Support Me2 Club

Why do we need your support?

The Me2 Club is a not for profit organisation and as such does not apply any charges to families that benefit from the service.

The charity is totally reliant on external funding in order to continue its valued work. Your support is crucial to sustain and develop the charity and to make a real difference to the life of a child with special needs.

With your support we can give the children the much needed opportunities they deserve and offer them a rightful place in their communities.

Your donation could help children and young people with special needs in any of the following ways:

£50 pays for an initial visit to families to assess a child’s needs
£60 pays for a volunteer to be trained
£100 pays for a child's activity
£200 pays for publicity material to be produced
£350 pays for development training for volunteers
£450 pays for a Christmas party for all the children
