Awareness days and campaigns run throughout the year, and many of our ALP members have found it helpful to use Skill Boosters resources to support learning around these events. To help with your planning, we have produced this calendar, listing relevant dates for each month. Please note that this is not a definitive list and that some awareness days may fall on different dates depending on who is running the campaign, so it is advisable to check the source before planning.
