Shine a Light on NF May 2026
19 May 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 for the 26,500+ adults & children diagnosed with NF in the UK.

We would also like to thank all members of the NF Community who helped with the awareness-raising campaign, arranged for buildings to be lit up, lit up their own homes or went out on the streets in their NTUK T-shirts or with the Shine a Light on NF poster and took photos of the lit up buildings.
Around 400 buildings lit up around the world, with the following countries taking part: Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Singapore, Slovakia, South Korea and USA.
