Odd Socks Day in your workplace

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 2025 we will create a Workplace Pack that contains everything you will need to make it happen in your workplace. Watch this space!

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 2025 is taking place on Monday 10th November.

Here’s what you could do for 2025:

  1. Ask your company to wear odd socks to work (even if it’s working from home!)
  2. Donate £1 to help the Anti-Bullying Alliance carry on our important work
  3. We love to see what you’re doing! Share with us on social media your videos, artwork and messages. Use the hashtag #AntiBullyingWeek, #OddSocksDay and tag us on Twitter (X) via @ABAonline, Instagram via @antibullyingalliance, Facebook via @antibullyingalliance, Linkedin via Anti-Bullying Alliance, TikTok via AntiBullyingAlliance, and Bluesky via @anti-bullyingalliance.org.uk.
