World Cancer Day 4 February 2026
Alcohol Awareness Week is a UK-wide campaign that takes place every November. It aims to get people thinking about alcohol – how it affects us as individuals, families, and communities – and to support those wanting to make a change.

It unites individuals, communities, organisations and governments around a shared mission: reducing the global impact of cancer.
Led by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), the campaign highlights the importance of accurate health information, early diagnosis, equitable access to care, and support for people affected by cancer and their families. Every story is unique — and every voice counts in the effort to improve cancer outcomes worldwide.
Cancer remains a major cause of illness and death. World Cancer Day motivates us to act on what we know: many cancers can be prevented through lifestyle choices, early detection can save lives, and quality care leads to better outcomes. By increasing awareness, dispelling myths, and encouraging action, we can help reduce suffering and improve quality of life for millions of people. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
World Cancer Day is not just one day on the calendar — it’s a reminder that collective action and informed choices can make a difference. Whether through conversation, support, or behaviour change, your involvement helps shape a future with better outcomes for all. :
