OUR STORY
It began with
“one more story”.
Eos and Apollo began
as a bedtime story.
Two children, living on the Cycladic island of Keros around 3000 BC, wandered through a world of sea, gods and imagination. At first, their adventures had a simple purpose: to help our children fall asleep.
But, little by little, the stories became something more.
Eos and Apollo gave us a way to talk to children about things that are not always easy to explain. War and conflict. Illness and loss. Fairness and injustice. Why people behave as they do, why the world is sometimes difficult, and how we might respond to it with courage, curiosity and compassion.
What began as a bedtime story became our family charity, named for Eos and Apollo.

Eos and Apollo began as a bedtime story.
Two children, living on the Cycladic island of Keros around 1,000 BC, wandered through a world of sea, stone, gods, family and imagination.
At first, their adventures had a simple purpose: to help our children fall asleep.
But, little by little, the stories became something more.
Eos and Apollo gave us a way to talk to children about things that are not always easy to explain:
War and conflict.
Illness and loss.
Fairness and injustice.
Why people behave as they do, why the world is sometimes difficult, and how we might respond to it with courage, curiosity and compassion.
One bedtime story became a series of tales; the tales became a language through which complicated ideas could be made human and understandable.
It seems fitting, then, that our family charity should carry their names too.
Eos & Apollo represents the same instinct that gave birth to the stories: to help children understand the world around them, and, where we can, to make that world a little kinder.
