About Anna Kennedy
Anna Kennedy OBE finally got her break when she was announced one of the winners of The BBC’s Peoples Strictly in February 2015 where she scored the perfect full marks in the final that was aired to over 11 million people across the UK. Anna used this as the ideal opportunity to share her personal journey of Autism and to use the opportunity as she connected with the nation and used this once in a lifetime opportunity to raise Autism Awareness through the communities nationwide and has become the fortitude and driving force behind Autism and her Charity.

Anna Kennedy OBE is winner of Tesco Mum of the Year 2013 for her amazing work supporting children and young people with autism. She set up Hillingdon Manor School – the largest school in Europe for children and young people with autism, and supports over 50,000 parents of children with autism through her website. Anna also has set up a school in Bromley that caters for children with ASD.

Originally from Middlesbrough, Anna and Sean Kennedy are parents of two boys, Patrick and Angelo, who are both affected by autism. In 1999, having been turned away by no fewer than 26 special needs schools when searching for appropriate educational facilities for their sons, they decided to take matters into their own hands and re-mortgaged their home to transform a derelict council building in Middlesex, West London into Hillingdon Manor School. The school, which is now a centre of excellence for children and young adults with autism, has earned considerable recognition for its outstanding work and early in its life caught the imagination of Esther Rantzen who is now Hillingdon Manor’s patron. In 2008 Anna co-authored her best-selling biography “Not Stupid” which poignantly portrayed her struggle to find appropriate provision for her boys – a story which will be familiar to many parents.
