Support Island Accessibility

Isle Access are extremely thankful to all of our volunteers, individuals that support us with fundraising and the members of our steering group. We are always looking for new people who can support our charity.

Toucan Diversity Training is an award-winning, disabled people-led social enterprise based in Portsmouth. Our CPD-accredited training is designed and delivered by our team of accredited disabled trainers, who share their lived experience of a disability.

We work with our clients to tailor training to their needs, and we pride ourselves on our bespoke approach. We have previously worked with Isle Access to deliver training to organisations across the island. On the mainland, we also work in partnership with Condor Ferries, Chichester Cathedral, and Portsmouth University.
