Inspired Day Service is an inclusive, person-centred programme based in Tralee, Co. Kerry, supporting young adults with mild to low moderate intellectual disabilities. Guided by the New Directions framework, the service empowers participants to live more independently and engage meaningfully with their communities. Running five days a week, Inspired offers a range of training and development opportunities based on individual interests, from digital skills, creative arts, and eco-sustainability to health, fitness, and personal development. Participants are supported in setting and achieving personal goals, gaining confidence, and preparing for future employment.

We also work with local businesses to create tailored work experience placements and provide opportunities for volunteering and community involvement through initiatives like Scotia Village. At its heart, Inspired is built on values of choice, dignity, inclusion, and purpose, helping each participant develop the skills and confidence to lead a fulfilling, self-directed life.

Our work is aligned to New Directions, the National Framework for Person-Centred Planning, the Comprehensive Employment Strategy for People with Disabilities, the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (IHREC) Act 2014, the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015, and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).
