November Awareness Days 2026: UK Awareness Dates and Social Media Calendar

How are we in November already?

This month is packed with awareness months, days, national events and important campaigns. It’s a brilliant month for planning engaging and meaningful content.

From COPD Awareness Month (one close to my heart, as my mum has it), to Diabetes, mouth cancer, adoption and gratitude.

Awareness day topics range from World Vegan Day, National Stress Awareness Day, to Bonfire Night and Diwali.
