**Social change agency ChangeStar has published its ‘What’s on in the Charity World
2016’ diary of key events and dates for the UK voluntary sector.**

The calendar, now in its second year of publication, features charity and health
awareness days and fundraising events for 2016 from a wide variety of sources.

Kate Wright, Account Director at ChangeStar, said:

> “The idea came from my own online search for a good UK calendar of charity events.
> When I searched ‘charity calendar’ on Google I just saw a multitude of photos 
> of bare bottoms and strategically placed fruit bowls which wasn’t quite what I
> was after! Other ‘Awareness Day’ websites are also more focused on the United 
> States.”

The direct marketing specialists that “help good causes connect with people to do
good things” see the calendar as a useful planning tool for charities and companies,
and hope that it will also publicise fundraising events to potential participants.

It’s hoped that the calendar will also help publicise fundraising events to potential
participants.

The calendar is presented in list form on a single page. The busiest month of the
year is June with 24 dates listed.

## New for 2016

This year’s calendar includes online links for all events. Marathons, festivals 
such as Glastonbury and Pride, events for charity professionals, telethons such 
as Children in Need and awareness campaigns for charities large and small are all
covered.
