Last year the organisation PEGS organised the first CPA Awareness Day, to promote awareness and understanding of the issues, and to make more people aware that advice and help is available.
This year’s Awareness Day is just around the corner, October 14th being the proposed day, and provides a great opportunity once again to amplify voices and get the word out there.
Depending on where you work – or study – there will be different things that you can do, but here are some ideas that have worked for others:
- Compose a message to go out through the day on social media
- Host a coffee morning at your service
- Invite the local press to cover the issue or to promote your work
- Set up a stall with flyers and other materials – an ideal opportunity to chat to people who may not know anything!
- Arrange for posters to go up in targeted places
- Contact local politicians or commissioners
- Write something for a professional or community newsletter
- And share what you do – so that we can keep the momentum going even longer!
PEGS have a resource pack on their website with free to download posters and other materials if you need help in this way.
