Established by the UN in 1954 to promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide, and improving children’s welfare. Go back to your own childhood by thanking a teacher or celebrate children with quotes or raising awareness of the plight of many who are unfortunate.

21st – World Hello Day
It represents the idea that conflicts can be solved with communication rather than force.  Use it as a chance to communicate with clients and followers, maybe pick up the phone to say hello to some whilst using social to spread the message of peace!

24th – Thanksgiving (US) 
A US holiday that started giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest from the preceding year. A chance to thank customers and supporters both publicly and privately.  It’s also a chance to help others an enhance your brand image at the same time. Engage in a visible community improvement project or sponsor an event that helps those in need.

26th – Black Friday
A day for big sales that started in the US and seems to have spread to the UK and extended for the weekend. People will be looking for bargains, so you can go with it or be part of the anti-movement. Bargain hunters tend to stay away from the high street, preferring to shop for offers online, with sales over the entire weekend expected to top £5.76billion.
