Archie The Archivist

Keeps your group's history safe: minutes, records, old photos and the stories behind them.

Fun bio

Archie has read every set of minutes since the club was founded and still remembers who brought the biscuits. Ask him where the 1987 team photo went and he'll find it before you've finished asking.

Spot Archie by: Round glasses, a stack of books and a well-thumbed ledger.

Maya the honeybee

Maya The Busy Bee

Gets everyone buzzing: rotas, reminders and keeping the whole hive in step.

Fun bio

Maya runs on honey and to-do lists. Her headset is always on, her tablet is always charged, and she has never once let a rota go unfilled.

Spot Maya by: A headset, a tablet and a very busy pair of wings.

Evie the ring-tailed lemur

Evie The Family Connector

Brings families together to share news, photos, birthdays and family history.

Fun bio

Evie has traced her family tree back more branches than she can count. She loves nothing more than a family reunion, and she never forgets a birthday.

Spot Evie by: A stripy tail and a family tree scroll.

Atlas the tortoise

Atlas The Guide

Helps new members find their way and keeps every group pointing in the right direction.

Fun bio

Atlas is in no hurry. He has seen clubs come and go and knows that the best communities are built slowly and steadily. His compass has never once pointed him the wrong way.

Spot Atlas by: A sturdy shell, a zip-up jacket and a brass compass.

Nonna the old english sheepdog

Nonna The Heart of the Community

Makes everyone feel welcome, and keeps the traditions, recipes and get-togethers going.

Fun bio

Nobody leaves Nonna's kitchen hungry. She keeps every family recipe on a handwritten card, remembers everyone's favourite cake and gives the warmest welcome to every new face.

Spot Nonna by: A navy apron, a mixing bowl and a handful of recipe cards.

Gary the pigeon

Gary The Messenger

Makes sure every message gets where it needs to go, without getting lost in a busy group chat.

Fun bio

Gary's family have carried messages for generations. These days he delivers them in a tap, but he still likes to perch somewhere high and coo about the latest news.

Spot Gary by: A Community Axis jacket and a phone full of messages.

Leo the shepherd dog

Leo The Guardian

Keeps each group space closed and safe, so only invited members can get in.

Fun bio

Leo takes his job very seriously. He knows every member by name, checks every invitation at the gate and keeps his radio on, just in case. Off duty, he's a big softie.

Spot Leo by: A utility vest and a walkie-talkie.

Charlie the cockerel

Charlie The Announcer

Shouts about events, news and big moments, so nobody misses out.

Fun bio

Charlie is up before sunrise every day with news to share. Matches, meetings, fêtes and festivals: if it's happening, Charlie is announcing it.

Spot Charlie by: A bright red comb and a megaphone.
