Mental Health Awareness Week (11-17th May 2026)

• Run a series of events and workshops designed to foster greater mental wellbeing.

• Run an internal communications campaign, signposting employees to existing mental health support (e.g., EAP).

National Walking Month (May 2026)

• Encourage employees to support their physical health through a walking or steps challenge. You could gamify this by offering prizes for the most steps taken or the most consistent participation.
• Promote the benefits of walking for physical and mental health through internal communications.

Menopause Awareness Day (October 18th 2026)

• Consider running a specialist menopause workshop to explore symptoms, their impact, and effective management strategies.
