Autistic Pride Day is led by Autistic people. It is a day to celebrate Autistic identity, share free resources, and create a world where Autistic people are respected, supported, and unapologetically themselves every day of the year.

Autistic Pride Day 2026 makes the statement ‘Noticing is not the same as acting’, and sees the launch of the demand for an Autism Standard. The conversation around autism has never been louder. However, the way funding and hiring decisions are made have not changed, and very few systems measure whether autistic people are actually okay.

On average, 4,300 blood donations are needed every day in the UK, but in a recent survey, only 7% of adults were regular donors, and less than half of adults have ever given blood. The picture is the same throughout the world.

World Blood Donor Day (WBDD) is celebrated every year to raise awareness of the need for safe blood and blood products and to thank voluntary, unpaid blood donors for their life-saving gifts of blood.

Every year’s World Blood Donor Day has its own theme – you can see all the themes and find out more about how to join in at https://www.who.int/campaigns/world-blood-donor-day. You can also find out more about donating blood in the UK at https://www.blood.co.uk.

The World Blood Donor Day, 14 June, serves to thank voluntary, unpaid blood donors for their life-saving gifts of blood and to raise awareness of the need for regular blood donations.

Diabetes is a chronic condition causing high blood sugar. Type 1 diabetes is caused by an autoimmune reaction, and is often diagnosed in childhood. Type 2 is the most common, and is often driven by obesity and lifestyle choices. Diabetes can lead to serious health issues, but this can be avoided if it is well managed with monitoring, good diet and medication. You can find out the symptoms at https://www.diabetes.org.uk/about-diabetes/symptoms.

This Diabetes Week continues Diabetes UK’s campaign to Strike Out Stigma. Stigma causes harm, because blame and judgement can stop people getting the support they deserve, and the care they need. Find out more and get involved at https://www.diabetes.org.uk/support-us/diabetes-week.

Are you worried that you, your child or someone you know may have diabetes? Having some diabetes symptoms doesn’t mean you definitely have the condition, but you should always contact your GP, just to make sure.
