SUMMARY:Stand Up to Bullying Day
DESCRIPTION:Today\, 27th February\, is Stand Up to Bullying Day\, launched in 2016 with the support of HRH The Duke of Cambridge. The day seeks to bring the nation together to take a collective stand against all forms of bullying\, whether in school\, the workplace\, online or elsewhere. Bullying can have lasting effects on a person’s psyche\, and it is important to recognize instances of bullying and put an end to them immediately. \nOne of the main tenets of Stand Up to Bullying Day is calling out others when their actions are unkind. So standing up to bullying isn’t as simple as not being a part of the problem\, what’s imperative is having the courage to call out others. Standing up means being an upstander\, not a bystander. \n#AntiBullying #BeKind #AlwaysBeKind #CyberBullying \n  \nSource: INTERNATIONAL STAND UP TO BULLYING DAY – February 27\, 2026 – National Today \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Rare Disease Day
DESCRIPTION:RARE DISEASE DAY IS TAKING PLACE ON 28th FEBRUARY 2026 \nDid you know that there are 3.5 million people in the UK living with a rare condition? And that 1 in 17 people will be affected by a rare condition at some point in their lives? \nRare Disease Day is a globally coordinated movement dedicated to rare diseases\, striving for equity in social opportunities\, healthcare\, and access to diagnosis and therapies for people living with a rare disease. \nSince its creation in 2008\, Rare Disease Day has played a crucial role in building an international rare disease community—multi-disease\, global\, and diverse\, yet united in purpose. \nThough Rare Disease Day is patient-led\, everyone—including individuals\, families\, caregivers\, healthcare professionals\, researchers\, clinicians\, policymakers\, industry representatives\, and the general public—can participate in raising awareness and taking action for this vulnerable population in urgent need of attention. \nBy spreading the word on social media\, organising events\, illuminating buildings\, monuments\, and homes\, sharing experiences online and with friends\, calling on policymakers\, and shining a light on people living with a rare disease\, we collectively aim to change and improve the lives of 300 million people worldwide. \nWhy not get involved and share your story !

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:World Hearing Day
DESCRIPTION:Every year on 3rd March its World Hearing Day\, which exists to raise awareness on how to prevent #Deafness and hearing loss and promote ear and hearing care across the world. \nThis year\, WHD highlights the theme “From communities to classrooms: hearing care for all children.” \nThe campaign focuses on two imperatives: \n\nPreventing avoidable childhood hearing loss\nEnsuring early identification of and care for children with ear or hearing problems\nSchools and communities are natural entry points to reach children\, parents\, and teachers. By integrating hearing care into school health and child health programmes\, we can help children hear\, learn\, and succeed.\n\n\nEar and hearing problems are among the most common problems encountered in the community.\nOver 60% of these can be identified and addressed at the primary level of care.\nIntegration of ear and hearing care into primary care services is possible through training and capacity building at this level.\nSuch integration will benefit people and help countries move towards the goal of universal health coverage.\n\nKey messages: \n\nGlobally\, over 80% of ear and hearing care needs remain unmet.\nUnaddressed hearing loss poses an annual cost of nearly US$1 trillion globally.\nDeeply ingrained societal misperceptions and stigmatizing mindsets are key factors that limit efforts for preventing and addressing hearing loss.\nChanging mindsets related to ear and hearing care is crucial to improving access and mitigating the cost of unaddressed hearing loss.\n\nLet’s make ear and hearing care a reality for all! \n  \nSource: https://worldhearingday.org/

SUMMARY:World Book Day
DESCRIPTION:The 5th March this year is World Book Day! \n#WorldBookDay changes lives through a love of books and shared reading. Their mission is to promote reading for pleasure\, offering every child and young person the opportunity to have a book of their own.  \nReading for pleasure is the single biggest indicator of a child’s future success – more than their family circumstances\, their parents’ educational background or their income.

SUMMARY:World Kidney Day
DESCRIPTION:World Kidney Day is a global campaign aimed at raising awareness of the importance of our #kidneys. \nOn March 12th\, we invite everyone to celebrate World Kidney Day and advance kidney health education. This years theme is “Are Your Kidneys OK?” -Detect early\, protect\nkidney health. \nChronic kidney disease (CKD) is estimated to affect approximately 850 million people worldwide[1]. If left undetected and not treated timely\, CKD can progress to kidney failure\, leading to severe complications and premature mortality. By 2040\, CKD is projected to become the 5th leading cause of years of life lost[2]\, highlighting the urgent need for global strategies to combat kidney disease. \nPopulations at high risk for kidney disease should undergo targeted testing. \nThe major risk factors for kidney disease are: \n\nDiabetes\nHypertension\nCardiovascular disease\nObesity\nFamily history of kidney disease.\n\nSimple\, non-invasive\, and cost-effective tests for high-risk populations include: \n\nBlood pressure measurements to check for hypertension.\nBody Mass Index (BMI)\, which is an estimation of body fat based on height and weight. BMI can be calculated here.\nUrine test:\n\nAlbumin in urine (Albuminuria) to assess kidney damage. Urinary Albumin-Creatinine Ratio (uACR) is preferrable.\n\n\nBlood tests:\n\nGlycosylated haemoglobin or fasting or random glucose to check for type 2 diabetes.\nSerum creatinine (more accurate if in combination with cystatin C) to estimate Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) and evaluate kidney function.\n\n\n\n  \nEarly detection policies for individuals at risk should be implemented globally to reduce the healthcare costs associated with kidney failure and improve quality of life. \nLets talk about our experiences with friends\, family\, colleagues\, social media followers and local media – sharing what it is like to live with kidney disease will really help to raise awareness. \n#WorldKidneyDay #KidneysMatter #KidneyTransplation #KidneyHealth \nSource:  2025 campaign – World Kidney Day 2025 \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Mother's Day
DESCRIPTION:Mothering Sunday\, more commonly known as Mother’s Day\, is observed in The UK every year on the fourth Sunday of Lent\, which means it is a moveable feast. As such it is always three weeks before Easter Sunday. \nIt is a day for celebrating #Mothers and showering them with gifts and treats. \nThe origins of Mothering Sunday\nCelebrations of motherhood go back to the ancient Greeks and Romans. The Greeks had festivals honouring Rhea and Cybele\, known as the mother goddesses\, and the Romans celebrated mothers during the festival of Hilaria. \nThe roots of Mothering Sunday can be found in the church. It was originally a day when Christians would return to their ‘mother’ church\, the church in their hometown\, or where their family worshiped. As such it also became a time when wealthy landowners would give their younger servants the day off so that they could go home to attend church with their families. \nIn time\, it evolved to become a church celebration of mothers and #Motherhood. It was a day when the church would pray for mothers and hand out flowers\, commonly daffodils\, to not only the mothers in the church but all women. It also became a more secular occasion\, a time when people would not return home to attend church\, but return home to spend time with their mothers. \nNo matter whether the day is referred to as #MotheringSunday or as #MothersDay\, the principle message remains the same\, respect and appreciate your mother and other women in your life who have helped you to become the person you are.

It aims to transform how #Neurodivergent individuals are perceived and supported by providing schools\, universities\, and organisations with the opportunity to recognise the many talents and advantages of being neurodivergent\, while creating more inclusive and equitable cultures that celebrate differences and empower every individual. \n\n\n\nIf we work together there is no limit to the change we can make. \n\nIt is time to recognise the many strengths and talents that come from thinking and perceiving the world differently. By celebrating the strengths of #Neurodivergent individuals\, we can begin the seismic shift of changing the way neurodivergent individuals are perceived and supported\, empowering them to achieve their potential. \nTogether\, we can change the narrative. \n\n\n\n\n\nSource: Neurodiversity Celebration Week (neurodiversityweek.com)

SUMMARY:St Patrick's Day
DESCRIPTION:St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated annually on March 17\, the anniversary of his death in the fifth century.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe #Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over 1\,000 years. On #StPatricksDay\, which falls during the Christian season of Lent\, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance\, drink and feast on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage.\n\n\n \n\n\nSaint Patrick\, who lived during the fifth century\, is the patron saint of Ireland and its national apostle. Born in Roman Britain\, he was kidnapped and brought to #Ireland as a slave at 16. He later escaped\, but returned to Ireland and was credited with bringing Christianity to its people.\n\n\n \n\n\nSource:  When is St. Patrick’s Day 2026? | Sky HISTORY TV Channel

SUMMARY:World Down Syndrome Day
DESCRIPTION:For World Down Syndrome Day 2026\, The theme is what we are asking supporters to talk about on and around World Down Syndrome Day. This year we are calling on everyone around the world to stand\nTogether Against Loneliness\nEveryone feels lonely sometimes. But for many people with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities\, loneliness is a more common and painful experience. \nTheir families can feel lonely too\, and feel cut off from support. \nLoneliness can feel like different things:\n–  Not having a group of friends or a community to belong to.\n–  Not having a close\, special person to share your feelings with. \nLoneliness is a serious problem. \nLoneliness is not just a sad feeling. It is bad for our health and happiness. It can make people feel anxious or depressed. It can also harm physical health. \n#DownSyndrome #DifferentlyAbled #WouldntChangeAThing #EndTheStereotypes #ImproveOurSupportSystems \n#WorldDownSyndromeDay\nFind Out More Here:  https://www.worlddownsyndromeday.org/

SUMMARY:British Summer Time Begins
DESCRIPTION:Daylight savings start today in the UK with the start of British Summer Time. \nSunrise and sunset will be about 1 hour later on 29th March 2026 than the day before. Meaning that there will be less light first thing and more light in the evening. \nHistory of Daylight Savings: \n‘Spring forward\, fall back’. In spring\, the clocks go forward one hour and British Summer Time begins. In autumn (fall)\, the clocks go back as British Summer Time comes to an end and the UK reverts back to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). \nBut when did this practice begin\, and why? British Summer Time\, also known as Daylight Saving Time\, was the brainchild of a builder from Kent called William Willett. The story goes that one day on his way back from riding his horse in Petts Wood near his home in the early 1900s\, he noticed many of the blinds and curtains in the neighbouring houses were still drawn\, even though it was light. This led him to consider the idea of adapting the time to better fit daylight hours. Back then the clocks were set all year round to Greenwich Mean Time\, meaning it was light by 3am and dark around 9pm in the summer. \nSource: https://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/British-Summer-Time/

SUMMARY:World Bipolar Day
DESCRIPTION:The vision of World Bipolar Day is to bring world awareness to #Bipolar disorders and to eliminate social stigma. \nBipolar is a severe mental illness characterised by extreme mood swings and changes in energy levels. Someone with bipolar can have long or short periods of stability but can then go ‘low’ (into deep depression) or ‘high’ (experiencing hypomania\, mania or psychosis). \nBipolar mood swings go far beyond most people’s everyday experiences of feeling a bit down or happy. To help explain the extremes of mood\, Bipolar UK uses a Mood Scale where 0 is low and 10 is high. \nPeople without bipolar have moods that sit in the middle of the scale. On their worst days when they feel down\, they rank 4. On their best days when they feel happy\, they rank 6. \nPeople with bipolar experience a much wider range of moods — from 0 (deep depression with recurring suicidal thoughts) to 10 (an extreme manic high with psychosis and hallucinations). They can also experience a ‘mixed state’ too\, where symptoms of depression and mania occur at the same time. \n#WorldBiPolarDay #Bipolar #MoodDisorder \n  \nFind out more at: https://www.bipolaruk.org/bipolar-awareness-day

SUMMARY:April Fools Day
DESCRIPTION:April Fools’ Day—celebrated on April 1 each year—has been celebrated for several centuries by different cultures\, though its exact origins remain a mystery. April Fools’ Day traditions include playing hoaxes or practical jokes on others\, often yelling “April Fools!” at the end to clue in the subject of the April Fools’ Day prank. While its exact history is shrouded in mystery\, the embrace of April Fools’ Day jokes by the media and major brands has ensured the unofficial holiday’s long life. *1 \nSome of the Best – Shared by BBC\nThe Swiss spaghetti harvest\nIn 1957 Richard Dimbleby\, Panoram\, anchored the piece about a particularly bountiful crop of spaghetti in Switzerland. *2 \nThe islands of San Serriffe\nIf you think typefaces can’t be funny\, think again. \nIn 1977\, the Guardian published a travel guide to the mysterious island grouping of San Serriffe. The two islands\, Upper Caisse and Lower Caisse\, formed the shape of a semicolon. *2\n \n  \n*Source: \n*1 https://www.history.com/topics/holidays/april-fools-day \n*2 https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z7gbxyc

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: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:National Siblings Day
DESCRIPTION:April 10th is National Siblings Day. A wonderful opportunity to shine a light on the value of sibling relationships\, to highlight what an important role siblings play. \n#Siblings who grow up with a disabled brother or sister often spend a lot of time coming second (or third or fourth…) to the needs of another. Their day-to-day life may centre around their brother or sister’s routine and their abilities. It can be challenging to share time with parents and some siblings may be helping out more around the home or with caring tasks. \nAs adults\, siblings may have the longest-standing relationship with their disabled brother or sister across the lifespan\, beyond that of care providers\, professionals and other family members. Siblings are often advocates for their brother or sister’s needs whilst juggling a work and family life of their own. \nMany siblings enjoy and value the unique connection and relationship they share with their brother or sister.  National Siblings Day is a wonderful opportunity to shine a light on the value of sibling relationships\, to highlight what an important role siblings play in the lives of their disabled brothers and sisters and to celebrate siblings in their own right too. \n  \n#ItsaSiblingThing \nSource:  Celebrate National Siblings Day on 10th April 2026 – Sibs \n

SUMMARY:Micro Volunteering Day
DESCRIPTION:People all over the world are often inspired to want to do something for a worthy cause\, but they simply don’t know where to start. That’s because all of us tend to focus on the big acts of volunteering — the types that make the news. Fortunately\, there’s another way that people can take action that’s just as good as the big sweeping acts of #Charity. \n#Microvolunteering allows people to take smaller actions\, many times from the comfort of their own homes\, to support a cause that they believe in. It’s something that allows everyone to take action and that’s why people try their hands at doing it on International Microvolunteering Day. This day falls on 15th April every year and allows everyone to support the causes they love. \nPeople can spread the news of this Awareness Day through social media and encourage other people to also support their favourite causes by taking the time to spread the news of this cause using the hashtag #MicrovolunteeringDay on social media. \nThis is a great way to help encourage change and to get all of us on the same page. So\, let’s go out there and support the organisations that we support. \n
