LIGHTS OUT - marking 100 years of the start of the First World War.

Everyone in the UK is invited to take part in LIGHTS OUT by turning off their lights from 10pm to 11pm on 4 August, leaving on a single light or candle for a shared moment of reflection.

People can take part in whatever way they choose, marking the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War either individually or by attending one of the many events being organised around the country for a collective experience.

Was a whole team decision mate, can't take all the credit but was a no brainer and something that we wanted to be a part of!
