SUMMARY:International Day of Peace
DESCRIPTION:In a world with rising geopolitical tensions and protracted conflicts\, there has never been a better time to remember how the UN General Assembly came together in 1999 to lay out the values needed for a culture of peace. These include: respect for life\, human rights and fundamental freedoms; the promotion of non-violence through education\, dialogue and cooperation; commitment to peaceful settlement of conflicts; and adherence to freedom\, justice\, democracy\, tolerance\, solidarity\, cooperation\, pluralism\, cultural diversity\, dialogue and understanding at all levels of society and among nations. \n\n\n\nThe International Day of Peace has always been a time to lay down weapons and observe ceasefires. But it now must also be a time for people to see each other’s humanity. Our survival as a global community depends on that.

SUMMARY:International Day of Older Persons
DESCRIPTION:On 14 December 1990\, the United Nations General Assembly designated October 1 as the International Day of Older Persons (resolution 45/106). This was preceded by initiatives such as the Vienna International Plan of Action on Ageing\, which was adopted by the 1982 World Assembly on Ageing and endorsed later that year by the UN General Assembly. \n\n\n\nIn 1991\, the General Assembly adopted the United Nations Principles for Older Persons (resolution 46/91). In 2002\, the Second World Assembly on Ageing adopted the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing\, to respond to the opportunities and challenges of population ageing in the 21st century and to promote the development of a society for all ages. \n\n\n\nThe number of older people (defined as those aged 65 years or older) tripled from around 260 million in 1980 to 761 million in 2021. Between 2021 and 2050\, the global share of the older population is projected to increase from less than 10% to around 17%. \n\n\n\nRapid growth in the number of people reaching older ages underscores the significance of promoting health\, preventing\, and treating illnesses throughout the entire course of life. \n\n\n\nIn societies with aging populations\, it becomes imperative to adjust to the increasing number of elderly individuals who possess a diverse range of functional capacities. The capability to carry out essential functions and partake in everyday activities is influenced not solely by an individual’s inherent capacity but also by the social and physical environments in which they reside. Supportive environments play a pivotal role in assisting older individuals to maintain their activity levels and independence as they progress in age. \n\n\n\nChange the Way You Think About Age!

SUMMARY:Liver Cancer Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:Following their mother Marie’s death from breast cancer in 1998\, the Keating family promised to provide the people of Ireland with vital information\, advice and support on the signs and symptoms of cancer and help to prevent cancer or detect it at its earliest stages. The Marie Keating Foundation was established in her memory and with this central ambition in mind. \n\n\n\nThe Foundation’s mission is to make cancer less frightening by enlightening and our aim is to live in a world free from the fear of cancer. \n\n\n\nToday\, the Marie Keating Foundation are one of the leading voices in Ireland for cancer prevention\, awareness and support. We are committed to being there for people diagnosed with cancer\, and their families at every step of this cancer journey\, and our services reflect that. Through our information and support services\,  we reach thousands of people a year\, giving education\, information and advice focused on cancer prevention and early detection\, as well as providing support services and financial assistance to those living with and beyond cancer. \n\n\n\nOur team of 21 and our Board works tirelessly to ensure that the mission and legacy that the Keating Family established 26 years ago is fulfilled\, and everyone in Ireland has access to trusted information on cancer prevention and early detection and that those on a cancer journey have the support they need to come through it. \n\n\n\nOur Core Values

SUMMARY:Breast Cancer Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:This October\, we’re proving that Breast Cancer Isn’t Just Pink \n\n\n\nEach year in Ireland\, 3\,704 people are diagnosed with breast cancer. That’s 3\,704 unique journeys\, thousands of treatment appointments\, countless conversations\, emotions and experiences and even more colours. Every. Single Year. So how could breast cancer be Just Pink? \n\n\n\nThis October\, we are continuing a conversation we started last year\, opening up Breast Cancer Awareness Month to be inclusive of all experiences and diagnosis\, highlighting that it is ok to have good days and bad days\, that no journey is the same and therefore  breast cancer can’t be just one colour.  Like every breast cancer journey\, each breast cancer survivor is unique\, and so\, with the help of our sponsor Roche Products Ireland and partner Fleetwood Paints\, we worked with a select group of women to show how a colour can articulate and represent  the deeply personal\, and unique  experience of being  diagnosed with breast cancer.

SUMMARY:World Sight Day
DESCRIPTION:The second Thursday of October is World Sight Day\, an opportunity to highlight the importance of protecting our eyes and vision\, raise awareness of vision impairment and blindness\, and promote eye and vision care. On 10 October 2024\, WHO/Europe draws specific attention to child eye health. Eye health services should be accessible\, available and affordable for all children. \n\n\n\nWhile uncorrected vision impairment may impact education and social inclusion\, simple solutions such as spectacles can make a world of difference. In May 2024\, WHO launched the global SPECS 2030 initiative to ensure access to quality\, affordable spectacles and related people-centred services for everyone who needs them. \n\n\n\nWorld Sight Day is also an opportunity to debunk myths regarding vision and move towards a world where all children are free from social stigma associated with wearing spectacles or other corrective interventions for their eyes and vision.

SUMMARY:World Hospice and Palliative Care Day
DESCRIPTION:World Hospice and Palliative Care Day is an annual unified day of action to celebrate and support hospice and palliative care around the world. \n\n\n\nWHPCD has been marked every year for the last 20 years. Join us on Saturday 11 October to advocate for better hospice and palliative care services around the world. \n\n\n\nThe theme for 2025 is Achieving the Promise: Universal Access to Palliative Care. This theme builds on last year’s campaign\, where we marked 10 years since the World Health Assembly (WHO’s Governing Body) passed the only stand-alone resolution on palliative care\, calling for all countries to “strengthen palliative care as a component of comprehensive care throughout the life course.” The aim is to achieve this promise.

SUMMARY:World Menopause Day
DESCRIPTION:Menopause affects half the world’s population\, yet the issue remains shrouded in secrecy – including in the workplace. \n\n\n\nIt affects more than one in five members of the global workforce\, yet menopause is often dismissed\, stigmatized and misunderstood\, leaving many women to endure this phase in silence. \n\n\n\nOn this World Menopause Day\, let’s commit to raising our voices to break the silence and strive to build more inclusive and empathetic work environments. \n\n\n\nWhether paid or unpaid\, formal or informal\, women’s labour is a driving force behind the global economy. While symptoms can be managed\, menopause can significantly impact physical and mental health\, well-being and productivity\, making it essential for workplaces to prioritize support for women during this health transition.  \n\n\n\nLeaders\, particularly in male-dominated sectors\, must be educated and prepared to support female employees with empathy\, understanding and flexibility. Supporting women through menopause – which typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 – is not just a matter of equity; it is a necessity for a functioning\, productive and inclusive society. \n\n\n\nMenopause-friendly workplace policies\, such as flexible working hours\, accessible health resources and a comfortable work environment\, are key to addressing the unique challenges women may face. This kind of support benefits not only women workers\, but also their families\, colleagues and communities\, contributing to better workplace morale and societal health. \n\n\n\nWomen’s well-being at all ages is crucial to the social and financial health of society. It’s time to start the conversation.
