#Red4WED

Every year we ask our supporters to wear something red on World Encephalitis Day and then share their photos on social media accounts, telling their followers and friends about why they are wearing red.

Wearing something red for our supporters could mean anything - from a red bow tie through to a red hat, red nails, red trousers or even our official World Encephalitis Day t-shirts.

If you want to take part on World Encephalitis Day, please make sure to use the hashtag #Red4WED on Twitter and Instagram so we can share it to our official World Encephalitis Day website.

We also have resources which can be downloaded for either social media or as posters.
