Tinnitus Awareness Week highlights how sound and sensory environments can create barriers. Background noise, poor acoustics, and sensory overload all affect accessibility. Inclusive design considers how spaces feel, not just how they look.

Small changes can make a big difference.

It’s Time to Talk Day. Conversations about disability, health, and mental wellbeing don’t need perfect words; they need respect, curiosity, and listening. Creating space for open dialogue helps reduce stigma and builds trust across teams and communities.

How can you make it easier for people to talk?

World Cancer Day focuses on being United by Unique, recognising that every person’s experience of cancer is different. Many people live with long-term or invisible disabilities following treatment, and inclusive support starts with listening, empathy, and person-centred thinking.

Let’s move beyond assumptions and put people first.

Alt text: A purple-toned graphic showing four people socialising in a bar setting, including a wheelchair user and a person with a prosthetic leg. They are smiling and holding drinks. Text reads “United by Unique – This World Cancer Day” and includes the Purple Tuesday logo with the tagline “Accessibility Everyday, Everywhere for Everyone.”

If your hands or feet often turn cold, numb, painful or change colour, it could be Raynaud’s, a condition affecting up to 10 million people in the UK alone. Symptoms can be invisible, but the impact is very real.

Raynaud’s UK has a simple online test to help you understand whether what you’re experiencing could be Raynaud’s.

Take the test today: https://www.sruk.co.uk/about-raynauds/diagnosing-raynauds/take-our-online-raynauds-test/

On the right side of the image, additional white text says: “Take the online test and share it with friends and family!” The overall design uses bold white lettering and purple tones to promote Raynaud’s awareness.

Pain you can’t see is still real.

Today is International Paget’s Awareness Day 2026. Paget’s disease is a rare bone condition that can cause chronic pain, fatigue, reduced mobility, and increased sensitivity in affected areas. Pain can persist even when bones are treated, meaning employees may struggle with tasks in ways that aren’t obvious.

Employers can support staff by offering flexibility, rest breaks, ergonomic adjustments, and open conversations about wellbeing. Understanding invisible pain helps create a more inclusive workplace.
