Archie’s Smile is a wonderful organisation that offers support and fosters an inclusive community for children with Down syndrome and their families.
The charity was founded by Coleen Twigger and her daughter in 2015, inspired by the birth of Coleen’s grandson, Archie.
The Chiel team is already busy brainstorming creative ways to raise funds and awareness for this fantastic cause!

Sponsorship Road Map

26/05/24 - Our Incredible Managing Director completed the Ford London to Essex bike ride, 100 miles through various elevations. We have raised just over £1,500.00 for Rosie’s Rainbow Pantry which is the most important thing.
13/09/24 - Postponed until 02/05/25 - Chiel team are taking on the 3 peaks Challenge....So, on Friday 13th September, they will be starting by ascending Ben Nevis, in the early hours of the morning, before jumping straight in the van, the moment we finish the descent - & driving onto Scafell Pike & climbing that. Then, having no energy left AT ALL - having climbed Ben Nevis & Scafell Pike on the same day - it's back to the van to drive to wet Wales & finish the 24 hours by climbing Snowdon! No mean task in a 24-hour window! Completion photos to follow.
22/11/24 - Charity Ball -We are thrilled to share that our Charity Ball was a resounding success! The evening commenced with warm welcome speeches, including a heartfelt address from one of the charity’s Trustees, setting the tone for an unforgettable night.
Guests enjoyed a delicious three-course meal, followed by a fantastic live band performance that kept the energy high throughout the event. The fun didn’t stop there – post-dinner entertainment included an exciting game of Heads or Tails and a much-anticipated raffle, adding an extra layer of excitement to the evening.
Thanks to the generosity of our attendees, we raised over £3,000 for the charity, a truly amazing achievement.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and supported the event. Your contributions make a real difference, and we couldn’t have done it without you!
From January to December 2024, our team at Chiel Head Office is dedicated to raising funds for our charity. .
