Toucan’s Sunday Read 😊

It’s been another busy and productive week for our Toucan team.

📅 On Monday: We kicked things off with our usual morning team meeting, where we reviewed upcoming projects and planned a range of training deliveries for the weeks ahead.

📅 On Wednesday: We delivered two online Visual Impairment Awareness training sessions to 28 support workers from a care agency. These sessions sparked valuable discussions around the common barriers people face when supporting individuals with sight impairment, and how care teams can have more effective, person-centred conversations in their settings.

📅 On Thursday: We also had some great conversations this week about strengthening partnerships with organisations such as Parallel Lifestyle as they prepare for their annual Windsor Parallel Festival. We explored how we can further enhance our training offer for their valued volunteers.

We also began partnership discussions with Autec CIC this week. By working collaboratively, we know that our impact will be widen and create a more meaningful change together.

Toucan’s Sunday Read

It’s been a productive and rewarding couple of weeks for our small
team here at Toucan.

We have been focused on the re-accreditation of all our online courses, which is a detailed process involving functionality reviews, updated research and all is done but our dedicated team. We’re delighted to share that all course have now been successfully re-accredited, with three new courses awaiting accreditation for the first time.

On Thursday, we delivered a Disability Equality Training session to staff at the University of Portsmouth. The action plans developed during the session were incredibly encouraging, with clear commitments to removing barriers for disabled students and colleagues. The feedback was brilliant.

In addition, our team has been working with Brittany Ferries to develop an accessibility questionnaire. This will support their staff in asking the right questions at the point of booking, helping to ensure disabled customers experience travel that is as accessible experience for everyone.
We’re proud of the collaborative effort behind this work and grateful to everyone who contributes to making meaningful change happen.

We’re incredibly proud of the work we do at Toucan Diversity —
but don’t just take our word for it.

Supporting schools and organisations to build inclusive, accessible environments is at the heart of everything we do. Receiving feedback like this from Elmhurst Primary reminds us why these conversations matter — and how powerful thoughtful, inclusive language can be in shaping culture.

A huge thank you to Rosie Baron and the team at Elmhurst Primary Trust for your openness, engagement and commitment to inclusion. It was a privilege to share experiences, spark meaningful discussion, and explore how we can better support people with invisible disabilities across education settings.

If you’d like to learn more about how we can support your organisation, we’d love to hear from you:
