International Day of the Midwife, 5th May
ICM has been the global voice of midwives and midwives’ associations for more than 100 years. They work to advance midwifery and support strong midwives’ associations worldwide, so midwives can provide high-quality care in every setting.

They uphold the right of women and gender diverse people to access quality care from autonomous midwives, as set out in standards defined by ICM, including the Definition and Scope of Practice of a Midwife.

International Day of the Midwife, 5th May

The world is short of nearly one million midwives, which means that both mothers and babies all over the globe cannot access the essential healthcare they need. For this reason, the theme of this year’s International Day of the Midwife is ‘One Million More Midwives’. The aim is to raise awareness of this crisis with decision makers and the general population worldwide, to encourage more training and investment in this vital role.

You can get involved by signing the petition and find awareness-raising ideas at https://millionmore.org/idm/

Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week, 4th–10th May

Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week is dedicated to talking about mental health problems before, during and after pregnancy. A survey by the organisers discovered that, overwhelmingly, women do not feel listened to about their mental health, so this week is designed to highlight the issues, increase access to information and support, and change attitudes.

Get involved using , and find more information, including this year’s themes and activities at https://maternalmentalhealthalliance.org/get-involved/maternal-mental-health-awareness-week/

Dying Matters Week, 4th–10th May

Hospice UK work with organisations, decision makers and the public to make things better for people who are dying or grieving. In the UK, we don’t have the right language to talk about death, so not everyone gets the right support for them as they approach the end of life. This year's theme is 'Let’s talk about Death and Dying', and communities are encouraged to get talking in whatever way, shape or form works for them.

You can join the ‘Dying Matters’ community, share your story, find resources and learn about your compassionate superpowers on Hospice UK’s website: https://www.hospiceuk.org/our-campaigns/dying-matters

Stroke Awareness Month, 1st–31st May

Stroke can be devastating, and can happen to anyone, of any age, at any time. The faster you call 999 and get treatment, the better the chances of survival and recovery, so it's vital to know how to spot the signs of a stroke, which you can see here: https://www.stroke.org.uk/stroke/symptoms

Stroke Association is asking everyone to ‘Make May Purple’, so they can fund research and support more people affected by stroke. You can organise a ‘purple event’, or join their ‘31 Minutes in May’ campaign and pledge to exercise for 31 minutes a day. Find more fundraising ideas, resources and stroke information on their website: https://www.stroke.org.uk/stroke-awareness-month
