Wear A Hat Day 2025: Bringing hope, one hat at a time

Every year in March, the UK unites under an inspiring banner for Wear A Hat Day, a flagship awareness and fundraising campaign from Brain Tumour Research. Taking place during National Brain Tumour Awareness Month, this vibrant event returns on Friday, 28th March 2025, with the heartfelt theme: "Bringing Hope, One Hat at a Time."

What is Wear A Hat Day?

Wear A Hat Day is a fun and impactful initiative that invites individuals, schools, businesses, and communities across the UK to wear their favourite hats while raising crucial funds for brain tumour research. With thousands of people donning all sorts of creative headwear, this event raises awareness of the urgent need for improved treatments and increased funding for one of the deadliest forms of cancer.

This year, more than ever, Wear A Hat Day encourages participants to unite in hope and solidarity. It reminds us that small actions can have profound impacts when joined together in purpose.

The 2025 theme - Bringing hope, one hat at a time

The 2025 theme, "Bringing Hope, One Hat at a Time," beautifully captures the essence of collective strength. Each hat worn symbolises solidarity with those affected by brain tumours, and each fundraiser becomes a beacon of hope. Together, they contribute to a larger vision: a future where those diagnosed with brain tumours can look forward to better outcomes and longer lives.

By putting on a hat, we are not only making a fashion statement but a stand for hope, progress, and a cure.

Why brain tumour research matters

• Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40 in the UK.
• Despite this, just 1% of the national spending on cancer research is allocated to brain tumour research.
• More than 16,000 people each year are diagnosed with a brain tumour in the UK.
• Brain Tumour Research aims to fund a network of seven sustainable research centres to accelerate progress and find a cure.

Brain Tumour Research continues to campaign for increased funding and awareness, with events like Wear A Hat Day as vital national engagement and fundraising catalysts.

How can you get involved?

Participating in Wear A Hat Day is easy, meaningful, and fun:

• Share your photos on social media using the hashtag #WearAHatDay and tag @BrainTumourResearch.
