Now in its third year, the annual celebration of childhood and children’s rights takes place on 15 May, with the theme ‘mindful, heartful childhood’.
Organised by the Save Childhood Movement, which launched the inaugural UK event in 2014, the aim is for as many people as possible to create events and activities that highlight and celebrate children’s rights.
Wendy Ellyatt, chief executive of the Save Childhood Movement, said, ‘National Children’s Day UK is all about celebrating the rights and freedoms of childhood – but children need the company of loving and attentive adults who have the time and energy to share their worlds. ‘Parents and teachers need more support and we hope that this year’s NCDUK will help to raise awareness about the importance of adult wellbeing, the impact of social inequality and the need to achieve a healthy work/life balance.’
