This Friday 21 May, marking the end of Action for Brain Injury Week and Hats for Headway Day, Headway will attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for the most hats thrown in the air, at the same time, online.
They’re aiming to get 200+ people to participate online (Zoom).
Would any of your team dig out a favourite hat and register to take part? And share a pic / video clip on social media in advance, to encourage others to sign up? Here’s all the info…
The charity is also asking a few businesses/organisations to shoot a short video, of their teams throwing hats in the air, to be used online on the day of the attempt. (Short clip, shot landscape). Could you help?
