Purple Mufti Day
Every year, Thyroid UK runs a “Purple Mufti Day” (also known as a non-uniform day or dress-down day). We ask people to donate £1 to Thyroid UK and wear something purple on the last day of Thyroid Awareness Week UK. You can wear purple tops, trousers, dresses, socks or shoes etc. To really stand out you could wear a purple hat or fascinator! Purple nails will really finish the outfit off! Please do ask your bosses and workmates to join us in this event. You never know, they may need us one day!
If you would like to hold a Purple Mufti Day, please display our poster at your place of work, collect the £1’s and send us a cheque or pay it directly into our bank (see details below). You can take selfies and post them onto your Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages and then share them with all your friends and family to spread the word! Make sure you mention Thyroid UK and we can then share them too!
Of course, you don’t have to wait for Thyroid Awareness Week UK to hold a Purple Mufti Day – you can hold one whenever you wish.
