Children and adults often tell us our space feels “special” — and that was always our plan 💜

It was designed to flow, offering both privacy and a sense of belonging. We’ve created soft and structured areas to support regulation and safety, so everyone can find what they need in the moment.

You won’t find anything clinical here — no harsh environments, no photocopied worksheets, no one-size-fits-all approaches. No AI generated advice. Every resource is carefully chosen, high quality, and meaningful, because everyone deserves to feel valued. It is Abi’s intention that everything is created with care, purpose, and respect for each individual.

That’s what makes it feel different. That’s what makes it feel special and that’s why what we do is so highly praised 💜

Wishing everyone a thoughtful and meaningful Good Friday.

For those for whom today holds great importance, may you find peace, hope, and a renewed sense of gratitude in your hearts.

The Parachute Project exists because I care deeply — and because I’ve always had a natural ability to build relationships with and truly understand the children and families I work with.

Our mission is simple: help children understand their emotions and develop the tools they need to thrive in the world they’re growing up in, through a modern service that meets them exactly where they are.

There is no one‑size‑fits‑all approach when working with children.
Every child deserves to feel understood.
That belief drives everything we do.

We provide support that is:

Yes, more children are being identified as autistic or ADHD today, but that doesn’t mean there are suddenly more neurodivergent children. It means we’re finally recognising needs that have always been there — needs that were often missed or misunderstood.

Diagnoses have risen, but our education system hasn’t had a meaningful overhaul since 1988. Children have changed. The world has changed. Our systems haven’t kept up.

If we can reshape education and wellbeing support to place neurodiversity, emotional literacy, and mental health at the centre of learning, children will finally have the chance to thrive.

The world has changed. It’s time our systems did too — and this belief is exactly why I’ve taken so many professional risks to build a service that creates real, positive change for children and families.

As the spring term comes to an end, we wish all children, families, and school staff a well-deserved break filled with fun, relaxation, and quality time with loved ones.

Don't forget to enjoy a chocolate Easter egg or two! 🐰🐣🥚🍫

𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬.
When we support children early, we prevent crisis later.

But here’s the reality: every childcare professional has heard the call for “early intervention,” yet so often the services and funding needed to make it happen simply aren’t there.

I’m passionate about offering an accessible service that helps change this. At the core of our work are our emotional wellbeing programmes — curriculum‑led, evidence‑based, and continually evolving — designed to meet children where they are and offered across a wide range of settings and circumstances.

Early support shouldn’t be a luxury. It should be the norm. And we’re committed to making that possible for more families.

I find it very hard to put myself in the spotlight, but I am deeply passionate about advocating for children and their families. Supporting our community means constantly navigating, networking, and finding new ways to reach the people who need us most.

I’ve developed The Parachute Project tirelessly, uniquely, and openly — with the support of some incredible individuals and businesses who truly understand what I’m trying to achieve. I’m used to networking and building professional relationships, but I have never experienced such a level of commitment and trust in what I know I can deliver. To those championing me… you know who you are 💜

After 25 years in the system, I believe we must rethink how we support children.
Children’s needs have changed.
The world has changed.
Our systems need to change too.

This is exactly why I’ve taken so many professional risks to build a service that I believe can create real, positive change for the children and families we support. Our systems must evolve with them — and I will keep finding ways to make that happen.
