It’s been so lovely to be back catching up with everyone at The Archer Project at Sheffield Cathedral.
Such a special place, doing incredible work to support people experiencing homelessness.
It’s easy to forget how much goes on behind the scenes — from providing hot meals and a safe space, to offering a shower, a clean pair of socks, or some warm gloves. All those simple comforts that many of us take for granted every day.
When we arrive with the ponies, the whole place seems to pause. For a little while, the focus shifts to soft noses, gentle cuddles, and quiet chats — conversations that bring smiles and warmth in the middle of a busy day.
If we at Smile Pony Therapies can make even the smallest difference — helping someone feel a little calmer, a little happier, or simply seen — then every bit of the hard work over the past six months getting back up and running has been worth it.
A huge thank you to everyone who has donated and supported us in getting the ponies back out on visits — we truly couldn’t do it without you.
The Archer Project is always in need of donations. They even have an Amazon Wishlist where you can gift simple but essential items like food , new underwear or even gloves and hats now the weather has turned cold .
Remember — gifting forward is a small act kindness that makes a big difference, and it’s something each of us can do. 💛🐴
