| Dry January | All month | Alcohol is a part of many of our lives. We use it for celebration, for comfort, to socialise, to wind down, to cope. We treat it differently to other drugs; it’s legal, socially acceptable, even encouraged. Yet in the UK one person every hour dies as a result of alcohol. Alcohol harm – mental health problems, liver disease, one of seven forms of cancer, economic difficulties, and so much more – can affect any one of us, from any walk of life. |
| World Braille Day | 4 January | World Braille Day gives the chance to celebrate the transformative impact of the Braille system on the lives of people who are blind. |
| Cervical Cancer Prevention Week | 21 - 28 January | Do you know how cervical cancer can be prevented? During Cervical Cancer Prevention Week we want as many people as possible to know how they can reduce their risk of the disease and to educate others. |
