Horden Together

29/05/2026

Today some of the team used their volunteer hours to take part in a beach clean 🌊
Together we collected over 12 bags of rubbish from our beautiful coastline 🙌
From cans and bottles to nappies and takeaway waste, it all adds up.
We’re so lucky to enjoy these spaces, especially on sunny days, so let’s all do our bit to keep them clean 💙

Turn Monday Bright 2026 - Monday 19 January 2026

January can be a difficult month, that's why the Headlight Project are on a mission to turn a dark day in January bright, particularly bright orange!

The idea is to make everyone smile, so the charity is urging people to dress up in orange, or something similarly bright, for the day whether that's at work or in school. Do a physical activity dressed in orange, make orange cakes or just get together with colleagues or friends it's up to you, as long as you're brightly dressed!

The overriding aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of mental health issues to help as many people as possible who may be feeling down and give them a reason to smile that day!
