Wishing the happiest of birthdays to our wonderful CEO and Service Lead, Sarah.

We’re more grateful than words can express for your inspiring and compassionate leadership. You bring such dedication and genuine care to the organisation, your team, and every service user.

You’ve guided our small charity beyond its 20-year anniversary and to recognition from the King himself - incredible achievements that speak volumes. Hart Gables continues to grow, thrive, and change lives because of you.

Thank you for everything you do, and for the support and kindness you show every single day. Have a truly brilliant birthday! 😀🎉

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Durham University Floorball Club for raising £94.00 in support of our charity. We are truly grateful for this kind gesture, which will make a meaningful difference to the people we support.

All funds raised will go towards helping our service users with travel costs so they can attend support sessions, as well as providing refreshments for those who take part in our sessions. 🚎🚎

We greatly appreciate your support. 🫶🫶🫶

The LGBT Alliance Awards 2026 - don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

We’ve been working behind the scenes to explore a new format for this year’s awards, and those plans are still taking shape. We’re rethinking how we present both the awards and this year’s winners.

Thanks for your patience as we move into the next phase. If you haven’t heard from us yet, there’s no need to worry - we’ll be in touch before the end of April with updates and next steps.

Thrive Beyond Hate is happening this Friday in Hartlepool. Check out the details below for more info.

In this session, we’ll explore the difference between hate crimes and non-hate crimes. Alongside these important discussions, we’ll also create space for creativity and self-expression. 🗣️

In the second half, participants will take part in a letter-writing activity, sharing what they’d like to say to those who don’t understand and reflecting on how hateful behaviour impacts them in a positive, constructive way. ✍🏻✍🏻

We hope to see some of you there. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
