Wear Your SCARF Day
Our annual Wear Your SCARF Day takes place during Children’s Mental Health Week. We welcome you to join us for the next one on Friday 7 February 2025! On this special day, we celebrate our SCARF values that promote children’s health and wellbeing. Wear Your SCARF Day invites everyone to wear a scarf as a symbol of support for children’s wellbeing.
Show us how you're celebrating by sharing a picture of you in a scarf or share what activities you participated in at school or work. We provide schools with a range of free resources and activities that can be used during Children’s Mental Health Week and all year round.
We'd love to share pictures of you celebrating Wear Your SCARF Day! You can get involved by tagging us on social media - X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn or BlueSky— and using the hashtags #WearYourScarfDay #SCARF. Please ensure that photographs or films you send follow the children's parent/carer consent agreements.
SCARF represents our values for children of Safety, Caring, Achievement, Resilience and Friendship. What does your SCARF mean to you?
S - SAFETY
Some scarves are warm and comforting, helping to keep someone snug and safe in very cold weather.
C - CARING
Some scarves might have been a present from a special person, they'll help make someone feel cared for. Wearing a scarf as part of religious faith can also help someone to feel cared for.
A - ACHIEVEMENT
Making your own scarf can be a rewarding achievement that showcases your creativity and knitting/crocheting skills.
R - RESILIENCE
Some scarves represent clubs, like sports teams, and are waved in celebration when a goal is scored - what an achievement! They also remind us that we can support our teams through tough times, showing resilience and bouncing back from defeat or disappointment.
F - FRIENDSHIP
Some scarves might be gifts from friends, making them even more special.
