ToyLikeMe

Founded in York city some years ago, it has encouraged industry awareness of the need to represent disability. Rotary York Ainsty has previously supported the initiative by funding the distribution of a number of dolls via the Lollipop charity (which assists deaf children). These dolls exhibited outward signs of hearing disability. 

Historically RYA has supported ToyLikeMe’s latest initiative to provide toy boxes in five York primary schools. The toy boxes contain toys displaying disability and appropriate sensory objects. The RYA funding will enable the purchase of a box for a local school and this will be acknowledged on the box.
