Herts Together

On Monday 10 February Herts Together launched at the historic St Albans Cathedral. This marked the beginning of a year-long programme celebrating our shared identity and strengthening the connections that bind us.

At the heart of the campaign is a simple and powerful message: One County, Many Voices, Shared Future. It reflects a Hertfordshire where communities of every background stand side by side, shaping a brighter and more connected future.

Throughout the year, Herts Together will host events, projects and collaborations built around seven themes that reflect the life and diversity of our county:

• Sport and Wellbeing

• Music and Arts

• Food and Culinary Heritage

• Business and Commerce

• Family, Young People and Education

• Faith, Culture and Worship

• Nature and Environment

These themes will shape community festivals, youth programmes, cultural celebrations, business forums and local partnerships. Each one is designed to bring people together, strengthen understanding and build pride in the shared story of Hertfordshire.

Robert Voss CBE CStJ, Lord-Lieutenant of Hertfordshire, said:“Herts Together reminds us that the strength of our communities is found in the compassion we show one another. Let the yearlong activities be a shining example of what can be achieved when people join hands in a shared purpose. It is a privilege to lead an initiative that celebrates unity and cohesion and the enduring spirit of Hertfordshire.”

Everyone across Hertfordshire is invited to take part. Residents, schools, businesses, community groups and faith organisations are all encouraged to join this movement and help shape a positive, sustainable and inclusive future.
