Wellbeing Calendar Themes

Plan a Balanced Wellbeing Year Around Four Themes

We’ve grouped every date in the calendar into one of four themes. Picking a few from each theme over the year keeps your programme balanced, so it reaches more of your colleagues than a single campaign a couple of times a year.

15 Dates

Mental Health

From Time to Talk Day in February to World Mental Health Day in October, these dates are your chance to open up conversations and remind people what support is available.

Includes Stress Awareness Month, Mental Health Awareness Week and Loneliness Awareness Week.

28 Dates

Physical Health

Heart health, cancer awareness, diabetes and sleep. These dates are a natural fit for on-site health checks, so colleagues can find out where they stand there and then.

Includes World Hypertension Day, Diabetes Awareness Week, Know Your Numbers Week and World Heart Day.

14 Dates

Inclusion and Community

Pride Month, Black History Month, International Women’s Day and Movember. Good moments to celebrate your people, raise money together and talk about health topics that affect particular groups.

Includes Neurodiversity Celebration Week and International Men’s Day.

6 Dates

Work and Money

National Sickie Day, Learning at Work Week and National Financial Awareness Day. Useful hooks for conversations about absence, development and financial wellbeing.

Includes Employee Appreciation Day, World Day for Safety and Health at Work and Workplace Day of Remembrance.

Using the Calendar

How to Use Our Workplace Wellbeing Calendar

A workplace wellbeing calendar is a lot more than a list of dates. It’s a practical tool that helps you plan, organise and deliver meaningful wellbeing initiatives across your organisation.

1

Pick Your Themes

Choose two or three dates per quarter that fit your people and priorities, rather than trying to cover everything.

2

Map Out Key Dates

Schedule the campaigns that matter most to your team, and link your own initiatives to recognised events like Mental Health Awareness Week or World Health Day.

3

Book Early

Follow the plan-ahead prompts. Training, health checks and flu clinics book up fast around the busiest awareness weeks.

4

Involve Your Teams

Whether it’s workshops or webinars, lining activity up with key dates helps boost participation. Your Wellbeing Champions can help spread the word.
5

Review and Adjust

After each initiative, gather feedback and adjust your approach to make your wellbeing strategy more effective over time.

If you’re not sure what to do, or how to bring these campaigns to life in your organisation, just get in touch. We’ve got lots of staff wellbeing ideas that line up with key dates and make a real difference to your workforce.

Why Our Calendar

The Best Workplace Wellbeing Calendar for 2027

We’ve been producing our calendar for many years, developing it with feedback from our clients. It’s built with wellbeing coordinators like you in mind, and packed with the key dates you and your Wellbeing Champions need to plan your campaigns with ease.

Every Date Confirmed With the Organiser

Unlike many calendars online, we check our dates with the official event organisers rather than guessing or relying on generic events websites, which are often wrong. That's why a few dates show as TBC until they're announced.

Updated Throughout the Year

We update the calendar as new dates are confirmed and send the latest version to our newsletter subscribers, so tick the box on the form to join them. You can also get in touch to request the latest copy.

Got a Date We Should Add?

If there's an event or campaign you'd like to see in our health and wellbeing calendar, let us know. We're always happy to hear suggestions.

A workplace wellbeing calendar sets out the key health and wellbeing awareness dates throughout the year. It lets HR teams and managers line up internal wellbeing initiatives with recognised national and international events, so campaigns have a clear hook and more people take part.

Yes. Our 2027 wellbeing calendar includes all the major UK awareness dates, alongside relevant international events. It’s designed for UK organisations that want to plan wellbeing initiatives around nationally recognised campaigns.

Mental Health Awareness Week 2027 runs from Monday 10 to Sunday 16 May. It’s one of the busiest weeks of the year for mental health training, so book anything you need by February. Our Mental Health First Aid courses are a popular choice.
Blue Monday falls on Monday 18 January 2027, the third Monday in January. Many workplaces now mark it as Brew Monday instead, Samaritans’ campaign to catch up with colleagues over a cuppa. Our Blue Monday workplace guide has plenty of ideas.
World Mental Health Day is on Sunday 10 October 2027. As it falls on a weekend, most workplaces will mark it on Friday 8 or Monday 11 October. Take a look at our World Mental Health Day activities for inspiration.

We only add a date once the official organiser has announced it, rather than guessing or copying generic events websites. Anything marked TBC is still waiting on the organiser. We update this page and the download as dates are confirmed, and send the latest version to our newsletter subscribers.

For anything that involves booking training, health checks or flu clinics, start two to three months ahead. Dates around the big awareness weeks fill up quickly. The plan-ahead prompts in our calendar tell you what to arrange each month.

Not at all. If you get creative, lots of wellbeing initiatives are low-cost or even free. A 2027 wellbeing calendar helps you plan ahead, so you can deliver meaningful activities that suit your budget and resources.

Yes. Many awareness days can be supported with virtual events, online resources and webinars, which help you reach people wherever they work.

Yes, it’s completely free. It’s a seven-page PDF, so you can print it, pin it on a staff noticeboard or share it with your Wellbeing Champions.

Of course. If there’s an awareness day or campaign you think we should include, get in touch and we’ll take a look.
