Very proud (if a bit knackered) to be CEO of 'Award-Winning' Include.org 😊. When we can draw breath, we'll tell you more linktr.ee/include.org

I hope you have received my heartfelt thanks Avril - I think X is suspicious of me as I haven't been here for a while and my messages keep disappearing. Thank you for continuing to be an amazing supportive presence, and restoring my faith in this online community 🙏🙏 we did it!

Wonderful Show! (fab concept learning & non-verbal communication). Most exciting - as the smaller boss took soooo long to eat his ice cream, we were there when the lights came up & the Twirly Woos went to bed.. so we got to meet the Great BigHoo! #TwirlyWoosLive
