Our Alms and Objectives
Pur
and Aims
The main area of charitable activity is to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Northern Ireland and
surrounding area and to provide innovative, pragmatic, daytime, evening time and drop in services for people
witli learning disabllities. The mission statement is 'Empowering People with Learning Disabilities and
Promoting Social Inclusion,.
It has two distinct strands of activity.
to give its members the skills and self-confidence to play a fuller role in society;
and to support the community to be pro-active in the process of social inclusion.
In support of these aims Destined constructed a North West Learning Disability centre at its Foyl¢ Road site. The
centre provides the base for a Council wide social inolusion programme that supports people with learning
disabilities to become involved in every aspect of community life. The organisation has established an out-reach
centre in Feeny. County Derry to complement the work of the new centre in rural areas.
The Focus of our Work
The orgaiiisation is based in the North West Learning Disability Centre and delivers programmes morning,
afternoon and evenings throughout the week and has programmes running at weekends. and also a similar one in
Feeny tl)at services the rural area. Destined Ltd operates a person centred planning process to inforni the type and
content of its programmes. but the 8roup operates on the simple assumption that its members have the same rights
as everyone else to participate in the communÉty and the only diff¢rence is that they may need a bit of extra
support to do so.
Tlie programme of work for the organisation in the next financial year will include the full refurbishment of the
Foyle Valley Railway Museum. the refurbishment of the Tank-house on site that is the last remaining piece of
iiifrastructure of the Great Northern RaRlway9 the development of the Destined carwash as a social enterprise, the
development of an urban social farni, the establishment of a learning disability service prnvider consortium and
tlie establishment of a social liousing initiative.
Destined Ltd will continue to develop and deliver appropriate services to its membership that is currently at 250
people and will seek to off¢r additional places to another 50 people over the y¢ar.
