Important Awareness Days For UK Parents

There are so many awareness campaigns relevant to us mummies and daddies!

Whether to help raise awareness of causes personal to us, or to help us to learn more about important topics, awareness campaigns are such a fantastic way to get involved with the wider community and contribute to spreading the word. Knowledge is power, and we can use this to help those around us.

We've put together this calendar of upcoming UK-based awareness days, weeks, months and campaigns for the rest of 2023 in the hope that it comes in handy!
