The Inclusion Group

What The Inclusion Group does

The Inclusion Group (Dundee) is a registered charity (OSCR charity number SC026317) and registered company providing community-based support services to children, young people, and adults with additional support needs in the Dundee area of Scotland. Founded in 1994 and operating with 17 employees from a single premises at 23–27 Albert Square, Meadowside, Dundee, the organisation delivers flexible, regulated support across day, evening, weekend, and short-break time slots via dedicated teams of support workers managed through a hierarchy of Team Leaders, Service Managers, and an Executive Director. Its core offering includes the Adults and Young People's Service — which builds bespoke support plans aligned to individual goals and aspirations — and a Group Activities Programme covering social events such as discos, baking, arts and crafts, and karaoke.

The business model is anchored in contracted commissioning relationships with two public-sector bodies: Dundee Health and Social Care Partnership (adult services) and Dundee City Council Children's Service (children and young people), which both refer and fund service users. A secondary revenue stream comes from self-directed support, where individuals use personal budgets to commission The Inclusion Group directly, supplemented by donations from supporters collected offline and via a SumUp online donation page. The organisation is regulated across multiple statutory frameworks — Care Inspectorate, OSCR, Companies House, and the Scottish Social Services Council — and operates under a human-rights and person-centred approach, with support plans developed in co-operation with service users, families, and statutory services.
