National Inclusion Week, 14th–20th September

National Inclusion Week is a yearly event dedicated to celebrating inclusion and taking action to build inclusive workplaces. It is designed to engage all communities across gender, race, religion, LGBTQ+, disability, carers and social mobility.

Many organisations are struggling to maintain a focus on inclusivity due to changing expectations, economic pressure and increased scrutiny, even if they desire a workplace where everybody can thrive. This year’s theme, ‘Build Trust. Navigate Change’ reflects this reality. But by creating environments where people feel heard, respected and supported, organisations can make meaningful progress whilst navigating change with confidence

EveryWoman Day, 13th/14th September

EveryWoman Day is a project that was created to raise awareness and share experiences about women’s health, so that all women could benefit.

Research funds tend to be spent on killer health conditions, and many common, life-limiting women’s health problems are poorly understood. Sharing stories helps to remind women that they are not alone, and to raise awareness of the conditions which affect many women’s ability to live a normal life, but which are often ignored or dismissed.

On the EveryWoman Day website, you can also find stories from previous years, as well as articles, links and free video workshops covering women’s health topics that often go undiscussed. Visit https://www.everywomanfest.com/ to find out more.

Join the Everywoman Festival to explore women's health, empowerment, and education through inspiring talks, workshops, and creative experiences in London and Edinburgh.

Sexual Health Week, 14th–20th September

The theme of Sexual Health Week 2026 is ‘Let’s Connect!’ As we increasingly prioritise our ‘networks’ and ‘contacts’, many of us find it harder to make the meaningful connections that truly enrich our lives. So this year, Sexual Health Week is championing human connection across platonic, romantic and sexual relationships.

The week is run by Brook, whose website and socials will be full of expert insights, lived experiences and practical advice exploring how to build and sustain authentic relationships in the modern world, what it means to feel connected to our own bodies, emotions and needs, how to gain a feeling of belonging in a highly individualised world, and the importance of community in tackling stigma, abuse and health inequalities.

You can find all this, plus a campaign toolkit to help you spread the word at

For Sexual Health Week 2026, we’re championing human connection across platonic, romantic and sexual relationships.

National Eczema Week, 12th–19th September

Eczema is a non-contagious, inflammatory dry skin condition that affects 1 in 5 children and 1 in 10 adults in the UK. Mild cases of eczema cause itchy, scaly, dry, red skin, but in more severe cases, skin can weep, crust, split and bleed, leaving it open to infection.

There are various medications which can help to soothe eczema, and some people find that avoiding certain triggers can help, however, research is ongoing to try to find better treatments and cures.

National Eczema Week aims to highlight this sometimes debilitating skin condition, and Eczema UK’s website has lots of information about the causes, treatments and research priorities for eczema, as well as support for adults and parents of children of all ages suffering with eczema. Visit https://www.eczema.org.uk/support/all-treatments to find out more.

Explore eczema treatments from emollients and topical steroids to biologics like dupilumab. Expert guidance on managing eczema effectively.

World Sepsis Day, 13th September

Sepsis is a medical emergency, where the immune system goes into overdrive in response to an infection and injures the body’s own tissues and organs. It can quickly be fatal, but can be treated easily with antibiotics if spotted early enough.

Last year in the UK 48,000 people died as a result of sepsis, and many more were left with life-changing damage. There is no single symptom, but if you or someone with you has one of the symptoms, Sepsis UK encourages you to call 999 or go to A&E and just ask, ‘Could it be sepsis?

Find out the symptoms in adults and children, and what to do in an emergency at https://sepsistrust.org/about-sepsis/spotting-the-signs-of-sepsis/.

World Su***de Prevention Day, 10th September

It is estimated that there are currently more than 720,000 su***des per year worldwide, and each su***de profoundly affects many more people.

This year’s theme for World Su***de Prevention Day is ‘Changing the narrative on su***de’. It aims to inspire everyone to engage in open and honest discussions about su***de and suicidal behaviour and create better cultures of understanding and support.

We are all invited to light a candle at 8pm to show support for su***de prevention, to remember a loved one, and for the survivors of su***de. There are also many other ways you can get involved, which you can find on their website: https://www.iasp.info/wspd/.

Remember, if you are having suicidal thoughts, or are concerned about someone you know, you can contact Samaritans, who are there to listen 24/7. https://www.samaritans.org.

World Alzheimer’s Month, 1st–30th September

Dementia can be caused by many different diseases, including Alzheimer’s, and the term simply describes a set of symptoms that progressively affect memory, problem-solving, language and behaviour.

There is no cure for dementia, but some medications can slow down its progress if prescribed early enough. Therefore it is extremely important to go to the GP and get a diagnosis – the earlier it is diagnosed, the more can be done to help with treatments, care and support for the individual and their family. Therefore, this year’s campaign theme is: The Earlier You Know, The More You Can Do: A Dementia Diagnosis Matters.

You can find out more about dementia symptoms, treatment and support at https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/about-dementia/stages-and-symptoms/progression-stages-dementia and discover how you can get involved at https://www.alzint.org/get-involved/world-alzheimers-month/

Dementia is progressive. This means signs and symptoms may be relatively mild at first but they get worse with time. Dementia affects everyone differently, however it can be helpful to think of dementia progressing in 'three stages'.

Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month, 1st–30th September

Pulmonary fibrosis is a condition affecting 70,000 people in the UK, where the lungs become scarred over time, stopping them functioning properly. Symptoms often include shortness of breath, a dry cough, fatigue and weight loss. For many people, though not all, pulmonary fibrosis may get worse over time. Find out more about the condition, diagnosis, and support for living with pulmonary fibrosis at https://actionpf.org

Currently, pulmonary fibrosis cannot be stopped, but there are treatments to slow its progress, and to assist with breathing.

Read a variety of diagnosis stories and find fundraising ideas at the awareness month website, https://everybreathcounts.co.uk

You can share online, tell your story, bring people together in your community, go your distance, speak up for better care, donate, or do more than one action.
