The TottenHug was started in 2016 by Rob Farah. A local community Facebook group, now over 6000 members strong, was devolving into bickering and complaining and Rob thought something should be done to fix that.
He explains:
The Tottenhug has happened every year since 2016 and it has even inspired a community hug in Hastings, England!
