Postponed: Free Hugs World Record in Distance. London - Edinburgh 2018.

By Andy at Focallocal | June 30, 2018

I made it my mission in life to teach people how they can make the world around them a little friendlier, safer, and happier by using positive projects and activities to target societal issues, and so I seem to have talked myself into something a bit out there again.. Next Saturday, on the 7th July I begin the over 900 kilometre walk from London to Edinburgh, 20-30 km/day, carrying a fabulous free hugs flag created by Irene and creating a new world record for the World’s Longest Free Hugs Event in Terms of Distance to promote our platform focallocal.org re-launching

The weather. It’s always a talking point. Maybe its because its something that the whole world has in common. Or maybe its because its an easy topic to start with if you want to break the ice and start a conversation with a stranger. It’s always going to be there, the weather.

International Pillow Fight Day

By Andy at Focallocal | July 14, 2014

On the 1st weekend of April people in around 30 cities aross the World come together armed with pillows and those big cheesy smiles that are inevitable when doing a rediculous activity that reminds you of the fun, carefree feeling you had when you were a child, and the world was full of adventure and happy people to play with. Then mayhem breaks lose and the sky fills with swinging pillows and the sounds of laughter. This beautiful event shows us all what truely remarkable things can happen when we all come together! in this instance for something unbelievably stupid and childish; and go away drunk on positive atmosphere that fills the air, with their souls refreshed from sharing care free enjoyment with thousands of others. That happiness doesnt just stay inside of the 1000’s of people in each city who came, they share a little bit of it with everyone they interact with and it has to make some net effect on the well-being of humanity.

International Pillow Fight Day London 2014

By Andy at Focallocal | April 8, 2014

Thank you to all who came and helped create another HUGE celebration of being alive and a wonderful experience for everyone there! We all filled the city full of smiles and goodwill to all! (expect the authorities who are convinced that people shouldn’t be allowed to come together and have fun without permits, permission and giving them money). I was dashing around with my GoPro against my chin (apparently it helps stabilise the video.. or i’ve been cruelly mislead and will spend the next few months looking stupid ;), perhaps you saw me?
