Shine a Light @Home!
Raising awareness can start right at home – light up your house or garden purple and join the wave of support across Australia. It’s simple, fun and a great way to spark conversations in your local community.
Here are a few easy ideas to get glowing:
• Hang purple fairy lights in your garden
• Switch your porch bulb to a purple globe or set your smart globe to purple
• Add a splash of purple décor to your front yard or balcony
And don’t forget: snap a photo and tag us on social media so we can share the glow far and wide!
Walk the Purple Trail
Why not make a night of it? Grab your local IBD support group, friends or loved ones and head out for a wander around your city to spot the purple landmarks lighting up for World IBD Day. It’s a great excuse to get together, take some photos, share a laugh and mark this meaningful day side by side. Every snap you share helps spread awareness – and every moment together reminds our community just how strong and connected we are.
