Awareness days calendar

2027 dates not yet announced

These campaigns run every year, but their organisers hadn't published 2027 dates when this page was checked on 1 October 2026. The 2026 dates show roughly when to expect them.

Comic Relief has not yet confirmed the date of Red Nose Day 2027, and Fairtrade Fortnight now runs in late September and early October rather than in spring.

How this list is chosen

A date is only listed if the organiser publishes it. Many "national days" online are invented by brands or have no clear owner; they're left out. Global days set by bodies such as the UN or WHO, like World AIDS Day on 1 December, keep the same date every year. Campaign weeks usually move with the calendar, so check the organiser's site before you plan around one.

Planning a campaign

If you're planning content, a fundraiser or a school assembly, count back from the date with the days between dates calculator, or add weeks with the date calculator. Bank holidays and festivals are in important dates, and the whole year is on the 2027 calendar.
