So April is #StressAwarenessMonth raising awareness of the causes and cures for our modern-day stress epidemic. It is the time when we have an opportunity for an open conversation on the impact of stress. This year’s theme ‘Little By Little, A Little Becomes A Lot’ conveys that small consistent actions each day contribute to overall wellbeing as a cumulative effect.
The Stress Management Society is encouraging you to look deeper into what actions you can take to create a change in your personal and professional life. One way is to take part in their One Day at a Time: Daily Wellness Challenge and pick one action for your physical, mental and emotional well-being to carry out each day of the month. Other things you can do are share your own coping mechanisms and what has worked for you.
For more information about the One Day at a Time: Daily Wellness Challenge and to test your stress levels online visit stress.org.uk.
April is also……..
#NationalPetMonth celebrating the joy pets can bring to us but also raising awareness of the ongoing needs of many pets of all kinds waiting to be adopted. Whether you are visiting/volunteering at a shelter, holding a competition to win some pet products, launching a pet day survey, or highlighting your staff’s favourite pets, get involved.
Next up is……..
#WalktoWorkDay on 5th April encouraging us all to put our trainers on and get moving. Businesses can encourage their staff to partake by rewarding them with a healthy breakfast on their arrival at work. If you walk to work already maybe encourage someone who doesn’t or why not arrange a walk-to-work meeting to kick-start the working day.
#WorldHealthDay on 7th April. Founded by the World Health Organisation, World Health Day promotes health, keeping the world safe and serving the vulnerable – so everyone, everywhere can attain the highest level of health and well-being. This year’s theme 'My health, my right’ was chosen to champion the right of everyone, everywhere to have access to quality health services, education, and information, as well as safe drinking water, clean air, good nutrition, quality housing, decent working and environmental conditions, and freedom from discrimination.

#MSAwarenessWeek from 22nd to 28th April, a crucial time to spotlight multiple sclerosis (MS) and its impact. Social media platforms provide a powerful avenue to raise awareness during this period. By using hashtags like #MSAwarenessWeek, sharing personal stories, and informative content, we can reach a wider audience and advocate for those affected by MS. Let's unite online to increase understanding and support for this important cause.

#StopFoodWasteDay on 24th April, the largest single day of action in the fight against food waste to ignite change regarding the global food waste issue by drawing attention to the problem and at the same time educating how we can change our behaviour to minimise food waste. It's easy for everyone to get involved with reducing the impact of food waste, not just on Stop Food Waste Day both in our personal and professional lives following three sayings: Prevent, Inspire and Repurpose. For more information visit stopfoodwasteday.com
That’s nearly it, but I’ve just got one more awareness day to finish with……….
#InternationalDanceDay on 29th April celebrating anyone who attaches value and importance to dance, and acts as a wake-up call for governments, politicians and institutions which have not yet recognised its value. This is ideal for dance schools and dancewear shops to promote the benefit of dancing, classes and products. For more information visit international-dance-day.org.
