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.

Today’s ’s focus is work.

Nearly 3 million people are currently juggling paid work and care in the UK.

When they don’t have a carer friendly employer it can even become harder to cope. It’s not fair that every day 600 people have to leave their paid jobs to care.

We’re encouraging all employers to make sure they support and empower unpaid carers in the workplace.

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.

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/.

Carers Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face, and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK.
