Excited to launch our Angus the Bear's First Day at School created by our Inspire Highland Young People.

Angus is a real teddy bear who lives with his best friend Hayley in the Highlands of Scotland. He was created to help start conversations about the experiences of autistic young people and to support greater inclusion across our communities.

This story was developed by young people involved in the Inspire Highland project, supported by Inspiring Young Voices. Working alongside writer Jen Hadfield and illustrator Katie Wilson, they shaped Angus’s first day at school based on their own lived experiences. The result is a gentle, engaging story that offers insight into some of the challenges faced in new or unfamiliar environments.
