Inspire Support for Carers

Description

Day Activities available to people with disabilities to support Carers

Individual support plans are set up in agreement with each person using this service and the aim is to enable people to reach the highest level of independence. This is achieved by means of rehabilitation programmes to help people maintain and enhance mobility and wellbeing. Many people attend the centre to give their carers a break whilst also making use of the facilities.
People attend as part of a support package funded by the Local Authorities Social Services Department. As a result, close contacts exist between Inspire and Local Authorities’ staff. Inspire staff have an important role in enabling disabled people to access facilities at our Independent Living Centre and provide
personal care support if necessary. Attendance can range from one to four days a week and transport may be arranged for people who cannot travel alone. Those attending are assisted to pursue any hobbies and interests they may have, for example:
• Active and table games
• Cooking and nutrition
• Gardening
• Information Technology (IT)
• Maintaining and improving mobility
• Personal fitness, gym activities
• Relaxation techniques
• For those who are unable to participate
opportunities are provided to enhance mental stimulation and social interaction.

Inspire is a "user-led", independent charitable trust. It provides innovative high quality services for people with disabilities.

Our Mission is to work in partnership with communities to enable, empower and enhance the lives of people with disabilities.
