August Wellbeing Focus: Healthy Habits, Active Living, and Prevention
August brings a gentle transition as summer begins to wind down, encouraging us to stay active, support one another and start thinking ahead to seasonal health. It’s a time to maintain healthy routines while preparing for the changes that autumn can bring.
World Breastfeeding Awareness Week – 1st – 7th August
World Breastfeeding Awareness Week highlights the importance of supporting parents and babies through education, understanding and accessible care. Raising awareness helps create more inclusive environments where families feel informed, empowered and supported in their feeding choices.
Cycle to Work Day – 6th August
Cycle to Work Day encourages people to swap their commute for cycling, promoting physical activity, reducing environmental impact and boosting overall wellbeing. Even small changes, like cycling part of the journey, can improve fitness, mood and energy levels.
Preparing for Flu Season – Get Your Flu Jab
As summer draws to a close, August is a good time to start thinking ahead to flu season. Getting your flu jab helps protect not only your own health but also those around you, particularly vulnerable groups. Encouraging early awareness and planning can make it easier to stay well as we move into the colder months.
August reminds us to keep moving, support early life health and take proactive steps to protect our wellbeing, helping us transition smoothly into the next season.
