From 3 to 7 November 2025, the UK marks Trustees’ Week, an annual celebration of the nearly one million trustees who guide charities and community organisations with integrity and vision. The 2025 theme, “Celebrating the power of good governance” calls on trustees to strengthen governance, accountability, and collaboration in a changing regulatory landscape. For regulated sectors such as health and social care, education, and public services, the parallels are clear: effective oversight, transparent decision-making, and ethical leadership are the foundations of trust. In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon explores how Trustees’ Week 2025 challenges boards to reflect, review, and renew their governance practices - ensuring that compliance and culture evolve together.

World Vegan Day is more than a celebration of plant-based living. It’s a reminder of how ethics, sustainability, and compliance intersect across regulated industries. In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon examines how vegan principles, rooted in compassion and accountability, can enhance governance, ethical sourcing, and environmental responsibility in sectors such as healthcare, social care, education, and manufacturing. She highlights how awareness days like World Vegan Day can drive measurable progress in ESG, supply chain integrity, and workplace inclusion, and how ComplyPlus™ helps organisations turn ethical awareness into everyday compliance and sustainable action.

On 31 October 2025, Halloween returns a celebration rooted in folklore, reflection, and the power of transformation. Beyond costumes and traditions, Halloween offers a timely metaphor for organisational change: shining a light on what’s hidden, confronting fear, and re-imagining culture. For regulated sectors such as health and social care, education, and employment, the season reminds leaders that transparency, trust, and engagement are the real antidotes to compliance “frights.” In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon explores how Halloween’s themes of thresholds, memory, and community connection can inspire culture-building, reflective leadership, and governance systems that turn awareness into accountability through ComplyPlus™.

Every October, the UK celebrates Black History Month, a time to honour the heritage, resilience, and achievements of Black communities across all sectors of society. The 2025 theme, “Standing Firm in Power and Pride”, celebrates cultural identity while calling for continued progress in equality, representation, and justice. For regulated organisations across health and social care, education, and public services, Black History Month is more than remembrance; it’s a compliance imperative. In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon explores how leaders can embed diversity and inclusion into governance, workforce training, and accountability frameworks, ensuring that equality is not just recognised but realised through ComplyPlus™.

On 24 October 2025, the world unites for World Polio Day, led by Rotary International and the World Health Organization (WHO), to reaffirm the global commitment to eradicating polio once and for all. This year’s theme, “End Polio: Every Child, Every Vaccine, Everywhere.” highlights the power of partnership, vaccination, and public health collaboration in safeguarding generations from a preventable disease. For regulated UK sectors such as health and social care, education, and community services, the campaign reinforces the importance of infection prevention, equitable access, and compliance with immunisation frameworks. In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon explores how global health lessons translate into organisational accountability, resilience, and public trust, showing that ending polio begins with collective action and shared responsibility.
