Wear Pink or Purple. Show Your Support. Change a Family’s Story.
On Friday 16th October, we’re inviting schools, businesses, community groups and individuals across the UK to take part in Wear Pink / Purple Day in support of Amelia’s Light.
Taking part is simple. Wear something pink, purple, or both, and make a small donation to help families facing the unimaginable reality of having a seriously ill child in hospital.
Every pound raised helps Amelia’s Light work towards providing emergency financial support, emotional guidance and practical help to families when they need it most.
Why Pink and Purple?
Pink and purple represent compassion, hope, strength and kindness. By wearing these colours together, you’re helping shine a light on families who are often going through the hardest days of their lives.
Whether you’re wearing a pink tie, purple hoodie, colourful trainers or going all out with your colleagues or classmates, every participant helps spread awareness.
