Inspire does this by offering a wide range of services that enable empowerment to hundreds of children, young people and adults with learning disabilities or additional support needs in North East Scotland.  At Inspire, they believe everyone should have the opportunity to fulfil their full potential, and actively encourage the people they support to have a say in the services they receive. In short, they include, involve, inspire.
