Number Day is an annual fundraising event orchestrated by the N.S.P.C.C., observed on the first Friday of February—this year falling on February 2. With a history spanning nearly two centuries, the N.S.P.C.C. has been at the forefront of combating child abuse in the U.K. through proactive measures, informative campaigns, and a dedicated network of volunteers. This day not only serves as a fundraiser but also pays tribute to the resilience and commitment of the N.S.P.C.C. members and staff. Across the country, various events and gatherings bring people together to raise awareness and funds in the ongoing battle against the societal menace of child abuse.
