Shine a light on NF May 2026
01 March 2026
17 May 2026, World NF Awareness Day
We were delighted to join the global 'Shine A Light on NF' campaign, our 11th year of collaborating with CTF to raise awareness.
This year, we had a record-breaking 230 buildings and landmarks lit up in blue around the UK and Ireland.
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+ adults & children diagnosed with NF in the UK.
