National Supported Internship Day
27th March 2026
National Supported Internship Day is a national celebration of supported internships in the UK. It was created and launched in 2023 by DFN Project SEARCH.
Held annually on 27th March, the aim of National Supported Internship Day is to raise awareness of supported internships and to overcome the challenges facing our sector.
Landmark Light Up Campaign
As part of National Supported Internship Day, we have invited landmarks, buildings and monuments across the country to take part in our Light Up Campaign by illuminating their buildings in orange. This national show of support helps raise awareness of supported internships and highlights their importance as a pathway into meaningful employment for young people with learning disabilities and/or autism.
Find out which of your local landmarks will be lighting up in orange below:
-
North: North West, North East, Yorkshire and the Humber
-
West Midlands, East Midlands and East of England
-
South East, South West, South Coast & London
-
Scotland and Wales
Though all of these locations have agreed to light up for National Supported Internship Day on 27th March 2026, unforeseen circumstances can arise.
