Story

Me too & Co and Toucan Diversity share a common goal - providing support and developing the potential of those affected by disability and additional needs. 

Both charities were founded by Anne Marie Asgari. We're natural partners and we're getting together to raise as much money as possible to keep providing our important services. 

A bit about Me too & Co

Me too & Co provides a supportive and active community for children with disabilities and additional needs. We care for the whole family, providing opportunities to join in, develop and feel empowered. We want to remove the isolation that can be created for families and their children who have a disability or additional needs.  

During the last decade we have expanded from at first providing inclusive play sessions, to now offering a wide range of therapies and services that are often otherwise inaccessible to families. These include services such as hydrotherapy, inclusive activities like drama and karate, and free legal advice for Special Educational Needs (SEN).

A bit about Toucan Diversity

Toucan Diversity Training Ltd is a not-for-profit organisation that provides equality training in order to promote social inclusion for the most disadvantaged groups of our society. Toucan’s objective is to educate and increase awareness of the issues which affect people with disabilities and other minority groups. 

We believe that diversity training should be carried out by people who have first-hand experience of the day-to-day difficulties encountered as a disadvantaged member of our society. 

How will your money help?

All the funds raised will be equally split between Me too & Co and Toucan Diversity. Every penny will go back into supporting the services and and activities we provide so we can continue to make a impact supporting children, their families and adults affected by disability and additional needs.
