🌍 World Blood Donor Day – 14th June 🩸

Did you know that around 4,300 blood donations are needed every day in the UK? Despite this, only 7% of adults are regular donors, and less than half of people have ever given blood.

This picture is similar across the world. World Blood Donor Day is celebrated each year to:

🔹 Raise awareness of the ongoing need for safe blood and blood products
🔹 Thank voluntary, unpaid donors for their life-saving generosity

Every donation can save up to three lives ❤️

If you’re able to donate, please consider booking an appointment and making a difference.

💙 Carers Week: 8th–14th June 💙

A carer is anyone who looks after someone who has a disability, physical or mental illness, addiction, or who needs extra support. 🤝

Caring is incredibly important and can be very rewarding 🌟, but it can also be challenging, isolating and financially demanding. It often has a big impact on a carer’s work and personal life, and without the right information and support, it can feel overwhelming.

Carers Week aims to raise awareness 📣, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face, and recognise the vital contribution they make 👏. It also helps people to identify themselves as carers and access much-needed support.

This year, Carers Week 2026 encourages us all to help build carer-friendly communities 🏡💛

🌼 Diabetes Week: 8th–14th June 🌼
