The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has launched its annual tick awareness campaign for 2026. The campaign runs throughout the spring and summer months when ticks are most active and more of us spend time outdoors.

The campaign aims to increase awareness of where ticks are found and how to remove them safely and quickly, as some tick bites can result in infections such as Lyme disease.

To support stakeholders promote tick awareness this year, the UKHSA has updated its campaign communications toolkit. It contains background information, key messages of the campaign, key behaviours for the public to follow, social media materials, suggested social media copy and links to useful information.

If you have any questions about the campaign or would like to collaborate on any communications regarding tick awareness, please get in touch with externalaffairs@ukhsa.gov.uk.
