2025 will mark the 80th anniversaries of VE Day (Victory in Europe Day) on 8 May and VJ Day (Victory over Japan Day) on 15 August.

At 3pm on VE Day, Churchill made a national radio broadcast. In it, he announced the welcome news that the war had ended in Europe – but he included a note of caution, saying: ‘We may allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing; but let us not forget for a moment the toil and efforts that lie ahead.’ He knew that the war was not over: Japan still had to be defeated

Harry Potter Day

Choose from Gryffindor (fire), Hufflepuff (earth), Slytherin (water) or Ravenclaw (air).
Today is chosen as it is the day that the great Battle of Hogwarts was fought. And because this battle is when Lord Voldemort was finally defeated, it seems like a fitting time to celebrate!

In honour of International Harry Potter Day, perhaps it would be fun to learn a few different bits of trivia about the series and its author. Get started with some of these:
JK Rowling holds the Guinness record for highest-selling series by a single author.
Harry Potter’s birthday is on July 31 – the same as author JK Rowling.
Rowling was asked to play Harry’s mother in the first movie, but she turned it down.
The city of Edinburgh, Scotland was inspirational for Rowling as she wrote the first book.

International Guide Dog Day

Guide dogs do a great deal for their owners. Not only do they help guide their owners throughout the day, but they also protect them from harm, assist them with tasks, and provide consistent emotional support like no other. Guide dog trainers work hard to help these loyal partners to hone these skills.

These dogs are seen by many as a joy that makes the world a better place for their owners and their families. And International Guide Dog Day aims to help others show appreciation for the hard work they do.

World Wish Day is a day that celebrates wishes in all forms! This includes wishes that have not been granted yet, as well as those that have been.

The day was established by the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This is a non-profit organization that was founded in Phoenix, United States. The purpose of the organization is to help terminally ill children achieve their wishes. They grant wishes for children between the age of two-and-a-half-years-old and 17-years-old.

It was the wish of seven-year-old Leukaemia sufferer Chris Greicius to become a police officer. When police heard about this they wanted to help and granted his wish. Young Chris was a police officer for one day on the 29th of April 1980. Others heard about this and thought that granting wishes for sick children was a good idea. So, the Make-A-Wish Foundation was founded and became one of the best-known children’s charities in the world.

This led to the birth of World Wish Day – the anniversary of the day the police granted Chris’ wish. Lt. Col. Dick Schaefer presented Chris with an old police badge of his and a “Smokey Bear” hat for the day. Plus, he swore in Chris as the first honorary DPS officer of Arizona (and only one for that matter!). The officers even made sure that there was an official police uniform made especially Chris. The uniform arrived at the hospital on the 1st of May, and Chris was delighted to wear it. Sadly, Chris’s battle with leukaemia was lost a mere two days later.

Autism affects approximately 1 out of every 150 children around the world. It is a neural development disorder that affects their ability to socialize normally by impacting their abilities to utilize verbal and non-verbal communication. Since 2012, there has been a 30% increase in the amount of children being affected with autism, and World Autism Awareness Day helps to bring awareness to this growing health concern.

Signs of autism first appear very early on in life, sometimes manifesting as early as infancy, and at other times waiting until later in childhood. In most people, this disorder progresses steadily without remission, with its first symptoms generally appearing around six-months of age on average, and being firmly in place by age two or three.

Rather than having one distinguishing characteristic, Autism is indicated by the coming together of three separate symptoms. The triad includes difficulty socializing, problems in communication, and a limited number of interests that are combined with repetitive behaviour, such as can-stacking, fidgeting, body rocking or vocalizations.

Sexual violence and abuse are rampant issues affecting millions of people each year. It’s time to raise awareness about the need to end sexual violence and make a difference for the future by participating in events and activities dedicated to the SAAM Day of Action!
Get started celebrating the day by coordinating your wardrobe with others to show support for the SAAM Day of Action! Teal is the support color for the entire month, and specifically for this day, to promote awareness about sexual assault and work toward prevention. Teal is also a colour that honours survivors of sexual violence and harassment, so those who are willing to share their stories might choose to wear teal on this day.

This is a condition I live with daily. Today we highlight this common but unknown condition.

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a brain network disorder that can encompass a diverse range of neurological symptoms including limb weakness, paralysis, seizures, walking difficulties, spasms, twitching, sensory issues and more. Anyone of any age can receive the diagnosis. For many symptoms are severe and disabling, and life changing for all.

Whilst the symptoms may appear similar to those seen in neurological conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s and Epilepsy, and can be just as debilitating, they have a different underlining cause.

The basic wiring of the nervous system is intact, but there is a problem with how the brain/nervous system is “functioning”, and how the brain fails to send and/or receive signals (messages) correctly. This impacts on how the body responds to different tasks such as movement control and attention.

Functional seizures are a symptom of FND. Anyone, of any age, can develop functional seizures (formerly known as Non-Epileptic Attack Disorder [NEAD]). These seizures look like epileptic seizures but are not caused by the electrical activity in the brain.

A functional seizure can differ from person to person and may present as dissociation, blackouts, collapsing, twitching and jerking. People can be aware (but not always) of what is occurring and are unable to communicate.

It is currently believed that functional seizures are triggered by the brain’s response to overwhelming stress, which can be from emotional or physical (e.g. pain) triggers, but there may be other causes. For some people symptoms may proceed a specific traumatic incident, for others an accumulation of stress over time, and for others no reason at all. Many people are confused by the diagnosis as they don’t feel particularly stressed, especially given it is common for people to have seizures during rest.
