Clean Beaches Week - 01/07/2025 - 07/07/2025
July 1st-7th is Clean Beaches Week, an entire week to celebrate our beautiful beaches and ensure they stay clean, safe, and lovely for generations to come. Clean Beaches Week combines the spirit of Earth Day with the fun of Independence Day and pumps up the fun for an entire week. July 4 is the most popular beach day of the entire year, but it also results in the most litter on our shores.
Clean Beaches Week is a way to educate beach-goers on proper beach behavior before the big day. Whether you’re a surfer, a sunbather, or just someone who loves the ocean, there are plenty of fun activities you can participate in during this special week.
World Youth Skills Day - 15/07/2025
World Youth Skills Day was established to highlight the strategic importance of equipping young people with the skills needed for employment, decent work, entrepreneurship, and for addressing global challenges and advancing sustainable development. 15th July 2025 marks the 10th anniversary since World Youth Skills Day (WYSD) was first celebrated in 2015.
The theme for WYSD 2025 focuses on Youth empowerment through AI and digital skills. AI is transforming how we live, learn and work — but it also poses serious risks if not implemented equitably. Visit the UNESCO website to find out more about why this matters, the key challenges, and how to participate.
Samaritans Awareness Day – 24/07/2025
Samaritans Awareness Day is on 24 July (24/7) so the organisation is aiming to raise awareness throughout July, to let people know that they can reach out to them, day or night, 24/7. Visit the Samaritans website to get involved.
Every year in July, Samaritans branches in the UK and Ireland hold local events to raise awareness that Samaritans are there to listen to anyone who’s struggling to cope, at any time of the day or night.
Parents' Day - 27/07/2025
In the UK, Parents’ Day in 2025 will be observed on July 27th. This day is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of July each year, providing an opportunity to honor parents and their contributions to family life.
On the Global Day of Parents 2025, the theme “Raising Parents” draws attention to an essential but often underappreciated reality: parenting is a learned skill. Parents and caregivers require time, resources, and support in order to raise children in a nurturing and positive environment. It presents us with the perfect opportunity to recognize everything that parents around the world do.
