EDI Calendar published for 2026

We are pleased to be publishing our EDI Calendar for 2026!

Celebration and awareness days are great opportunities to open and develop important conversations and our calendar is a great way of making most of them with the following tips:

Promote belonging: Bring a sense of belonging to your workplace by highlighting important events and promoting diversity and inclusion; daily reminders increase awareness and makes your colleagues feel more valued and appreciated.

Go beyond celebration: Our calendar is packed with great opportunities to not just increase awareness, but education and understanding too. Don’t miss the opportunity to create guides, webinars fact sheets, campaign materials, podcasts, workshops, and more.

Involve the community: Involve those from the community you’re celebrating. If you’re going to run activity and build awareness for a particular community, give them a voice in the planning stages to make sure what you do resonates.

Less may be more: Treating celebration and awareness occasions as tick box exercises can feel like tokenism, and will often do more harm than good. Consider celebrating fewer events but making your communications more thorough.

Action speaks louder than words: Avoid empty comms by considering what you’re actually communicating. If you’re looking to celebrate a particular community, look at what you’re business is already doing to support them during the rest of the year.

Bring everyone on the journey: Avoid different messages floating around the business in silo. Engage other functions, teams and stakeholders to align messaging and tone.
