Head In The Game teams up with R World to Keep The Light On

2nd November 2026

We are excited to announce that we have teamed up with R World and Action For Conservation to help deliver our growing number of sports projects at Head In The Game and tackle the stigma surrounding mental health.

R World is a grassroots foundation established to celebrate and remember the life of Robbie Curtis, a young man from Kent.

Over the next 6 months, we will be following the incredible journey of 3 friends who set off from the Lake District on 6 October on a truly inspiring mission. They are Winter Mission Britain, Harvey, Seamus and Tom, 2 of whom are from Kent, and they are running the entire coastline of Britain through the depths of winter.

Their challenge is extraordinary: 5,240 miles, 84,000 metres of climbing (more than 9 times the height of Everest) and just 180 days to complete it. They will carry all their own kit and sleep wherever they stop along the way.

Throughout their journey, they will be sharing their adventures and raising money for grassroots charities working in sport and conservation.

Winter’s long, dark days can be particularly challenging for our mental health, and we will be supporting the campaign they are helping to promote. Keep the Light On is built around a simple but powerful idea: getting moving, spending time outdoors and looking out for one another can help us through even the darkest months.

On 15 November, Robbie’s birthday, Harvey, Seamus and Tom will be shining a light in memory of their friend, while raising awareness of the importance of looking after our mental health and breaking down the stigma that still surrounds it.

Robbie had a real passion for sport. At Head In The Game, we share that belief in the power of sport to bring people together and make a positive difference. It is this connection that makes our partnership with R World such a natural fit.

We are incredibly proud to be working together in Robbie’s memory and look forward to sharing this journey with you.
