We are committed to increasing representation, inclusion and meaning participation of disabled children, young people and their families in decision-making processes impacting their lives.

We are committed to increasing disability awareness, understanding and inclusion within our diverse communities through partnership with mainstream and grassroots diverse groups, faith Groups, voluntary and community groups.

Trustees Foreword

We the trustees of Include Me TOO present our report of the achievements and impact of the charity’s work in supporting the inclusion, disability human rights and advocacy for disabled children, young people and families at grassroots from our diverse communities.

As a result of accessing our Reaching Out Advocacy Family Support Service during this year:

• 79% of parents and carers reported they feel empowered, more confident, and less isolated and anxious..

• 71% of young disabled adults have a transition plan in place to support continuation of their post 16 access to education learning once they leave secondary education.

‘The team at Include Me TOO have taught me so much and continue to support me in ways I never expected. They have empowered me with knowledge and understanding, helping me understand the complex processes like EHCPs with confidence rather than fear. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or unsure, they are always there, whether I need practical guidance, emotional reassurance, or simply someone to listen. In moments when everything feels too much, they step in calmly and compassionately, helping me find clarity and direction again. Knowing I have that consistent support makes all the difference and reminds me that I am never facing this journey alone’. Parent

Include Me TOO has two decades of experience in supporting and working with disabled children, young people, and their families from Black, Asian and Minoritised Ethnic and Marginalised communities at grassroots on the issues impacting their lives and supporting with access to SEND/Disability information, re <P support, and advice.

Our charity continues to advocate on the intersectional lived experiences as inequalities and discriminative practices continue to impact the day to day lives and long term outcomes of disabled children, young people and their families from Black, Asian and Minoritised Ethnic and Marginalised communities. Include Me TOO continue to advocate at both local and national levels campaigning for equity, disability rights, meaningful participation, representation and the inclusion of all disabled children, young people, and their families.

Include Me TOO apply a holistic person-centred and family focused approach, which is culturally sensitive. Our dedicated team empowers parents and carers to develop the best skills, information, knowledge and confidence in how to advocate successfully and navigate statutory services and the complexity of the SEND system. This in turn increases their capabilities to access adequate disability care support, resources, and financial assistance to improve their disabled child)ren) life chances in reaching their full potential and goals.

We are pleased to report that during this reporting period we have secured Big Lottery funding to continue our advocacy, information and advice service Reaching Out.

We welcome two new roles in the charity to support increasing Include Me TOO’s profile, reach, impact, sustainability and legacy.

We further secured funding with Awards for All to continue delivering our very popular TIMEOUT Programme for this year. We have found it a challenge identifying alternative funders for TIMEOUT since our previous main funder Children In Need criteria and process has changed. TIMEOUT has been running for over 10 years and makes such a difference to so many disabled children, young people and their families.

Include Me TOO’s team, trustees and volunteers remain dedicated and committed to supporting and increasing the disability rights, inclusion, access, advocacy and participation of Black, Asian Minoritised Ethnic and marginalised communities disabled children, young people and their families. We have continued to exceed funded projects outcomes, making a real difference to families and within our diverse communities. We are embracing this new phase in the charity to work with a business approach and move forward with the tech and digital opportunities available to improve our charity’s financial position that we may sustain and build upon the charity’s achievements to date.

Within this report we present an overview of the charity’s achievements and share testimonies and statements from the community we have the privilege to support and work with as we advocate for underrepresented groups, disabled children and young people’s rights, meaningful participation, their inclusion, equality and equity for a chance for better futures and good lives.

We wish to share our gratitude to our funders, sponsors and partners and look forward to working towards sustaining and building on Include Me TOO’s endeavours to date, maximising opportunities for collaborations, stronger allyships and partnerships to achieve our charity vision of disability rights and inclusion for all.

Accelerating meaningful participation of disabled children and youth in policy development in the Commonwealth

Include Me TOO Executive Director Parmi Dheensa was a panel speaker for the Commonwealth Secretariat Human Rights Unit side event, ‘Accelerating meaningful participation of persons with disabilities in policy development in the Commonwealth’ held on the 17th Session of the Conference of States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities at the United Nations Headquarters in New York in June 2024.

The event was chaired by Professor Luis Franceschi Assistant General Secretary of the Commonwealth. On behalf of Include Me TOO and the Commonwealth Children and Youth Disability Network Parmi Dheensa shared good practices of intersectional approaches and the importance of the inclusion of disabled children and young people. Emphasising on a child-rights based approach to create an enabling environment for the meaningful and active informed participation of disabled children and youth in developing legalisation and policymaking.

‘The human rights set out in both the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in the context to children and young people with disabilities are indivisible.

Children and young people with disabilities meaningful participation requires sufficient time and additional resources including access to platforms to ensure they are able to share their views, To that avail increased awareness that they have rights under CRC and CRPD is necessary and that they have the right to be heard and that what they say, their experiences, their views and ideas matter.

We must ascertain what children and young people with disabilities rights based participatory approach to policymaking and their meaningful participation as right holders should look like to ensure as outlined in CRC article 12 that children and young people’s views are sought, taken seriously, they are involved in public decision making and have their views given due weight

The process of meaningful accessible participation in decision making and shaping policies that address the issues effecting them, knowing that they are being listened to and their views are being respected. builds children and young people with disabilities agency as human rights defenders and the realization that they are right holders and duty holders are obligated to protect and implement their rights under CRC and CRPD’.

Extract from Parmi Dheensa’s Include Me TOO Executive’s Director Speech at the United Nations COSP17 event

REACHING OUT

Our Family Advocacy Support Service continues to offer families opportunities to access one to one information tailored support to meet their individual family’s needs. Parents and carers have been supported to complete annual Education Health Care Plan Review’s (EHCPR), attend accompanied Team Around the Family (TAF) and Education Health Care Needs Assessment meetings.

Our team hold pre-meetings with parents and carers to ensure they are equipped with the right information and feel empowered to advocate on all matters on behalf their child (ren).

Parents and carers have also been

supported in putting forward requests to access updated Speech and Language Therapy (SALT), Occupational Therapy (OT), Educational Psychologist and Social Care Assessment records.

The Reaching Out team have supported parents and carers with increased understanding and confidence to input and advocate throughput the various processes where decisions are made regarding the support their child(ren) receives. They have received support with understanding reports, ensuring all documents and reports accurately reflect their child(ren)’s learning, health, and emotional support need requirements.

‘Before we found Include Me TOO, I felt completely alone, trying to navigate an overwhelming system with no guidance or support. Every step felt like a battle, and I constantly worried that my child’s needs were being overlooked. With Include Me TOO by our side, everything began to change. My child now has an EHCP and access to specialist provision that truly understands and supports them. The right professionals are finally involved, working together in a way that puts my child at the centre. Most importantly, I no longer feel isolated or powerless. For the first time, I feel supported, understood, and confident that we are not facing this journey on our own. Include Me TOO has changed everything for our family’. Parent

The Youth Transition Family Support has continued to assist parents and carers with information, advice and advocacy on a range of transition to adulthood issues including:

Over this reporting year we have supported parents/carers to:

‘Our son L is 16 and has learning disabilities, autism, and severe anxiety. School was not a safe place for him, and the specialist provision he attended failed to protect him emotionally or physically. His EHCP was vague, out of date, and did not reflect his needs, while assessments were delayed and our concerns overlooked. As his anxiety grew, we were forced to remove him from school and educate him at home to keep him safe. Without support or respite, the pressure on our family became overwhelming, made harder by my own learning difficulties, epilepsy, and long-term health conditions.

When Include Me TOO became involved, everything changed. For the first time, we felt listened to and supported. They helped secure a full reassessment of L’s EHCP, ensured it accurately reflected his needs, and guided us through post-16 specialist options. As a result, L has transitioned into a specialist college and is re-engaging with learning, forming friendships, and rebuilding confidence. For the first time in years, we feel hopeful that our son is understood, supported, and safe.’ Parent

TIMEOUT

TIMEOUT is crucial in supporting and providing affordable and accessible inclusive programme during school holidays and weekends that are full of opportunities for fun, adventures and friendships for disabled children and young people. TIMEOUT provides access to a range of physical, sensory activities, access to heritage places of interest to visit and explore, inclusive and accessible sporting and creative activities increasing and developing a range of social interpersonal skills, support health and wellbeing and their sense of community and belonging.

During this reporting period TIMEOUT focused on:

Throughout TIMEOUT activities disabled children and young people and their siblings gain wider access to social and recreational activities creating opportunities for them to build peer connections, share learning, skills, new experiences, and develop lasting friendship.

TIMEOUT activities during this year included Horse Riding, Indoor Sky Diving, Zip Wiring, Abseiling, Canoeing, Archery, Inclusive Surfing, Creative Arts and Silent Discos. Group Outings to Victorian Town, Sealife Centre, Legoland, Black Country Museum, Fun and Games at our Christmas TIMEOUT session with Naughty Elf. There were visits to theatre as disabled children and their families enjoyed Aladdin production and later in the year Beauty and the Beast production.

Many fun and enjoyable memories and adventures shared and created through TIMEOUT this year and great friendships built.

Disabled Children and Young People’s Feedback

Child E Age 14, Autism, Severe Anxieties, Learning Disabilities

‘TIMEOUT has changed my life. It has given me chances to go to places and do things I never thought would be possible for me, like Challenge Academy, Fun and Games with Naughty Elf, Surfability and Woodlands Adventure. My favourite place so far is, actually there is two Woodlands and Surfability. When I feel frightened or unsure, the staff don’t leave me behind — they stay with me and climb with me. Because of them, I feel safe enough to try, and sometimes even feel proud of myself.

Before TIMEOUT, I felt very alone. I currently don’t go to school and I didn’t have friends because people didn’t always understand me. At TIMEOUT, I have found friends and a place where I belong. I look forward to coming back, seeing familiar faces, and being part of something that matters to me. The team at TIMEOUT truly understand me. They explain things slowly and clearly, in ways I can understand, without ever making me feel silly or different. They help me understand why I need to wear a helmet or a harness, or why I need to be careful near the water. They respect me and treat me with kindness’.

Child H 15 years – Downs Syndrome

‘I really enjoy going to the Young People’s Group. I like sitting together and taking turns to share what activities I would like to do next, such as Woodlands, Blitz Hill, and bowling. The Include Me TOO team make me feel listened to and make sure I have the chance to say what I want, both in the group and on my own’.

Child M 9 years - Micotnic Dystrophy, learning disability

‘I enjoy the holidays as I can see friends I’ve made at Include Me TOO and really enjoy spending time with them and chatting together. What I like most is that Include Me TOO listen to us and let us choose the activities we want to do. I really hope to be able to go horse riding again! This makes me feel calm and relaxed, it’s also funny to see Include Me TOO staff get muddy and messy this makes me laugh a lot’.

Accelerating Children and Youth with Disabilities Participation, Advocacy and Influence in the Commonwealth

Include Me TOO and the Commonwealth Children & Youth Disability Network organised and delivered an official side event at the 17th session of the Conference of State Parties to the CRPD during June 2024 in partnership with the Commonwealth Secretariat, Hope and Homes for Children and Minority Rights Group International.

It cannot be ignored that children and youth with disabilities are one of the most marginalised groups in the world and those who live in rural areas and indigenous communities are further disadvantaged. It has been estimated that there are over 240 million children with disabilities worldwide 1 in 10 children globally have a disability.1 That is 240 million children, and this number is expected to double by 2050. In the Commonwealth, 60% of the population is under the age of 29. With data from the WHO, which suggests that globally, 1 in 6 individuals grapple with significant disability, equivalent to 16% of the world’s population,2 a stark reality emerges.

WHO 2015 report 3 estimations indicate that there are 93 million children aged 0-14 years with moderate and high support needs. In some places, “children with disabilities are up to 17 times more likely to live in institutions than other children”4 where they are subject to increased risk of harm, neglect and abuse.

Shrutilata Singh (India) – CCYDN Aisa Region Youth Representative

‘I would like to highlight the importance of capacity building of children and youth with deafblindness who rely heavily on support person for their learning and growth. They face significant challenges in communication. It is vital to provide them such opportunities to ensure their inclusion, develop their roles as disability human rights advocates and ensure they can share their ideas and influence change to address the issues important to them’.

Joy Ubong ( Nigeria) - CCYDN African Region Representation

‘Emphatically, the place of a youth in decision-making and meaningful participation should not be overlooked, as policies, laws and programmes put in place without them in mind creates more barriers’.

Daniel Grice - CCYDN Co – Chair

‘The Commonwealth Children and Youth Disability Network (CCYDN) is comprised of majorly of youth with disabilities, we are advocating for our own place in these policy and decision making areas, and really get that meaningful position to have an honest dialogue for our genuine inclusion, advocacy and meaningful participation.

Five key areas, that we feel need to be focused on are

1. Inclusive Education and Lifelong Learning

2. Meaningful Participation in Public and Political Life

3. Accessible and Inclusive Forms of Employment

4. General Disability Rights

5. Safety from all forms of Violence, Abuse and Discrimination’.

This side event amplified the pivotal role of disabled children and youth in shaping a more disability rights inclusive future within the Commonwealth. The event highlighted initiatives led by disabled young people, focused on enhancing rights, inclusion, advocacy, leadership, and capacity building and Call To Action.

This side event was disabled youth led and the main objective was to:

Jahirul Islam (Bangladesh) – CCYDN Asia Region Representative

Innovative research across diverse disability groups leads to insightful materials tailored to their specific needs and experiences, translating our vision into evidence-based advocacy.

We’re actively engaging diverse communities to inspire transformative leadership, aiming to cultivate a robust network of support and collaboration. We’re advancing accessible campuses by implementing reasonable accommodations and conducting workshops to foster understanding of inclusion.

Selena Baptiste (St Lucia) – CCYDN Carribbean Region Representative

‘Too often, governments and organizations engage in superficial inclusion practices without implementing meaningful policies or providing necessary resources.

However, there are promising practices. Training and capacity building are essential, especially when led by youth-led organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs). These organizations can share their skills, advocacy journeys, expertise, and provide peer support, emphasizing the importance of youth-led and developed training and delivery. Programs focusing on skill development, leadership training, and education can transform lives. When young people with disabilities are empowered, they not only improve their own circumstances but also become strong advocates for their communities. Resourcing organizations led by youth with disabilities and those focused on children with disabilities’ rights is crucial to increasing inclusion, advocacy, and participation for children with disabilities.

To truly accelerate the participation, advocacy, and influence of children and youth with disabilities in the Commonwealth, we need a multi-faceted approach. Governments must move beyond tokenism by enacting and enforcing inclusive policies, investing in accessible infrastructure, and ensuring genuine representation. Organizations must prioritize capacity building and create platforms for young voices to be heard and valued’.

Presentations by disabled young people and guest speakers covered the following topics:

Risk Management and Funding

The Board of Trustees acknowledges its responsibility for the charity’s work delivery and strategic direction, overseeing ongoing assessment of the major risks, ensuring the charity meets its strategic objectives, delivers upon funded and commissioned projects, reviews and assesses operations, finances and control systems that are in place to manage those risks.

Include Me TOO was founded on the Sikh principle of SEVA and was supported through selfless service to helping others. humility, equality, fairness, inclusion, and not under a business approach. Much of the work delivered by the charity has been delivered through in kind time from supporting coordinating, delivering outreach in communities, campaigning, supporting families over many years as our team is small and we focused with funded projects and matching with SEVA delivering at grassroots. With the demand for our services and support we have not had the capacity to fundraise, build connections with corporate and small businesses, organise fundraising events and online fundraisers.

We are moving towards a business model for financial sustainability and increasing our visibility and support via online platforms sharing the charity’s impact makes and increasing public and business sector awareness and support for Include Me TOO. We are exploring income generation avenues, fundraising opportunities, delivering on training and events as we have established good networks and have skills and expertise to fill the gaps and build capacity in the sector.

The two new roles in the charity, the Partnership and Business Development Officer and the Social Media and Communications Coordinator, will support raising our charity’s profile, increasing supporters for the charity and income generation to strengthen the charity’s financial position and sustainability.

This year we have secured three years funding from Big Lottery. This funding will support existing Reaching Out Service posts which provide advocacy, information and advice for disabled children, young people and their families including for young people with learning disabilities transitioning to adulthood.

Big Lottery have funded our charity in the past and this funding was a continuation on our successful delivery in the community and recognition for the impact we continue to make.

We also secured funding from Awards for All for our TIMEOUT programme holiday activities for disabled children, young people increasing opportunities to make new friends, have fun, access opportunities to a range of activities and new experiences and adventures.

Further donations and fundraising increased the income for the charity supporting our projects.

We will seek to secure match funding for current projects and deliver on fundraising strategy and other income generating activities as we recognise the skills and expertise of the charity as key assets we can build upon to increase charity funds and sustainability of Include Me TOO and deliver the charity’s vision.
