Inspired Community Enterprise Trust/The Usual Place

Inspired Community Enterprise Trust LTD (ICET) was set up in November 2011 following the first Youth Matters Conference with the aim of responding to the voice of young disabled people who shared their concerns and fears about the lack of employment, Further Education and community-based opportunities available to young people with additional support needs.

Young people wanted us to develop employment and training opportunities and enable their wider community relationships and citizenship opportunities.
We created an innovative partnership with Dumfries and Galloway College and developed an accessible approach to delivering an externally accredited SVQ Qualification in Hospitality. Young people successfully piloted this qualification leading developments.

We now deliver 4 accessible SVQ’s, a range of other qualifications including Food Safety and First Aid and so much more.

A whole community has grown up around The Usual Place and the activity and opportunities just keep on growing!
