Social media influencers Matthew and Ryan, who have a combined audience of more than 10 million followers, have officially become ambassadors for The Honeypot Children’s Charity, strengthening a relationship that has grown over the past five years.

The pair, who live locally to Honeypot House in the New Forest, have been visiting the charity regularly, spending time with young carers and children aged 5–12 who experience difficult circumstances. Their visits have included joining festive celebrations, meeting with children, and learning more about the impact of Honeypot’s Respite and Health and Wellbeing Breaks and wider wrapround support. Their local connection has helped them build meaningful relationships with the children and the team, and they have become valued supporters of the charity within the local community.

By becoming ambassadors, Matthew and Ryan will help raise awareness of the charity’s work and use their significant social media presence to support Honeypot’s mission to create happy memories and build brighter futures, while continuing to champion support for children in their local area.

Matthew and Ryan said:
“We’re incredibly proud to become ambassadors for Honeypot. Over the past five years, we’ve seen first-hand the difference the charity makes in giving children the chance to relax, have fun and just be kids. Being local to Honeypot House has made the connection even more meaningful for us, and we’re passionate about supporting a charity that is making such a positive impact in our own community. We’re excited to continue to build on our relationship, working closely with the team and helping raise awareness of their amazing work.”

Simmi Woodwal, CEO of The Honeypot Children’s Charity, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Matthew and Ryan as official ambassadors for Honeypot. They have been wonderful supporters for many years, taking the time to visit us, connect with the children and truly understand the difference our work makes.

Their enthusiasm, warmth and genuine commitment have made a real impact, and we are excited to build on this relationship. Having ambassadors who are part of our local community is particularly special, and with their significant online audience, they are well placed to help us raise awareness of the support we provide to young carers and children aged 5–12 experiencing difficult circumstances, both locally and across the UK.”

The Honeypot Children’s Charity provides tailored support for young carers and children aged 5–12 experiencing difficult circumstances through Respite Breaks, Health and Wellbeing Breaks and ongoing wrapround support, helping to build confidence, reduce isolation and create happy childhood memories.
