What an incredible honour! I am absolutely thrilled to share some fantastic news that on Friday I attended the fabulous #SBSEvent 2025, and was presented my Small Business Sunday Winner's Certificate directly from the legendary Theo Paphitis himself!
The #SBS Event (Small Business Sunday Event) is an annual, exclusive gathering for the winners of Theo Paphitis's "Small Business Sunday" initiative. - More on this in another blog post!
Being recognised by Theo Paphitis & the SBS Team and becoming part of the prestigious #SBS Winners family is a monumental achievement for Dot Kids. It's a huge validation of our passion and dedication to a cause we deeply believe in: empowering children through art.
The Power of Art for Children's Wellbeing
At Dot Kids, our mission is simple yet profound: to increase children's self-expression, confidence, and wellbeing through the transformative power of art. In a world that often prioritises academic achievement, we champion the vital role of creative exploration in fostering holistic development. Art isn't just about drawing or painting; it's a powerful tool for communication, emotional regulation, and building crucial self-esteem.
This #SBS award shines a spotlight on this important initiative, helping us reach even more caregivers and schools across the UK. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to explore their creativity, find their voice, and build resilience through artistic expression.
A Community of Inspiration: The #SBS Family
The #SBSEvent 2025 was a truly inspiring day, filled with incredible insights and networking opportunities. To be surrounded by such a vibrant and diverse small business community was energising. The sense of camaraderie and shared entrepreneurial spirit within the #SBS network is truly remarkable. It's a testament to Theo Paphitis's vision of creating a supportive platform where UK small businesses can thrive, learn, and grow together.
A huge thank you to Theo Paphitis and the entire #SBS team for this amazing opportunity. Their dedication to supporting and championing small businesses is truly appreciated, and we are so grateful for the platform they provide.
What's Next for Dot Kids?
With this fantastic recognition, we are more motivated than ever to expand our reach and impact. We are excited to continue developing innovative art programmes and resources that truly make a difference in children's lives, boosting their confidence and fostering their wellbeing.
Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on this exciting new chapter! We look forward to connecting with more of the #SBS family and continuing our journey of nurturing young minds through art.
