UK Windrush Day, 22nd June

This is a day to recognise and thank the ‘Windrush Generation’, who arrived 75 years ago, and their descendants for the enormous contributions they made to Britain during its recovery from the Second World War and since. It’s also an opportunity to reflect on the racism and intolerance the migrants faced due to the colour of their skin, and the devastating effects of the Windrush Scandal, which broke in 2018, when it was discovered that, despite living and working in the UK for decades, many of the Windrush Generation had been told by the Government that they were in the country illegally due to a lack of official paperwork.

You can find out more about the history of Windrush Day on https://combatstress.org.uk/blog/history-of-windrush-day. Many Caribbean communities in the UK hold Windrush Day events to celebrate and spread awareness, search online for local celebrations.

National Clean Air Day, 18th June

Air pollution is associated with between 29,000 and 43,000 deaths a year in the UK. The World Health Organization and the UK Government both recognise that air pollution is the largest environmental threat to our health, and this is a day to do something about it.

Autistic Pride Day, 18th June

Autistic Pride Day is led by Autistic people. It is a day to celebrate Autistic identity, share free resources, and create a world where Autistic people are respected, supported, and unapologetically themselves every day of the year.

Autistic Pride Day 2026 makes the statement ‘Noticing is not the same as acting’, and sees the launch of the demand for an Autism Standard. The conversation around autism has never been louder. However, the way funding and hiring decisions are made have not changed, and very few systems measure whether autistic people are actually okay.

Find a free toolkit to help you join in and help to make a difference at https://autisticprideday.org.

You can join Mencap’s ‘One Big Walk’ to raise funds and awareness, share your own story, or talk about the great things people with learning disabilities are doing in your community.

World Blood Donor Day, 14th June

On average, 4,300 blood donations are needed every day in the UK, but in a recent survey, only 7% of adults were regular donors, and less than half of adults have ever given blood. The picture is the same throughout the world.

World Blood Donor Day (WBDD) is celebrated every year to raise awareness of the need for safe blood and blood products and to thank voluntary, unpaid blood donors for their life-saving gifts of blood.

Every year’s World Blood Donor Day has its own theme – you can see all the themes and find out more about how to join in at https://www.who.int/campaigns/world-blood-donor-day. You can also find out more about donating blood in the UK at https://www.blood.co.uk.

Bike Week, 8th–14th June

Cycling UK’s Bike Week is a chance to show how cycling can make everyday life better – healthier, happier and greener for people and communities across the country. You can join in, even if you don’t currently cycle! You might simply choose to go out on a bike, but if you want to do more, there are two main events to join in with this year:

Host a Bike Week Brunch – Bringing people together around cycling and community, raising funds and spreading the word. You can find a fundraising pack on the website, full of ideas, tips and resources
Join The Big Bike Revival – There are free, friendly local sessions across the country to help adults build confidence, build skills or get back into cycling

Diabetes Week, 8th–14th June

Diabetes is a chronic condition causing high blood sugar. Type 1 diabetes is caused by an autoimmune reaction, and is often diagnosed in childhood. Type 2 is the most common, and is often driven by obesity and lifestyle choices. Diabetes can lead to serious health issues, but this can be avoided if it is well managed with monitoring, good diet and medication. You can find out the symptoms at https://www.diabetes.org.uk/about-diabetes/symptoms.

This Diabetes Week continues Diabetes UK’s campaign to Strike Out Stigma. Stigma causes harm, because blame and judgement can stop people getting the support they deserve, and the care they need. Find out more and get involved at https://www.diabetes.org.uk/support-us/diabetes-week.

Men’s Health Week, 8th–14th June

Men’s Health Week aims to champion and highlight men’s health at a time when many men ignore, dismiss, or are worried about keeping an eye on their own health.

Previous themes include issues like stress, keeping an eye on physical and mental health, diseases like diabetes and prostate cancer, and how men’s health might be affected by always having a phone in their pocket.

You can find out about this year’s theme and discover plenty of resources from this year and previous campaigns at https://www.menshealthforum.org.uk/mhw.

Carers Week, 8th–14th June

A carer is anyone who looks after someone who has a disability, mental or physical illness, addiction, or who needs extra help. Caring is very important and can be rewarding, but it can also be difficult, isolating and financially demanding, and often has a huge impact on the carer’s own work and personal life. Caring without the right information and support can be tough.

Carers Week aims to raise awareness, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make. It also helps people to identify themselves as carers and access much-needed support. Carers Week 2026 calls on us all to build carer-friendly communities.

You can find resources and help to understand more about caring and contribute to a carer-friendly society at https://www.carersweek.org/building-carer-friendly-communities/.
