Red Lights for International Kawasaki Disease Awareness Day

On Monday 26 January, both landmarks will be illuminated in red to mark International Kawasaki Disease Awareness Day.

Kawasaki Disease is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in the UK. Around 1,000 children are affected each year, with cases continuing to rise. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical, as they can significantly reduce the risk of long-term heart damage.

However, the condition is often misdiagnosed in its early stages, increasing the risk of serious complications. By lighting the buildings red, the Council aims to help raise awareness among parents, carers, and the wider public.
