The charity, originally named “Me Too!”, was founded in Summer 2015 by Phionna Mcinnes.
As a local parent navigating the fragmented landscape of information in Aberdeen City and Shire when
searching for activities for her disabled child, she created a magazine that provided an accessible
resource.
The aim was simple yet powerful: to share activities that both “met the criteria” for participation and
that the whole family could enjoy together.
As a quarterly publication, the magazine quickly became a trusted hub - delivering reliable, up-to-date
information on tailored sessions and activities, while also conducting regular mapping exercises to
identify gaps in community provision and address them.
----- End of picture text -----

By 2024, We Too! magazine reached a readership of over 30,000 each quarter, connecting families, carers, and professionals. It has become more than a publication: it is a platform for shared experiences, a catalyst for new social networks, and a lifeline of empowerment for families navigating an ASN diagnosis. At a time when many feel overwhelmed, the magazine ensures they feel valued, supported, and informed.

Crucially, We Too! also provides discreet support for families who may not be ready - or able - to take part in traditional group sessions, ensuring they can still access resources, empowerment, and a sense of connection on their own terms.

Relaxed Sessions are designed first and foremost with the needs of ASN participants in mind, shaped by the voices of our community. However, they remain open to everyone - on the understanding that the sessions are tailored for those with sensory challenges.

By clearly setting expectations and keeping participants informed, we’ve seen inclusion happen organically bringing children, parents, and carers together in a way that feels natural and respectful. At the heart of this approach is the recognition that it is often the environment, not the individual, that creates barriers to participation. By assessing and adjusting sensory stimuli, we open the door for many more people to take part - not only those with a formal ASN diagnosis.

We work closely with organisations to train and empower staff to deliver Relaxed Sessions as part of their regular programming, while also promoting these opportunities through the magazine.

This approach ensures sessions run smoothly and sustainably, owned and led by the businesses themselves It removes the need for one-off, charity-funded activities limited to certain families, and reduces the risk of disappointment when when short-term projects end due to funding or resource challenges.

We Tool! is structured as a Single Tier SCIO organisation. This allows the charity to “trade” by selling advertising space within the magazine as well as training and relaxed sessions to fund the organisation as a self-sustainable entity. More information on single tier SCIO structures is available on: www.oscr.org.uk

Our Constitutione e

1. The organisation is established for charitable purposes only, for which, the objectives are:

1.1 to relieve the needs of parents and informal carers of children with life-long disabilities; and in furtherance of this by -

1.2 promoting the provision of information about available services for children with life-long disabilities; and

41.3 making available such supportive information as the trustees may decide; and

1.4 working in partnership with other bodies to promote the purpose.

1. The area within which the organisation shall operate (in this constitution referred to as the “Area of Benefit”) shall be the north-east of Scotland and the surrounding areas.

2. The organisation shall promote (but not promote exclusively) its activities and delivery operations to people within the “Area of Benefit” who are parents of children with additional support needs. These people will be the organisation’s beneficiaries.

3. The structure of the organisation consists of the charity trustees who are also the organisation’s only members and comprise the organisation’s board.

Lo = Se aes

.

We Too! produces a free quarterly magazine for families of children with life long disabilities which is distributed throughout Aberdeen City and Shire. We Too! hosts many "Relaxed Sessions" in the area allowing full inclusive participation in activities that may ordinarily be difficult to access.

= the position of Board Secretary, ensuring strong governance and continuity. o O a John has taken on a more prominent role in marketing and communications, keeping We Too! ox visible in local news and media. He also led the launch of our newly updated website, which now aa features regular updates and has been warmly received by the community. i In April 2025, we welcomed Sarah Fowler to the Board. With her extensive background in events = and marketing, Sarah brings valuable expertise and enthusiasm that will further strengthen our E team.

A t t & Recruit nt

Victoria Chamberlain continues in her role as Chair of the Board. During our Annual General Meeting in January, both Rebecca Lilley and Ryan Pirie stepped down as Trustees. Their contributions have been invaluable to We Too!, and we extend our sincere thanks for their support and guidance over the year.

Adele Reid and April Schelbert, both highly experienced in finance, remain central to overseeing the charity’s accounts and expenditures. In addition to her financial role, April has also taken on the position of Board Secretary, ensuring strong governance and continuity.

We currently have one Trustee vacancy and are actively recruiting to ensure our Board continues to reflect our constitution, bringing together both parents and business professionals. We remain open to new applications from individuals eager to share their skills, insight, and lived experience to help shape the future of We Too!

Angela Joss s““Bee“Bee You’ Award

We were invited to attend Station House Media Unit’s Volunteers’ Week and the presentation of the Angela Joss ‘Bee You’ Memorial Award, an annual accolade established to honour the community spirit, kindness, and resilience exemplified by Angela Joss, a long-standing volunteer and community supporter in Aberdeen. The award recognises individuals who demonstrate outstanding commitment to supporting and uplifting others. At the event, Phionna Mcinnes, Chief Ninja at We Too!, attended and was surprised to receive the 2025 Angela Joss ‘Bee You’ Memorial Award in recognition of her dedication to empowering children with disabilities and their families across Aberdeen and the wider region.

During this reporting period, the Ninja Team maintained stability in staffing, with no significant changes to team composition. Despite this, the team continued to demonstrate growth, with each member becoming more confident and secure in their roles within Ninja HQ. Carrie, Gillian, and Lynn excelled in their positions, sharing their expertise to support and guide our customers.

As the team took on increasing responsibilities and opportunities for professional development, Jillian and Sophie continued to thrive. Sofie focused particularly on expanding our volunteer team, strengthening the organisation and ensuring broader community support.

The team’s cohesion and collaboration were further enhanced during the Tall Ships event, where all members worked together to deliver an accessible and inclusive experience for attendees. The shared responsibility, problem-solving, and on-the-ground coordination required during the event strengthened communication and trust within the team, fostering a more resilient and effective working dynamic. This experience not only reinforced individual confidence but also highlighted the value of teamwork in delivering high-quality, inclusive community events.

oe oc O In addition, Chloe and Emma continued to deliver excellent work in running the We Too! and You ta group in Stonehaven. We were pleased to report that Lisa and Mags have continued as permanant a volunteers in leading the Laurencekirk We Too! and You group. Both groups, located in the south of ra the Shire, provide vital support and guidance to parents of school-age children. Lisa and Mags bring fa expertise, dedication, and enthusiasm to their roles, enhancing the services available to families and > ensuring greater access to resources, community, and support across the region. During this period, a they also successfully ran their own Relaxed Christmas Party for the Laurencekirk group, providing a festive and inclusive experience for families.

Overall, this reporting period was characterised by confidence-building, professional development, and strengthened team dynamics, enabling We Too! to continue delivering high-quality services and support to the community.

a“Ask a Ninja’s o 9 - Parent Carer Informatione SessionsLJ

ee ) oO ze Lu Lu 1 =) oc i

During this reporting period, we were delighted to see our Ninjas grow significantly in confidence and leadership. This progress was particularly evident in their involvement in designing, expanding and delivering their own parent and carer information sessions as part of the “Ask a Ninja” series hosted by We Too! Aberdeen for the second time.

specifically to support parents and carers of neurodivergent children and young people. Each session The Ask a Ninja training days were held at Ninja HQ and took the format of weekly sessions created was planned, researched, and delivered by our Ninjas, drawing directly on their own lived experiences. The aim of the series was to provide honest, practical guidance to families navigating challenges that many of our Ninjas themselves have faced. The sessions covered a wide range of topics, including understanding sensory needs, coping with anxiety, communicating with schools, and strategies for when a child is struggling with school attendance or refusing school. By sharing what has helped them personally, our Ninjas were able to offer insight that felt authentic, relatable, and reassuring for the families attending.

The sessions were well attended and received extremely positive feedback from parents and carers across the city and shire. Many attendees commented on how valuable it was to hear directly from young people with lived experience, and how empowering it was to see young people confidently sharing their knowledge and advice.

This was a major undertaking for our Ninjas. They were involved in developing the content, researching topics, structuring the sessions, and presenting the information in a supportive and accessible way. The process helped them build skills in communication, teamwork, research, and public speaking, while also reinforcing the value of their own experiences.

We are exceptionally proud of the way our Ninjas embraced this opportunity. Their willingness to step forward and support other families demonstrates not only their growing confidence but also their strong sense of community and empathy.

The Trustees are delighted to see that this years accounts demonstrate a resilient and actively operating charity with a strong and diverse income base, generating £118,380 during the period through a healthy mix of donations, grants and charitable activities.

In particular, the continued success of events, training and club income highlights effective engagement with the community and an ability to generate sustainable, activity-led revenue. We Too! has also secured significant grant funding, reflecting external confidence in its work and impact.

While expenditure has increased, this is largely driven by direct investment in charitable activities (£149,701), showing a clear commitment to delivering services rather than retaining funds. The charity maintains low governance costs and minimal administrative overheads, indicating efficient financial management.

Importantly, cash balances remain strong at £83,756, providing stability and the ability to continue operations despite a planned deficit, which reflects strategic reinvestment into growth and service delivery rather than financial weakness.

Overall, the accounts present a well-managed organisation that is financially stable, outward-facing, and focused on maximising impact.
