1st – 7th December is Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness week. The week focuses on raising awareness of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), highlighting the daily challenges and emotional toll it takes on those living with the conditions.

Crohn’s and Colitis are both types of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. You can’t always see Crohn’s or Colitis, but around 1 in 120 people in the UK are living with these life-changing conditions.

In Crohn’s, parts of the gut become swollen, inflamed, and ulcerated. This can cause pain, diarrhoea, weight loss and fatigue, and you may have other symptoms too.

In Colitis, parts of the large bowel become swollen, inflamed and ulcerated. This can cause diarrhoea, blood in your poo, weight loss, tiredness and tummy pain, and you may have other symptoms too.

1st December is World Aids Day

World AIDS Day is a global movement to unite people in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Since 1988, communities have stood together on World AIDS Day to show strength and solidarity against HIV stigma and to remember lives lost.

In the UK, more than 105,000 people are living with HIV. More than 35 million people have died of HIV or AIDS related illnesses over the past 40 years, making it one of the most destructive pandemics in history.

Medical advances mean people with HIV can expect a long and healthy life and that we have the tools to stop HIV transmissions for good. But HIV continues to be highly stigmatised and misunderstood. At National AIDS Trust, the UK’s HIV rights charity, we are contacted weekly by people experiencing discrimination because of HIV, including in work, education, housing and even healthcare.

World AIDS Day exists to shine a light on the real experiences of people living with HIV today, while celebrating the strength, resilience and diversity of the communities most affected. It is a moment to inspire the leadership needed to create a future where HIV doesn’t stand in the way of anyone’s life.

Carers Rights Day 2025: Thursday 20 November

Carers Rights Day is about raising awareness of the rights the UK’s 5.8 million unpaid carers are entitled to, and to help them get the support they need and the recognition they deserve.

The theme is 'Know your rights, use your rights.' Get involved and help to make sure more carers are aware of their rights and feel empowered to use them.

Every day, 12,000 people become unpaid carers for a partner, family member or a friend – many of whom don’t see themselves as carers, often unaware of their legal rights and what they’re entitled to in terms of support and benefits.

Carers should not have to miss out on support designed to reduce some of the pressures caring can bring. Whether they care 24/7 or juggle care with work and family life, are new to caring or have been for many years, and wherever they live in the UK – all carers deserve to understand their rights and be supported to use them if they wish.

Baby Week 14th -20th November

Baby Week was born in Leeds and is celebrating 10 years in 2025! Baby Week was established to promote the best start in life, bring sectors together and celebrate babies! Working with Child Friendly Leeds, NHS and partners across the city to support the ambition to make it the best place to grow up in and we know we can’t do it alone. Baby Week has one aim, to make the UK the best place to grow up in and we can only do this if we start thinking, planning, working with the lens of a baby, toddler, child and young person. This year the theme is Healthy Parent, Healthy Baby so we’re focussing on free and low-cost events, taster activities, wellbeing and health talks and sessions and reducing barriers and inequalities.

Stoptober began on 1 October 2025 but there’s never been a better time to quit!

Stoptober is back, and the campaign is calling on England’s smokers to join millions of others who have quit successfully.

Over 5 million adults in England still smoke. Smoking causes 75,000 deaths a year, making it the biggest cause of preventable illness and death. Quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health. The good news is, if you quit smoking for 28 days, you’re five times more likely to quit for good.

That’s why this year’s Stoptober campaign is encouraging smokers to quitting this October by exploring the free support available. We want aspiring quitters to know that we have their back and by taking part in Stoptober, they are more likely to succeed.

For information and support to help you quit go to: https://leedsstopsmoking.co.uk/
