Our Social Mission
Purpose: Social inclusion for disabled people, by disabled people

We champion social inclusion for disabled people, by disabled people. As a disabled-led social-profit organisation, we deliver CPD-accredited training to empower, challenge stereotypes, and create inclusion pathways. Through education, advocacy, and partnerships, we drive lasting social change. Our Vision
We beli

eve passionately that every individual has the right to live a full, educated, and inclusive life. Our accredited trainers will help your staff gain the confidence and awareness to work with and assist your disabled staff or clients effectively. Employees at all levels of your organisation almost certainly need to be better informed about disability, including the practical issues that might arise. Disability Equality Training will extend their understanding and help them capitalise on the value that disabled customers and employees bring. In addition, we have an online CPD accredited Disability Awareness Course for you to take in your own time. Please check out our training offerings: www.toucan-diversity.org.uk

We are a registered user-led, award-winning CIC and are based in Portsmouth. We are a proud Disability Confident Leader and would love to assist you with your validation. Please get in touch to find out more. To sign up to our newsletter and find out more about our work visit our Linktree:

Toucan's Sunday Read

It's been a wonderfully busy week at Toucan Diversity!

We are thrilled to announce the official launch of our Silent Auction 🎉 made possible by the extraordinary generosity of our amazing supporters, donors, and partner organisations. Your kindness and commitment to our cause truly means the world to us.
👉www.zeffy.com/en-GB/ticketing/toucan-diversitys-silent-auction

Behind the scenes, we have been developing exciting new online course content focused on co-production — a topic close to our hearts. Our Blue Dragon Blogger has also published a brilliant and thought-provoking piece on this topic on our website, exploring the very real issue of tokenism in co-production. We'd love you to read it.

We are also delighted to share that our Parallel Windsor Disability Training Portal has started again this week with lots of volunteers signing up to it. We are incredibly proud to be working in partnership with such a forward-thinking and inclusive organisation.
