Good Relations Week 2026, taking place from 12th to 18th October, embraces ‘Include’ as its theme, recognising that stronger communities are built when everyone feels welcomed, valued and respected.
This year’s campaign highlights the importance of inclusion, understanding and connection across all backgrounds, cultures and communities.
By showcasing the creativity, dedication and impact of local groups, organisations and individuals, we can highlight the positive work taking place to address challenges such as division, racism, inequality, isolation, health and wellbeing, poverty and education.
Get involved in Good Relations Week 2026 and help create a future where everyone feels they belong.
The launch of Good Relations Week 2026.

Watch it back
We ran a session on how to take part — what counts as an event, how the programme works, and a walkthrough of registering one. If you could not make it, the whole thing is recorded.
It runs 51 minutes. If you only want the practical part, the registration walkthrough is towards the end.
