This week, we’re monkeying around to raise awareness of MACS, the conditions we support, and the thousands of people and families who are part of the MACS community.
From 21st – 27th September, it’s MACS Awareness Week, and this year we’re putting our mascot, Macs the Monkey, front and centre! Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing information about Microphthalmia, Anophthalmia and Coloboma, alongside stories, photos, facts and activities from our wonderful community.
But Awareness Week isn’t just about learning more about the conditions. It’s about celebrating the people and families who make up MACS and helping more people understand the experiences, challenges and achievements of our community.
Help us spread the word
There are lots of ways you can get involved during MACS Awareness Week. You can follow us on social media, share our posts with your friends and family, download our awareness materials, or simply start a conversation about MACS and the conditions we support.
Get involved with MACS Awareness Week
We’ve put together a range of resources to make it easy for you to get involved and help spread the word.
On this page, you’ll find buttons taking you to:
Whether you’re a MACS member, family member, school, supporter or simply someone who wants to help, there’s something you can do to make a difference.
Every share, conversation and bit of awareness helps us reach more people who may not have heard of MACS before.
So, let’s get monkeying around!
