Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

The Samaritans’ message is simple and actionable: if you think someone might be suicidal, you can help by interrupting their thoughts and show them you care.

“60% said their suicidal thoughts had been interrupted by someone close to them, like a friend or family member.

14% said their suicidal thoughts had been interrupted by a stranger or someone they didn’t know.”
Source: Samaritans Ireland

The takeaway here isn’t just “be aware.” It’s whether your managers actually feel equipped to notice and act, and whether your culture makes it safe for someone to say something in the first place.

Today is Emergency Services Day (also known as 999 Day) a day to honour the brave men and women of the UK’s National Health Service and Emergency Services.

This day celebrates the contributions of police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and other emergency responders. These heroes often risk their lives to keep the public safe. It’s a day filled with activities and educational events, highlighting the crucial work these professionals do daily.

The celebration focuses on educating the public about the responsible use of emergency services. It promotes essential life-saving skills, encouraging people to learn first aid and emergency response techniques. This knowledge can make communities safer, as more individuals are equipped to handle emergencies before professionals arrive.

The day also highlights the many career and volunteering opportunities across the emergency services in positions such as Special Constables and NHS Community, inspiring people to consider these vital roles.

Today is International Day of Charity which affirms the indispensable role of compassion in addressing poverty and human suffering and is observed annually to raise awareness of charity work around the world.

By encouraging service and giving, it advances the Sustainable Development Goals—from ending poverty (SDG 1) and improving well-being (SDG 3) to building partnerships (SDG 17) all related to Social Value.

Declared by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012, the International Day of Charity is an opportunity to support charitable works. It’s also an opportunity for charities and volunteers to raise awareness of the work they are doing. From large to small charities, this is a day to mark achievements and call for further support in making the world a better place.

There is a significant reason that the 5th September was chosen as the date for World Charity Day, and this is to commemorate the anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Mother Teresa received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for her work fighting to overcome poverty and distress, and this event was designated to recognise her selfless and important efforts.

Today is National Food Bank Day 2026.

The Trussell Network, the network formerly known as the Trussell Trust operates from 1,556 locations (or roughly 1,671 distribution centres ) in the UK. There are at least 1,172 independent food banks operating outside of the Trussell network.

Estimates from groups like the House of Commons Library and recent charity reports place the total number of emergency food providers and independent sites at roughly 2,700 to over 3,000 nationwide.

Around 4% of individuals in the UK (roughly 2.7 million households) living in a household use a food bank over a 12-month period. The reasons range from illness to job loss and a general change in circumstances - circumstances that can happen to anyone of us.

No one should have to choose between heating and eating. Every donation, every volunteer, and every act of kindness helps put food on a local family's table.

Hunger may be as close as your neighbour or your co-worker at the next desk.. Bare cupboards and empty stomachs look just like yours and mine behind closed doors.

For parents struggling to make ends meet, the ability to look their children in their eyes over a meal instead of into hungry eyes is a difference made by supporting food banks. Food banks fill the gap for those living on a meagre budget. Many food banks offer educational opportunities that help people change their situation and begin anew. Often, those who have benefited from the programs return to volunteer and contribute to the very food bank that staved off hunger to do the same for others.

How can we all help: by helping a neighbour, a friend, coworker or a child by making a food donation. Volunteer at your local food bank. Food banks take nonperishable food items and cash donations every day. Check their needs list for the fresh items they are seeking.

Today is Red Ensign Day, officially known as Merchant Navy Day, and is celebrated annually on 3rd September to honour the brave men and women of the Merchant Navy and remember the sacrifices of the merchant seafarers who kept supply lines open during both World Wars.

The Red Ensign (affectionately called the “Red Duster”) is the official flag of the UK Merchant Navy and is raised on many public buildings, local council offices and landmark sites across the country.

The 3rd September was selected as, on that day in 1939, the liner SS Athenia, was torpedoed by the German submarine U 30. SS Athenia had set sail from Glasgow on 1st September bound for Montreal with 1,400 passengers and crew aboard. The attack took place off the coast of Ireland, just hours after Great Britain had declared war on Germany and resulted in the deaths of 117 passengers and crew. They were the first casualties of the Second World War.

Merchant seafarers have long played a crucial role in keeping the UK supplied. Their courage and dedication have kept vital supply routes operating through global conflicts, including both world wars, and during more recent emergencies such as the Covid-19 pandemic, Strait of Hormuz crisis, and the war in Ukraine.

Their role remains just as important today. Around 95% of the UK’s traded goods are transported by sea, making merchant seafarers a fundamental part of the nation’s economy and everyday life.

Merchant Navy Day provides an opportunity to pause, remember their contribution and show our appreciation for the seafarers and families who support them.

*** PM announces £442m rough sleeping drive ***

In case you missed this story, a couple of weeks ago the Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced a £442m package to tackle rough sleeping and to help local authorities provide rough sleepers with a route off the streets by Christmas.

Areas facing the greatest pressures will receive the largest share of funding, with councils and mayors playing a leading role in shaping local action, the PM said.

The funding will help local areas deliver more than 1,000 settled homes over the next three years, alongside wraparound support to help people rebuild their lives.

As a passionate supporter of veterans, I applaud this initiative since many rough sleepers are those who have served our country.

*** Volunteering rates increase but still failing to meet pre-pandemic levels ***

Volunteering has always been a popular commitment in CSR and Social Value commitments.

However, the latest Community and Engagement Survey showed that 18% of adults reported partaking in formal volunteering, “giving unpaid help to groups or clubs”, every month in 2025-26 compared to 2024-25’s figure of 17%.

Despite being a one percentage point increase on 2024-25’s stats, regular volunteering rates have failed to fully recover since the last pre-pandemic year in 2019-20, when the rate was 23%.

Some 31% of adults took part in less regular formal volunteering (at least once in the last twelve months) in 2025-26, a 3% increase on 2024-25’s figure, but also still below pre-pandemic levels, when 37% did so.

*** Government orders that public spending must back British jobs and skills in every postcode ***

This week the Government announced that public spending must back British jobs and support local communities with new weighting in public contracts.

Organisations will now be assessed on how they help local people develop new skills and support young people into apprenticeships or work placements.

Other areas businesses had to prove they were acting on will be scrapped, making it easier for smaller firms to bid for contracts.

Businesses bidding for government contracts - a market worth £90bn per year - will be judged on their commitment to creating high-quality British jobs, tackling local skills shortages, and supporting young people into apprenticeships and work placements.

The Government wants every young person to have the chance to earn or learn. New rules will double the importance of creating local benefits when the government buys goods or services - ensuring spending directly creates training, work experience, and jobs in every postcode.

First Secretary of State Louise Haigh said:

Every pound of taxpayer money should be spent in a way that benefits local communities - creating good jobs and giving young people the skills they need for the future.

For too long, securing government contracts has been a tick box exercise that fails to deliver the positive change that people feel in their pocket and see in the places they live.

We are doing things differently. These new rules will ensure the £90 billion that is spent each year through government contracts supports British jobs, skills and people in every postcode.
