World Social Work Day 2026

17.03.2026

We’re celebrating World Social Work Day, an annual global event that aims to highlight the achievements of social work, to raise the visibility of social services for the future of societies, and to defend social justice and human rights.

Thank you to all our social workers who, through compassion and partnership, are making a difference to communities and people’s lives in East Ayrshire. They are part of a global network of dedicated professionals, all of whom we are celebrating today.

This year’s theme is ‘Co-Building Hope and Harmony: A Harambee Call to Unite a Divided Society’, which highlights the vital role of social work in bringing people together across communities, cultures and systems.
