Chief executive Phionna McInnes said: “This is the chance to vote for who you think truly deserves these awards, you will find the link on our Facebook page – we are so excited to see who parents believe are fully inclusive in our local area”
Me Too! magazine was the brainchild of Phionna McInnes, who as a parent of a child with additional support needs, was becoming increasingly frustrated by the fragmented information they were receiving and the lack of fun activities which her family could participate in.
The idea was the development of the Me Too! magazine, which provides families of those with additional support needs, consistent information and ideas of activities custom designed to meet their needs, as well as regular clubs and relaxed sessions, successfully giving children the opportunity to have fun in a safe environment.
Me Too! magazine has a readership of over 31,000 every quarter, and has created a forum for people living in a similar situation to liaise and engage with each other, sharing similar stories and creating new social networks.
