Awareness and Recognitions

Throughout the year, this calendar serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by communities and the progress made towards understanding, empathy, and change. Each month, you'll find a selection of dates that shine a light on significant societal issues. From health awareness to social justice milestones, this calendar is a visual representation of unity in our community. By tuning in, you not only stay organised but also actively engage with topics that matter. This encourages conversations and a shared commitment to creating a more informed and compassionate world.
