Odd Socks Day, 10th November

To celebrate the start of Anti-Bullying Week, Odd Socks Day is held in many schools, and even in some workplaces! It’s all about celebrating what makes someone unique, showing how we are all different, and that acceptance is key!

Thousands of kids and adults will be wearing odd socks this week and there's a really good reason why!
