We are absolutely delighted to share that Toucan for Children has been named the winner of the Community Group Award at the BBC Radio Gloucestershire Make a Difference Awards 2026. The award recognises community groups that go above and beyond to improve the lives of others and make a positive difference in their local area. The winners were announced at a special ceremony held at Pittville Pump Room in Cheltenham, celebrating individuals and organisations from across Glouces

We were delighted to be given the opportunity to host a garden party at the Dog and Muffler. It was inspiring to see so much awareness and understanding of the work Toucan is doing within the community.
