There are only a few hours to go until World Encephalitis Day! 

When the clock hits 12am wherever you may be in the world, we want you to help us go #Red4WED by wearing red, sharing your photographs on social media, and telling friends and family why it is important they know about encephalitis.

For everyone at the Encephalitis Society and beyond, this is the part we enjoy the most as we get to see faces familiar and new to us helping to raise awareness.

When sharing your photographs:

1. Use the hashtags #WorldEncephalitisDay and #Red4WED - that way we and others can see them.

2. Add the link www.worldencephalitisday.org so people can find out more about the campaign and encephalitis.

If you don't have anything red to wear, we also have some assets which can be downloaded and shared instead:

Social Media

Posters

We also have some posters for anyone who wants to download them and put them on their wall at work or school.

Photographers needed

We are delighted to say that over 70 landmarks will be lighting up red for World Encephalitis Day!

We need people to take photographs and share them with us and on social media.

If you live nearby to any of the landmarks - and would not be in breach of any COVID-19 restrictions in your local area - please can take some photographs for us to celebrate World Encephalitis Day and share them onto social media or email them to us. Thank you!
