On The Sofa with British Mums

For this week's episode of On the Sofa with British Mums, Lauren's husband, Andy, joins us to discuss the adventure of a lifetime.

Andy and two other UAE expat residents and explorers rowed for a cause: a mission to save the planet by raising awareness about plastic pollution in the world’s oceans and inspire the young generation while aiming to set five world records.

Their boat, the Ocean Guardian, proudly flew the UAE flag during the long and awe-inspiring journey through the Arctic waters, where nature, endurance, and sheer grit got them through with beautiful memories.
Their mission, called The Arctic Challenge, was to highlight the critical issues of ocean conservation and plastic pollution in one of the earth's most remote, harsh, precious, and vulnerable ecosystems.

Not only was this episode fascinating, but it reminded us all to follow our dreams for our future generations and for our future selves.

On the Sofa with British Mums Season 2: Episode 6 – Heroes of Hope with the inspirational Hollie Murphy.
In this week’s episode, Emma and Hannah chat to Hollie Murphy, founder of Heroes of Hope and you’re going to want to listen to this mums as it’s overwhelmingly emotional and full of life lessons we can all take away.
Heroes of Hope is a non-profit organisation that offers inclusion for people of determination or those with additional needs to take part in sport, in a safe and professional environment. Hollie has created a platform that reduces isolation and opens up opportunities for those who have previously not had the chance to compete in a sporting environment, to perform and shine.
Hollie also chats about her Junior Coaches Programme where Year 8+ students can volunteer their time to get involved in the programme, leaning essential life skills like compassion, empathy and motivation, in turn giving back to the community.
Heroes for Hope offers a lifeline for parents to get their children more involved in sport, yet Hollie talks about how the strength and dedication of those parents fuel her desire and passion to grow the presence of sport for people of determination in the region. Hollie is clearly on a mission, and we’re behind her 100% - she’s currently got over 300 children and adults taking part and we so look forward to seeing how this grows over the coming years.
