​.PLEASE MARK THE DATE IN YOUR CALENDARS AND START YOUR PLANNING NOW! Especially if your spread is national and you're keen to encourage as many people as possible to participate. For NCDUK2021 we will be particularly looking at the impact of COVID on child health and wellbeing and the great people and organisations that are trying to respond to this. In partnership with www.thechildrensvoice.net we will also actively be sharing the thoughts and voices of children and young people themselves. 

National Children's Day UK is all about the importance of a healthy childhood, and how we need to protect the rights and freedoms of children in order to ensure that they can grow into happy, healthy adults. It's a day of celebration, but it's also a great opportunity for councils, local services, community groups, hospitals, sports clubs, schools, charities, families, carers - anyone involved with children - to raise awareness about projects they are running or things they care about.

A huge thank you to the Cosy Fund for sponsoring NCDUK2020!
