It's fun, it's physical and it's in a great cause. As part of the 'Move to Improve' campaign, this year people around the world are being asked to send in pictures of people waving for World Arthritis Day (WAD) on the 12th October 2012. World Arthritis Day was established in 1996 by Arthritis and Rheumatism International (ARI) and is celebrated each year on 12th October, although this is a year round campaign.
In a year when we know what it is to be 'truly British', National Baking Week 2012 is taking over from the 15th - 21st October with a celebration of what makes our nation great. To mark the event, a map of the UK made entirely of cake will be created and housed at prestigious shopping and leisure destination Westfield Stratford City.
This year Jeans for Genes takes place on Friday 5th October 2012. A beautifully simple idea, the Day invites people to leave their suits and uniforms at home and wear their jeans to work or school in return for a donation. Jeans for Genes Day provides vital care and support for children with genetic disorders. This year 23 charities will benefit from funds raised on Jeans for Genes Day.
The United Nations has designated the first Monday of October every year as World Habitat Day. This year, World Habitat Day will be celebrated on 1st October 2012. The idea is to reflect on the state of our towns and cities and the basic right of all, to adequate shelter. It is also intended to remind the world of its collective responsibility for the future of the human habitat.
Competition now closed. Congratulation to Alison Turner (Buckinghamshire).
