Young people with additional needs are linked up with a volunteer who offers friendship and guidance to help them to access the activity of their choice and participate fully. Our volunteers receive comprehensive training and attend regular support meetings ensuring that they are equipped to support the young people in their activity, allowing them to socialise in the local community, develop communication skills, build confidence, from friendships and most of all to have fun!

The Me2 Club was established by parents of children with additional needs who recognised that their children were not able to access leisure activities in the local community,often leaving them isolated and excluded with limited opportunities to socialise with peers. The Me2 Club addresses this need for social inclusion, whilst offering a unique volunteering opportunity to those in the local area.

The Me2 Club not only benefits the children receiving support, but also enables parents to have a period of respite whilst their children gain independence from the family. Activity providers are able to offer a more inclusive group which provides opportunities for mainstream children to socialise with children with disabilities, helping to foster a more support environment.
