Diabetes Education and Prevention is the World Diabetes Day theme for the period 2009-2013. The campaign calls on all those responsible for diabetes care to understand diabetes and take control. For people with diabetes, this is a message about empowerment through education.For governments, it is a call to implement effective strategies and policies for the prevention and management of diabetes to safeguard the health of their citizens with and at risk of diabetes. For healthcare professionals, it is a call to improve knowledge so that evidence-based recommendations are put into practice. For the general public, it is a call to understand the serious impact of diabetes and know, where possible, how to avoid or delay diabetes and its complications. The key messages of the campaign are:
•    Know the diabetes risks and know the warning signs
•    Know how to respond to diabetes and who to turn to
•    Know how to manage diabetes and take control

The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month marks the signing of the Armistice, on 11th November 1918, to signal the end of World War One.
At 11 am on 11 November 1918 the guns of the Western Front fell silent after more than four years continuous warfare.
Remembrance Day is on 11 November. It is a special day set aside to remember all those men and women who were killed during the two World Wars and other conflicts. At one time the day was known as Armistice Day and was renamed Remembrance Day after the Second World War.
It is one of the best known and supported campaigns in the calendar and each year the nation shows its support for the Legion’s work by giving generously to the Poppy Appeal.

The 2011 Poppy Appeal will launch in late October and we hope to raise more than our 2010 total of £36 million! Please give generously.

Aiming to raise awareness about adoption and recruit adoptive families for the 4,000 children who are currently in care waiting to be adopted.
Since its launch in 1997, National Adoption Week has gone from strength to strength, reaching people across the UK wanting to know if they can adopt.
The theme of the 2011 campaign was every child deserves a family. During the campaign we encourage people to come forward to adopt the children who wait the longest – older children, children with disabilities, brothers and sisters, and children from some black and minority ethnic backgrounds.
National Adoption Week is so important in reminding people about the backgrounds of the children waiting for adoption and the difference adoption can make to a child’s life. We know from existing adoptive families that it can be hard work, but the rewards are huge. This is a chance to transform a child’s life for ever.

Physical activity is good for your body and boosting your mood, which is why the new theme is ‘MOVE TO IMPROVE‘.  Being physically active is especially important for people with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) – even doing a small amount of extra activity around the home can help.

The UK children’s charity that aims to change the world for children with genetic disorders.
Individually, genetic disorders are rare but together they affect 1 in 25 children born in the UK – that’s more than 30,000 babies each year. Their associated health problems mean that genetic disorders are the biggest killer of children aged 14 years and under.
Jeans for Genes Day is the annual fundraising event and takes place on Friday 7th October 2011. Ask your colleagues at work or the children at school to wear their jeans for the Day and make a donation.
