June awareness days 2025 to inspire your social media content
June awareness days contain a whole collection of funny and informative awareness days from hugging your cat and taking your dog to work to environmentally focused dates such as World Ocean Day and World Refill Day.
I’d recommend sprinkling these days throughout your social media feeds to share a funny/interesting/thought provoking post to connect with your ideal customers around a shared interest.
Select a few days that mean something to you, that help you to tell a business story or feel right for supporting how you market your product or service.
I’ve highlighted a few of my favourites June special awareness days, and listed the rest of these special days below. Most of them are UK based but there are few fun US and Worldwide dates dropped in there too where I think there may be social media content opportunities for my community.
Tap on each of the events below and they will take you directly to the organiser’s page or to more info.
*If I’ve missed any key dates, I apologise, this is no easy job and I’m providing this to you for free.
*Please check all dates before using them in your marketing. It is your responsibility to check the accuracy of the information. I’m just sharing my own research to make life easier for you.
*Lastly please do bring any dates I have missed to my attention and I can add them in for others to view.
