Make your content king in 2024 👑
Wondering how to keep your audience engaged and informed? Look no further! Awareness Days offer a fantastic opportunity to connect with your audience and share your organisation’s story and values. At Brevio, we understand how it can be hard to find the time to plan a content calendar alongside all the other important items on the to-do list. That’s why we’ve created this resource for you, the ultimate calendar of 2024 awareness days, providing you with a treasure trove of content ideas to plan your year ahead.
We recommend picking a couple of ideas each month that align with your organisation, and then it’s important to do a bit of homework on your choices. You should understand and be comfortable with the origins and the organisations behind the days before aligning your charity or non-profit with them. Our comprehensive list also includes the full Diversity, Equality and Inclusion calendar, empowering you to champion critical issues within our sector.
Please note that some dates may change, or new ones may be announced throughout the year. We’ll continue to add to the list as we become aware of any new dates. Therefore, always double-check to ensure the dates are correct before confirming your content plans. We’ve linked to the organisations behind these special days whenever possible, offering you access to potential resources and promotional tools that could enhance your outreach efforts.
There might be some important days that we’ve missed; if you come across an awareness day that should be included, please let us know by emailing [email protected] and we’ll add it to the list.
Happy content planning, and here’s to making your charitable endeavours resonate even louder in 2024!
