Odd Socks Day isn't just for schools and children. Anyone can take part at home, in school, in the community or at work. For Odd Socks Day 2024 we created a FREE Workplace Pack that contains everything you needed to make it happen in your workplace!
Each year, millions of people don their odd socks to raise awareness of bullying across the UK! 100s of workplaces take part along with some incredible celebrities including Ant and Dec, Emma Willis, Victoria Beckham, Craig David, Annemarie and Sir Mo Farah.
Odd Socks Day 2024 took place on Tuesday 12th November.
