Awesome Archie’s Toy collection/ donation to the DCF and our interview with the legendary PDA Dad uk !

We must start this post with an enormous THANKYOU!!!

Back in October we launched an appeal for second hand toys to help support kids within our community and WOW, you delivered! Over the space of four weeks, we made multiple trips to various schools with donated SEN equipment, wet play games and toys . This week we dropped off our HUGE collection to the DCF. As you know, we are proud affiliates of the Dorset Children’s foundation . We are so proud and grateful that you all helped us to support them in the important work that they continue to do. THANKYOU!

Please know that although we have personally paused collections until Easter, the DCF will GLADLY accept any child related donations at their Treehouse store in Boscombe.

Our interview with PDA dad uk is LIVE!!!!

Well, what an experience that was. Honestly, Monday felt like such a fun day for both Archie and I.

We were privileged to be interviewed by Duncan, a well known content creator, amazing Dad and all round lovely guy ( PDA dad) . We were lucky enough to chat to him for a couple of hours.๐Ÿ™ To be honest, in the end it felt like the kind of chat you’d have over a flat white ๐Ÿคฃ I will link the YouTube vid here for you to check out โฌ‡

Like a lot of parent carers, its rare that I get to talk to someone who just gets it! Duncan really does. We were able to discuss the SEND funding crisis, lack of adequate “in school ” training and Jimmy Carr?! Honestly ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ‘

It was such a wonderful morning and a we must say thanks to Duncan for created such an epic interview. Both Archie and I both said that so far , that’s up there as an Awesome Archie career highlight and we have plonked it firmly into our positive memory bank ๐Ÿ™‚
