Join in on Friday 27th March, wear a hat and hold an event to help fund the fight to find a cure for brain tumours.
Wear A Hat Day is one of the UK’s biggest and best-loved brain tumour awareness and fundraising days, bringing people together across the UK as they put on their favourite hats and attend a fundraising event.
Whether it's a trilby, bowler or beanie, by wearing a hat and raising money, you’ll help bring hope to the one in three people who knows someone affected by a brain tumour.
Bake sale to raise money for Wear A Hat Day
Host a bake sale in your workplace, gather friends for a hat-themed quiz or get creative with a hat design competition. Whichever activity you choose, you’ll be making a difference.
Simply register to take part and your dedicated Community Fundraiser will be in touch with all the support you need.
Carol hosting an event
Among those already signed up is Carol Melvin. Her daughter Ria died of a glioblastoma in 2021.
Carol said: “Since losing my daughter Ria at the age of 25, I’ve held a Wear A Hat Day coffee morning at the leisure centre where I work as a swimming instructor. Some of my clients still remember Ria, which feels very special.
“I’m so grateful to all my colleagues who bring in scrummy cakes for our bake sale to boost funds and this year we’ll be having a raffle and there’ll be a jewellery stall with a percentage of profits going to our Fundraising Group, Raising4Ria. During Brain Tumour Awareness Month, putting on a Wear A Hat Day event at work or at home can be a simple way of raising much-needed funds for vital research.”
It couldn’t be easier to join Carol and scores of supporters taking part in Wear A Hat Day. Simply sign up today and we’ll be on hand to help.
