OUR STORY
From side project to the UK’s leading awareness day calendar
Awareness Days launched in 2014 with a straightforward goal: make it easier to find awareness days. At the time, there was no single resource that brought together awareness days, weeks, and months in one place.
Over the past decade, the site has grown to list over 1,500 events, attract more than 200,000 monthly visitors, and partner with over 500 organisations including charities, government bodies, and global brands.
Based in York, we remain focused on accuracy, editorial quality, and making awareness days accessible to everyone. Every event listing is researched, verified, and regularly updated.
