Get ready for Wear a Hat Day

Wear A Hat Day 2021 takes place this year on Friday 26 March 2021

Launched by UK charity Brain Tumour Research over ten years ago, Wear a Hat Day has become one of the UK’s most celebrated brain tumour awareness and research fundraising events. Marking the finale of Brain Tumour Awareness Month each year, the event has raised over £2m for vital ‘discovery’ research at the charity’s Centres of Excellence, as well as supporting their tireless campaigning efforts, influencing UK governments and larger cancer charities to invest more in national research into this devastating disease.

Despite the challenges of COVID-19, Wear A Hat Day 2021 is perfectly timed this year to become a huge event, bringing hope and inspiring the nation like never before.

NlJ is proud to support Brain Tumour Research by taking part in Wear A Hat Day this year, and invites its readers to do the same. It’s fun and easy to get involved, and provides a positive distraction from the lockdown and pandemic. To register, visit www.wearahatday.org
