As Abigail’s 18th birthday approaches, we are choosing to remember the smiles, the joy and the beautiful moments that remain forever precious to us.

“The memory of the righteous is blessed.” — Proverbs 10:7

If Abigail’s life touched your heart, pause with us today and remember her with love. You may leave a 💚 in her memory.

In the days ahead, we will honour her life quietly, gratefully and with love.

When caring responsibilities become overwhelming, a parent carer’s own dreams can quietly disappear beneath everything that must be done.

For Cindy, Project ME created space to breathe, rebuild her confidence and see herself beyond caregiving. Today, she is pursuing her dream of studying at university. 🎓💚

Her story reminds us what can happen when a parent carer feels seen, supported and encouraged to reconnect with who they are.

That same belief is at the heart of Stronger Carers, Stronger Families—a free 12-week programme offering structured group sessions, peer connection and individual wellbeing support.

The programme is open to eligible parent carers who:

👉 Live in the London Borough of Bromley
👉 Care for a child or young person with SEND
👉 Have not previously participated in Project ME

Self-referrals and professional referrals are welcome.

Please share this with a Bromley parent carer who may need space to rediscover their strength, confidence and identity.

Because the person behind the caring role still matters. 🌿

“I didn’t even realise how lost I was… until Project Me reminded me of who I am.” — Monica, Project Me Champion 💚

For many parent carers, life can become a continuous cycle of caring, advocating, giving and simply trying to make it through the day.

Somewhere in that journey, it can become difficult to remember the person behind the caring role.

Monica’s story reminds us why spaces created specifically for parent carers matter.

📍Spaces to pause.
📍Spaces to be heard.
📍Spaces to rebuild confidence.
📍Spaces to reconnect with who you are beyond caregiving.

That same commitment to parent-carer wellbeing continues through Stronger Carers, Stronger Families — a free 12-week programme offering structured online group sessions, peer connection and individual wellbeing support to eligible parent carers in Bromley.

If you have been carrying too much for too long, perhaps it is time to make space for yourself too.

Please note: 📍Stronger Carers, Stronger Families is for Bromley parent carers who have not previously participated in a Project Me cohort.

Self-referrals and professional referrals are welcome.

This video is a powerful reminder that behavior doesn’t always tell the whole story.

What began as a call for an assault turned out to be an autistic child in crisis. Because these officers had training, they were able to turn this into an incredible moment.

Training matters.

Whether you’re a police officer, educator, healthcare provider, or anyone who works with the public, understanding autism and neurodiversity can completely change the outcome of an interaction.

Thank you to the Salt Lake City Police Department for sharing this important example and for highlighting the impact of autism-informed training.
