SHINE BRIGHT WEAR BRIGHT 2026

‘Shine Bright Wear Bright’ to support Children’s Mental Health Week

This Children’s Mental Health week we’re asking you to Shine Bright Wear Bright on Friday 13th February 2026. This is a chance for every child in your school to express themselves by shining bright for the day.

A Shine Bright Wear Bright Mufti Day is the perfect way for your school to take part in Children’s Mental Health week.

Your pupils can wear their favourite colour or outfit to express how they are feeling, it can be as simple or elaborate as they like. Shine Bright Wear Bright is an opportunity for your whole School to show

self-expression and celebrating a diverse range of emotions. The day also provides a chance for everyone to be open about Mental Health and start raising positive awareness within your community all for a minimum suggested donation of £1 to CHUMS.
