Today we were proud to represent Hirst Welfare at the Northumberland Miners’ Picnic and Memorial Service at Woodhorn.

Founded through the contributions of local miners, Hirst Welfare has always been part of the story of Ashington’s mining communities. The Welfare was created to support miners and their families, providing opportunities for recreation, wellbeing and community life.

As we laid our wreath, we remembered the generations whose hard work, sacrifice and resilience helped shape our town. Their legacy lives on in the communities and organisations that continue to serve local people today.

Never forgotten. ❤️

Looking for something to do next week with the kids? then look no further.

STRONGER SHORES - an enviro-aquatic adventure!

Join Alex on a sun-soaked trip to the seaside that turns into the most extraordinary adventure imaginable!

When a chance encounter leads Alex beneath the waves, a whole new world opens up — one filled with incredible creatures, hidden dangers, and surprising new friends.

Along the way, Alex discovers the wonders that lie beneath our oceans: from magical underwater landscapes teeming with life, to fascinating sea creatures with some very important things to say about our seas.

But there's a friend in need, and Alex must find the courage to help before it's too late.

Packed with laughs, live action, puppetry, music, and plenty of audience interaction, *Stronger Shores* is a thrilling, funny, and heart-warming show for the whole family — with a big message about the incredible ocean world on our doorstep, and how we can all help protect it.

All ages welcome.
40 mins (including post-show photo opp)
FREE - booking strongly advised
