💙 Carers Rights Day – Thursday 20 November 💙
This year’s theme: “Know your rights, use your rights.”
Every day, 12,000 people in the UK become unpaid carers for a partner, family member, or friend — many don’t even realise they are carers or what support they’re entitled to.
Caring can be demanding, whether it’s 24/7 or alongside work and family life. Every carer deserves to know their rights and access support designed to ease some of the pressures of caring.
Let’s make sure carers are informed, supported, and celebrated. 💛

💙 Happy International Men’s Day! 💙
Today we celebrate the positive contributions men make to their families, workplaces, and communities — while shining a light on men’s health and wellbeing.
In the UK, the themes for the day are:
🔹 Making a positive difference to the wellbeing and lives of men and boys
🔹 Raising awareness and funds for charities supporting men and boys’ wellbeing
🔹 Promoting positive conversations about men, manhood, and masculinity
It’s a chance to recognise the men who inspire and support others, encourage open discussions about mental health, and challenge stereotypes.
To all the men making a difference — today we celebrate you. 🙌

🏳️‍⚧️ Transgender Awareness Week 🏳️‍⚧️
This week we recognise and celebrate the transgender community — sharing stories, raising awareness, and promoting understanding and inclusion.
The week leads up to the Transgender Day of Remembrance (20 November), when we honour the lives of those lost to transphobic violence and reflect on the need for continued action and allyship.
It’s also a time to celebrate the strength, resilience, and contributions of trans people everywhere, while standing together against discrimination and inequality. 💙💗🤍

At 11am on November 11, 1918, the Armistice was signed to end the fighting of WWI—a powerful moment in history that paved the way for peace. "Armistice" means "to stand (still) arms" in Latin.

Every year, we honour this moment across the UK with a Two Minute Silence at the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month – we will remember them. Lest we forget.

09/11/2025

On this , we come together to honour the brave men and women who served and sacrificed for our freedom. As we wear our poppies, let’s take a moment to reflect on their courage, resilience, and the lasting impact of their sacrifices. May we never forget the cost of our peace and continue to show gratitude for those who gave everything for a better future. We will remember them.

🎗️ Gastric Cancer Awareness Month 🎗️
November is dedicated to raising awareness about gastric (stomach) cancer — a disease that often shows few symptoms in its early stages but can have a serious impact.
Knowing the signs early can save lives. Common symptoms include:
• Persistent indigestion or stomach pain
• Feeling full quickly
• Unexplained weight loss
• Nausea or vomiting
This month, let’s spread knowledge, support those affected, and encourage early detection. Every conversation, share, and check-in matters. 💛

💙 Lung Cancer Awareness – Facts & Figures (UK) 💙

➡️ Lung cancer is the 3rd most common cancer in the UK.
➡️ Around 49,200 people are diagnosed each year — that’s more than 130 every day.
➡️ 72% of cases are linked to smoking.
➡️ 21% are caused by workplace exposures or air pollution.
🩺 Lung Cancer Screening
Lung screening is available for people aged 55–74 who have ever smoked.
You’ll need to be registered with a GP in an area where screening is available, and your GP record must show you’re a current or former smoker.
Screening is for people without symptoms — if you have any symptoms, please contact your GP as soon as possible.
💡 Early detection saves lives:
At stage 1, over 55% of people survive 5+ years after diagnosis.
At stage 4, that number drops to just 5%.
Know the signs. Get checked. Early action makes a difference. 💪

Every day, 240 people will wake up to the life-changing impact of a stroke. But with the right support, stroke recovery is possible.

is the only charity in the UK providing lifelong support for all stroke survivors and their families. Mums, dads, grandparents, young people, and even children can be left unable to move, see, speak, or even swallow. It’s a traumatic, life-changing event that robs survivors and their families of the life they knew.

This , join us in raising awareness of stroke and help the Stroke Association to support more stroke survivors at every step of their recovery. https://stroke.org.uk/
