Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month kicks off next month and runs throughout October! Get involved – order some of our free promotional items and share them at your school, workplace or family/friend event.
New Possibilities
Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month is an opportunity for individuals and families as well as Haemophilia Foundations and other organisations to take part in a campaign and activities to raise awareness about bleeding disorders. This year’s theme is ‘New Possibilities’.
What’s on for the month?
Throughout the month we’ll share personal stories, fast facts and bust some myths about bleeding disorders. There will also be activities and giveaways for kids such as little red cars and nail stickers, colouring in sheets and word finds, plus events across the country, information sessions, competitions, and more.
The last week of October will be Red Week. During the week organise an activity with your family or friends around something red – wear red to school, bake red cupcakes, red hair day – the ideas are endless!
