First of all, an apology from us for how long it\u2019s taken to get our latest blog written and shared. Yikes, it’s been a while \ud83d\ude32<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life, both home and work, has been incredibly busy behind the scenes lately, and while we always want to keep everyone updated, we never want to rush what we write. Every single person that takes the time to read our blogs, follow our journey, support our cause, or cheer Archie on means so much to us, and we think that deserves thoughtful content written from the heart. So, thanks for waiting \ud83e\udd17<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that it\u2019s finally half term, which means things have slowed down just enough for me to finally take a breath, sit down with a cuppa, and catch up properly with all of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what a few weeks it has been!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our recent highlights was Archie and I being invited onto BBC Radio Solent to talk about our school programme, Awesome Archie\u2019s Connection Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Awesome Archie Non Profit\u2019s Awesome Archie\u2019s Connection Club<\/strong> is a school-based program written my me and Arch, that is designed to help neurodivergent children build confidence, friendships, kindness, and meaningful social connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme focuses on creating inclusive spaces where children feel seen, valued, and supported \u2014 especially those who may struggle with confidence, loneliness, anxiety, or fitting in socially. Through fun activities, conversations, teamwork, and positive encouragement, the program helps children develop emotional wellbeing and stronger peer relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because it\u2019s delivered in schools, the club can reach children in their everyday environment \u2014 helping build stronger classroom communities and encouraging children to support one another both inside and outside the sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme also reflects Archie\u2019s own journey and personality, using real experiences to inspire children and show that everyone deserves connection and acceptance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was such an incredible experience to be able to share the heart behind the project and talk about why creating connection, inclusion, and kindness in schools matters so much to us. Watching Archie speak so confidently and proudly about the work we do was one of those \u201cmum moments\u201d I\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A huge thank you has to go to Josh the Host for making both Archie and I feel so welcome and relaxed from the moment we arrived. Sometimes media appearances can feel a little daunting, but Josh and the production team made the whole experience feel warm, genuine, and fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
