Kiss A Ginger Day

This takes place on the 12th January and is a light-hearted day to spread the love and appreciation for red heads around the world. It’s a day to celebrate the uniqueness, rarity, and beauty of red hair. It’s a fun, inclusive day to promote diversity and the celebration of what makes each individual unique.

In Homer’s Iliad Menelaus and Achilles were red haired warriors. In Celtic mythology red hair is linked to strength. Red hair was seen as a divine connection with warriors who possessing red hair having a stronger link to the supernatural.

Paget’s Awareness Day 11th January

Paget’s disease was named after Sir James Paget who first described the disease in 1877. It is a chronic bone disorder characterised by the abnormal enlargement and weakening of bones, often leading to pain and deformities.
Paget’s disease primarily affects the bones, disrupting the normal process of bone remodelling, where old bone is replaced by new bone tissue. This condition can lead to bones becoming fragile and misshapen, commonly affecting the pelvis, skull, spine, and the long bones of the arms and legs. (health direct).
It's a common condition in the UK particularly in older people. It’s rare in people under 50 years of age. (NHS)
Symptoms can include bone pain, deformities, joint pain and neurological issues if the skull or spine is affected. There are medications called Bisphosphonates that can help strengthen bone and reduce pain. Surgery may also be needed if there are severe deformities.
Paget’s Awareness Day aims to educate the public about the disease as early diagnosis and effective management of this condition is vital. The day is also to highlight the ongoing efforts to improve lives of people affected by Paget’s disease through research and support (paget.org.uk).

National Brownie Day

National Brownie Day is celebrated on the 8th December. It is an unofficial food holiday. A brownie should be fudgy, chewy and square. It can be eaten on its own or in a sundae.

World AIDS Day.

This day is commemorated every 1st December. It is an opportunity to unite worldwide in the fight against HIV, to show support for people living with HIV and remember all those who have died from AIDS.

The theme for this year is “Overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response.” It highlights the challenges faced in the HIV response, including funding cuts and the need for “innovative solutions to address inequalities and ensure access to services for all communities.” (WHO)

AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is the name for a collection of serious illnesses caused by the HIV virus (human immunodeficiency virus). This is a virus that weakens your immune system and increases your risk of serious illness. AIDS is now often called late-stage or advanced HIV. (NHS)
According to the World Health Organisation after decades of progress, the HIV response stands at a crossroads. Life saving services are being disrupted, and many communities face heightened risks and vulnerabilities.
In 2024 an estimated 40.8 million people were living with HIV globally. Approximately 630,000 people died from HIV related causes.

Geography Awareness Week 17th-22nd November.

This week is to give dedicated time for schools, educators, and organisations to focus on geography related activities and initiatives.
It is a time to look at the role of geography in addressing challenges such as climate change, urban planning and resource management. It is a time to explore how geographical knowledge helps us connect with diverse landscapes and cultures.

Geography Awareness Week began in 1987 initiated by President Ronald Reagan. The National Geographic Society was vital in its creation.
