Donegal Horizons CLG

Since 2005, Donegal Horizons CLG. (formerly operating as New Horizons Partnership Ltd.), has been a committed Community / Voluntary organisation; fully funded by the Day Service Supports Dept. of the Health Service Executive (HSE West) in Co. Donegal, R.O.I.; to provide services of excellence to school leavers and adults of all ages with intellectual disabilities. Our aim is to enrich and improve the quality of the lives of our referred individuals; which in turn impacts favourably on families and the wider society where inclusion and equality of opportunity is at the core.
Donegal Horizons CLG is primarily a training organisation and provides accredited training and enrichment learning opportunities – both in the classroom and through meaningful ‘hands on’ Community placement experience(s) which, where possible, may progress to supported paid (usually part time) employment in the open labour market locally. Each individualised programme is based on the individual’s own aspirations, wishes and abilities – and on a specially – created Person Centred Plan.
Through our various Projects, our referred clients can enjoy and benefit from opportunities in their own local Communities promoting self-determination, maximisation of personal potential, true community integration; all governed by the principles of the HSE New Directions initiative. New Directions is one of the key policy documents contained in the HSE Transforming Lives Programme. It assists and directs service providers like us to secure the well-being and the futures of our clients living with intellectual disability
