Shine A Light on NF May 2025

20 May 2025

17 May 2025, World NF Awareness Day

We were delighted to join CTF in the global 'Shine A Light on NF' campaign, our 10th year of collaborating to raise awareness.

Around the UK and Republic of Ireland, we had 176 buildings and landmarks lit up in blue.

We would like to thank the owners and managers of all the landmarks and buildings that took part in the campaign, helping us to raise awareness and support the 26, 500 diagnosed with NF in the UK.

Councillor Nicholas Trimble, Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council. "Raising awareness of Neurofibromatosis is key, not just today but every day, for those living with the condition, and for their families.

It's important that they feel seen, heard and supported by their community. We stand with them and encourage everyone to take a moment to learn more and show compassion."
