Inspire Sussex is a registered charity in England, founded in 1949 as Eastbourne & District Mencap. It has supported people with learning disabilities and their families for more than 75 years, focusing on adults in Eastbourne and neighbouring areas. The charity’s approach, described as “human shaped care,” centres on empowerment, involvement and personalised support to help people enrich their lives and achieve greater independence.

Inspire Sussex provides residential care through three homes and runs a Social Hub offering a broad range of weekly activities, workshops and projects. The hub also works with local organisations to strengthen community connections and support people with learning disabilities. Through its residential services and social programmes, the charity seeks to foster compassion, collaboration and positive change for individuals and families.

The organisation shares stories about its work and invites people to learn about its team, history and mission. It also offers opportunities to join its staff, sign up for a quarterly newsletter, provide feedback and support the charity through donations.
