Tinnitus Awareness Week highlights how sound and sensory environments can create barriers. Background noise, poor acoustics, and sensory overload all affect accessibility. Inclusive design considers how spaces feel, not just how they look.

Small changes can make a big difference.

It’s Time to Talk Day. Conversations about disability, health, and mental wellbeing don’t need perfect words; they need respect, curiosity, and listening. Creating space for open dialogue helps reduce stigma and builds trust across teams and communities.

How can you make it easier for people to talk?

Alt text: Two people walk together through a modern urban area, one carrying a basket of flowers and using a prosthetic arm. They appear engaged in conversation. A purple overlay sits across the image with text promoting open dialogue about disability and the Purple Tuesday campaign.

World Cancer Day focuses on being United by Unique, recognising that every person’s experience of cancer is different. Many people live with long-term or invisible disabilities following treatment, and inclusive support starts with listening, empathy, and person-centred thinking.

Let’s move beyond assumptions and put people first.

Alt text: A purple-toned graphic showing four people socialising in a bar setting, including a wheelchair user and a person with a prosthetic leg. They are smiling and holding drinks. Text reads “United by Unique – This World Cancer Day” and includes the Purple Tuesday logo with the tagline “Accessibility Everyday, Everywhere for Everyone.”

If your hands or feet often turn cold, numb, painful or change colour, it could be Raynaud’s, a condition affecting up to 10 million people in the UK alone. Symptoms can be invisible, but the impact is very real.

Raynaud’s UK has a simple online test to help you understand whether what you’re experiencing could be Raynaud’s.

Take the test today: https://www.sruk.co.uk/about-raynauds/diagnosing-raynauds/take-our-online-raynauds-test/

Alt text: A rectangular promotional graphic with a purple gradient background. At the top left, the Purple Tuesday logo appears with the tagline “Accessibility Everyday, Everywhere for Everyone.” In the centre-left, large white text reads: “This Raynaud’s Awareness Month .” Below the text is a simple illustration of a hand with three fingers shown in a lighter, pale colour to represent Raynaud’s symptoms. On the right side of the image, additional white text says: “Take the online test and share it with friends and family!” The overall design uses bold white lettering and purple tones to promote Raynaud’s awareness.

It’s Data Privacy Day. Disabled people are often required to share personal information to access support and adjustments. Organisations must ensure data is handled responsibly, securely and inclusively to build trust.

Building disability confidence starts with listening, learning and acting. Inclusive workplaces don’t happen by accident they’re created through awareness, training and accessible systems that support everyone to thrive.
