I have to be honest, this one is making me very emotional ( although those of you who know me know that’s no surprise!)
Last night we finished our official 2023 diary with a truly moving evening. Each year we host the Awesome Archie Carol concert and we are supported by the BRILLIANT Boscombe Salvation Army band. This mini concert ( held on our driveway) is attended by our neighbours, family and close friends and is live streamed on our you tube channel.
We do this because so many kids are not able to enjoy evenings like this first hand. They may have a compromised immune system, be overwhelmed by their neurological differences or be receiving end of life care and we at Awesome Archie believe that EVERY CHILD deserves to sing carols if they want too!
The Band played Christmas carols and we all sang along with our carol sheets that they kindly provided for us. Mulled wine, hot chocolate, mince pies and Christmas cake were all consumed and we had so many moving and warm moments. It was truly the perfect end to what has been the most incredible year for us. Thankyou all 🙂

Our last term term has been wonderful. There have been nativity performances, Christmas SEN hamper deliveries, new families and children to get to know and a whole lot of fun.
I was also able to enjoy a very rare evening out with the William Gilpin school team. I feel so blessed to have made such kind friends in the truly unique and WONDERFUL WG school. I feel vey blessed indeed.
So as I leave you until the new year we must say THANKYOU. Thankyou for helping us raise our children, thankyou for ALWAYS donating your unwanted kids toys and clothes, thankyou for sharing our posts, channels and socials and thankyou for helping us to be on this AWESOME journey.
Thanks for EVERTHING, ITS BEEN THE BEST YEAR EVER!
