What Include Me 2 Club does

Include Me 2 Club SCIO (charity number SC047911), founded in 2009 and headquartered in Barrhead, Scotland, is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation delivering inclusive support services to people with additional support needs, disabilities, and mental health conditions across the West of Scotland. Its portfolio is organised by life stage: Children's Services (0-12 years), Youth Services (12-18 years), a Transitions programme (including the 2026 Positive Pathways guide and My Transitions Passport), and Adult Services (18+), supplemented by Community Services such as Well Walks, Team Up 2 Clean Up, Allotment Angels, and a Connect Club for adults aged 50+. Core programmes include the Hub Club daytime opportunities service, the Buddy Up befriending and mentoring scheme, Scotland's longest-running inclusive clubbing experience Club & Live Late (run jointly with dates-n-mates at Garage G2 in Glasgow since 2018), and the Caravan Club short-break holidays at Haven Craig Tara.

The charity also operates two social enterprises: Social Blend, a multi-site community coffee shop and gift shop providing retail and hospitality training, and the Bike Hub, offering repair, upcycling, rental, sales, e-bike loan schemes, and the Craigie Trailblazers youth cycling club in partnership with Cycling Scotland, Active Schools, and East Ren Culture & Leisure Trust. The technology stack is deliberately non-software: the technology profile is explicit that there is no proprietary platform, and service delivery is built around physical hubs, community venues, and human facilitators across 8 locations spanning Barrhead, Neilston, Cardonald, Darnley, Clarkston, Renfrew, and Glasgow.

Revenue is generated through a mixed charity model: charitable donations and fundraising, Self-Directed Support (SDS) budgets and social work packages, paid Caravan Club stays (3 nights from £220, 4 nights from £280, 7 nights from £460), Bike Hub rental and maintenance fees, e-bike monthly subscriptions, hourly bike rentals, and Yaldi Lottery participation at £0.50 per £1 ticket. Membership is free for eligible individuals, with services reached via self-referral, social work referrals, school and college partnerships, and word of mouth. The organisation has 22 employees, supports 2,175+ members, delivers 2,500+ sessions annually, and records 28,000+ volunteer hours per year, with regional and national award recognition in 2023-2024 including Scotland Loves Local finalist status and a Paths for All national finalist placement.
