They love us unconditionally, even when we make mistakes. They are there for us in our darkest hour, even when it may not be convenient. They remain faithfully by our sides through all of the tears, the laughs, the heartbreaks, the victories—Through all of life’s ups and downs.
They are our blood, our backbone, and our heart. They are our family.
Here at Acorn Stairlifts, we know how much our families mean to us.
Family is the core of our company—The very reason why our company exists today and why we make every effort to provide your precious loved ones with only the best stairlifts and service.
This year on International Day of Families 2025, celebrate alongside Acorn as we take the time to appreciate the invaluable gift of family and the profound impact that they have on our lives.
When is International Day of Families?
International Day of Families is observed every year on 15 May.
This year, in 2025, the day takes place on a Thursday.
What is International Day of Families?
First proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 1993, International Day of Families is a day designed to promote the well-being of families all around the world.
It serves as an opportunity to emphasise the importance of the role of families in promoting education, healthcare, and social integration.
By reflecting on the challenges that families face in the modern world and recognising the need for policies and programs that support families, we can not only address these issues, but act on them for lasting global reform.
Beyond shining some light on these important issues, International Day of Families is also an occasion to celebrate the diversity of families around the world and recognise their contribution to society.
What is the Theme of International Day of Families 2025?
Each year, the United Nations chooses a theme for the International Day of Families to direct our focus to a particular issue related to families.
This year’s theme for International Day of Families 2025 is "Family-Oriented Policies for Sustainable Development: Towards the Second World Summit for Social Development 2025.”
At first glance, it may sound like a mouthful—but the message is both simple and powerful: Strong families create strong societies. And to build strong families, we need supportive policies in place.
This year’s theme calls attention to how governments, communities, and individuals can shape a better future by prioritising policies that support families. These might include things like:
- Paid family leave and flexible work hours
- Affordable childcare and education
- Access to healthcare and elder care
- Income support for low-income households
- Housing that meets multigenerational needs
As we move closer to the upcoming Second World Summit for Social Development later in 2025, the UN is urging countries to reflect on what’s working—and what needs to change. The goal is to create smarter, more inclusive social systems that empower families and help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.
In short, this year’s theme is a global reminder that when we invest in families, we invest in everyone’s future.
We Care—Why Family Means Everything to Acorn
Why does family mean so much to us at Acorn? Well, as a matter of fact, family is the reason that Acorn Stairlifts exists today.
In fact, this is how Acorn Stairlifts began—with a loved one who needed some help and a caring and concerned son who wanted to give her only the best.
Our founder's mother had just purchased a refurbished stair lift and asked him to help her with some repairs. After repairing his mother’s stair lift, his mother’s friends, who had also purchased stairlifts, asked him to repair theirs as well.
This gave Acorn's founder the idea that there must be plenty of other people out there whose stairlifts weren’t meeting the needs, expectations, or the high standards that their loved ones deserved.
This is why Acorn Stairlifts remains so passionate about what we do to this day.
With such a high number of people around the world who suffer from some type of mobility impairment, disability, or the natural effects that come with the ageing process, Acorn wants to lend a helping hand, helping them reach new heights with only the highest quality stairlifts.
Acorn knows that these people are not just numbers. They’re our grandmothers and grandfathers, husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, and children. They are the people we love and care about.
They deserve to live their lives to the fullest, despite their mobility limitations, soaring above the obstacles that once burdened them and not missing out on making more memories with their families.
This is why we take our mission to get you and your loved ones mobile again so seriously.
