s understandable that alcohol often feels like an inevitable part of so many of our lives. So this Alcohol Awareness Week we’re inviting a different conversation and asking: how might alcohol truly be impacting our lives and what can we do about it? \nWhether it’s sleepless nights\, low energy\, increased anxiety or a lingering sense of feeling not quite right\, alcohol can affect us in ways we don’t always realise\, having a knock on effect on our health and wellbeing\, our relationships\, our productivity\, and those we love. It can also put us at real risk of developing many other long-term health conditions such as liver disease\, high blood pressure\, stroke\, and cancer. \nThis Alcohol Awareness Week\, we’re simply inviting you to take 2 minutes to explore the role alcohol is playing in your life. This could mean understanding more about your alcohol risk level\, cutting back on how much you drink\, experimenting with an alcohol-free experience or simply learning more. There’s no one-size fits all approach. \nAnd we get it – exploring your relationship with alcohol might feel uncomfortable\, confronting\, or even a little daunting. That’s okay – you’re not alone in that feeling. But it might be a sign that this is just the right time to learn more\, get advice and take a step forwards. \nWhen we drink less alcohol\, the benefits often reach far beyond ourselves\, strengthening our relationships\, our families\, and improving our working lives\, communities\, and society. During Alcohol Awareness Week\, we’ll be sharing stories from people who’ve experienced alcohol harm\, exploring the impact it’s had on their lives and the lives of those around them\, and about the steps they’ve taken to bring about positive change for the benefit of everyone. \nWe can all take steps to make a change. And with improved support and prevention\, we can save money and save lives. \nJoin us for this year’s Alcohol Awareness Week to find out more about alcohol and its cost to us all. \nSource: About Alcohol Awareness Week | Alcohol Change UK

SUMMARY:World Chocolate Day
DESCRIPTION:World Chocolate Day is sometimes referred to as International Chocolate Day. \nIt takes place on 7 July every year\, and put simply\, it’s a celebration of all things chocolate! The event was created in 2009. In some countries around the world\, the day is celebrated on different dates. But July 7 was chosen for World Chocolate Day because this day is thought to be around the time that chocolate was introduced to European countries. It quickly became a favourite treat in South Africa and across the world! \nThere are all sorts of different ways that you can celebrate World Chocolate Day.  The most obvious is by tucking into some chocolate\, but what if you’re after some more outside the (chocolate) box ideas? \nWhy not bake some delicious chocolate chip cookies with your kids\, or watch “Charlie & the Chocolate Factory” movie with your family. Or find some fun facts and the history around chocolate? \nSource: World Chocolate Day 2026 | 7th July | Twinkl – Twinkl

SUMMARY:National Give Something Away Day
DESCRIPTION:Imagine a day when you could clean house and get rid of clutter\, show someone that you care\, gift small things to strangers\, and generally making the world a better place. Yes\, this day does\, in fact\, exist and on July 15 we celebrate National Give Something Away Day! \nIt’s better to give than to receive\, and this is the aim behind #NationalGiveSomethingAwayDay. “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” doesn’t literally mean junk or trash\, but items that can serve someone else better. The day encourages people to give freely to others without expecting anything in return. This is also a good way to declutter and pass on things that no longer fit us or are useful to us. \nMost of us undoubtedly have way more items than we need. National Give Something Away Day was established on July 15\, 2015\, by Linda Eaton Hall-Fulcher\, a self-proclaimed giver. Linda advocates giving back to the world. According to her\, this day is for everyone who cares. It advocates for giving to friends\, family\, and the less fortunate; for #MindfulConsumerism; and for being more aware of our #CarbonFootprint. \nGiving is the simplest act to exist that can brighten up another’s day\, and at times really bring about a positive change. Whether it is something small like giving a compliment\, giving your friend a jacket of yours that she really likes\, or donating clothes to the less fortunate\, these little things can have a big impact. \nEven though giving is a selfless act\, the reward goes both ways. We benefit from feeling good about giving and making someone’s day\, and at the same time\, we also let go of items that we no longer need and are just lying around. We also learn to be grateful for all our blessings and it makes us feel like responsible people who are improving the community. \n  \nSource:National Give Something Away Day (nationaltoday.com)

SUMMARY:International Friendship Day
DESCRIPTION:Today is International Day of Friendship ! \nOur world faces many challenges\, crises and forces of division — such as poverty\, violence\, and human rights abuses — among many others — that undermine peace\, security\, development and social harmony among the world’s peoples. \nTo confront those crises and challenges\, their root causes must be addressed by promoting and defending a shared spirit of human solidarity that takes many forms — the simplest of which is friendship. \nThrough #Friendship — by accumulating bonds of camaraderie and developing strong ties of trust — we can contribute to the fundamental shifts that are urgently needed to achieve lasting stability\, weave a safety net that will protect us all\, and generate passion for a better world where all are united for the greater good. \n  \nSource: International Day of Friendship | United Nations
