Who We Are and Why We Do What We Do
If you’re new here, hello and welcome! We’re so happy you’ve found us. Whether you’ve discovered us through our books, our school clubs, or our community work, you’re now part of the Awesome Archie family.
So let’s start with the big question…
Who are we? 🤔
Awesome Archie is a non-profit created by me, Rebecca and Archie ( one of my four children) with one simple goal: helping neurodivergent young people feel supported, confident, and understood.
What began as a small idea back in 2020, has grown into something really special. We’ve built a space where children and young people can talk about their feelings, support each other, and learn that it’s okay to ask for help.
Because sometimes the most powerful thing a young person can hear is:
“You’re not alone.”
Why we do what we do 💛
We know growing up isn’t always easy. School, friendships, emotions, and life can feel overwhelming sometimes.
That’s why Awesome Archie exists.
We want to help children:
- feel heard
- feel supported
- feel confident being their neurodivergent selves
Everything we create—from our stories to our clubs—is designed to help young people feel a little bit stronger and a lot less alone.
Our books 📚
One of the ways we share our message is through our Awesome Archie KS1 and 2 book series that are donated to schools, clubs and hospitals.
These stories follow Archie through everyday adventures that many children can relate to. Along the way, readers explore emotions, friendships, challenges, and ways to handle tricky situations.
The books are fun, friendly, and full of heart. They help start important conversations in a way that feels safe and easy for children to understand.
And honestly… we love hearing when a child says,
“That’s exactly how I feel!”
Supporting our community
Awesome Archie isn’t just about books—it’s about building a supportive community.
We work with families, schools, charities and communities to create spaces where young people feel comfortable talking about what’s going on in their lives.
Sometimes that support comes through lunchtime clubs or activities. Sometimes it’s through conversations. And sometimes it’s simply reminding young people that someone cares by sharing our journey online.
Creating Awesome Archie school clubs
One of our favourite things we do is helping schools create neuroaffirming lunch clubs like ” awesome Archie’s Connection Club. A program that we have been trialing this academic year and that will be available for schools to purchase through our sister company , Neurocreative Media after its official launch in April 2026.
This Program give students a safe and welcoming place to:
- chat and connect
- build friendships
- learn about well being both physically and mentally
- support one another
They’re relaxed, fun spaces where kids can talk, laugh, share ideas, and learn that kindness and support really matter.
The power of peer support
We also believe strongly in Autism peer support.
Autistic young people often feel more comfortable opening up to others their own age. When students learn how to support each other, it creates stronger friendships and healthier school environments.
It’s amazing to see what happens when kids realise they can help lift each other up.
Our journey is just beginning
What started with Just Archie and I in our conservatory has grown into something much bigger than we could have ever imagined but the heart of Awesome Archie hasn’t everchanged. It’s still about creating spaces where young people feel safe, supported, and empowered to be themselves.
To everyone who has joined us on this journey—thank you. And to our new readers and followers…
Welcome to Awesome Archie Non Profit. We’re really glad you’re here. 💛
