Red4Research 2025 - Friday 20th June 2025
#Red4Research Day on Friday 20th June 2025 aims to get as many people as possible wearing red to demonstrate their support and appreciation for all those participating, undertaking and supporting research. It is an opportunity to showcase and celebrate the phenomenal work, learning legacy and innovative treatments/systems/techniques that have arisen from research and development.
What is involved?
The #Red4Research concept is very simple. Wear something red, it can be any item of clothing, then download/print or make a placard saying #Red4Research, take a photo and post it on social media with the #Red4Research hashtag.
It’s all about positivity, creativity and support in the face of adversity. #Red4Research is completely inclusive – anyone, any age, anywhere can participate – children, adults, even pets! Hopefully people might have a bit of fun along the way raising the profile and work of all those involved in the process. Find out more and download free Red4Research resources here:

Red4Research (annually)
The wear #Red4Research campaign takes place each year. People across the country, including staff in the Clinical Research & Innovation Office wore something red to demonstrate their support and appreciation for all those participating, undertaking and supporting health and care research.
#Red4Research day started in 2020 and recognised the contributions everyone made to COVID19 research. As a result of COVID19, the Research & Development communities adapted quickly and achieved a huge amount as a result of being more flexible and innovative. #Red4Research day continues to be celebrated to showcase the ongoing work and learnings that arose from this unprecedented time.
