Inspire - Eden and Razzett Foundation

The project involves assistance within the Disability Services, including services which are educational, therapeutic and recreational. These services are offered to persons with a disability, both physical and intellectual, through the programmes. The services include: pottery sessions, therapeutic horse riding, arts and crafts, multi sensory therapy, human animal interaction, swimming sessions and animal park visits. It involves assisting Inspire staff in disability programmes throughout the organisation. The project was originally designed to help us to provide free services to children with disabilities. This service has continued, requiring committed and regular volunteers who can support our staff to continue to provide such services. It has also expanded to assisting in other programmes which require volunteer assistance, and we have found the best way to provide committed assistance is through a mixture of local volunteers and more regular volunteers from the European Voluntary Service. The objectives of the project are to continue to meet the demands within the community, create a learning opportunity for young persons and to increase the the volunteers' employability and to promote healthy lifestyle and the inclusion of persons with disabilities within society.
