Hello everyone and welcome to our latest website addition. Firstly, I need to apologise for the length of time it’s taken me to update you on all the latest happenings. I am delighted to say that we have been SO busy, that this is the first opportunity I’ve had to write in a little while!
This post is to say an enormous thanks to BBC Radio Solent. On the 26th September 2023, myself, my husband, Archie and Daisy were invited to the BBC Radio Solent’s ‘Make A Difference Award 2023’.
Without my knowledge, my amazing husband and the lovely Mr Sam Fuller (Head Teacher – Christchurch Junior School) nominated me for an award for the work that we do with Awesome Archie. When I received the phone-call in March to tell me that I had made it into the final four in our category, I couldn’t believe it! THANK YOU!
The awards ceremony has been created to thank members of the community who contribute, without expecting anything in return. For us, this was enormous.
Sadly, we didn’t win the biggy in our category, that honour went to a lovely young lady called Billie, for her contribution to the environment, but we were blessed to receive a ‘Highly Commended’ award for our efforts with Awesome Archie.
The event itself was beautifully hosted by Alun Newman, amazingly produced by Rebecca Parker and attended by truly wonderful people.
We promise that we will use this incredible honour as a platform to keep us powering forward. For as long as we are able, we will talk about neurodiversity, autism, ADHD, acceptance and inclusion… it’s the least our children deserve.
BBC Radio Solent, thank you for giving us the most wonderful day and the most phenomenal memories.
