Outreach
Flexible, community-based support that goes wherever it's needed.
About the Service
What is Outreach?
Our Outreach service provides flexible, community-based support to adults with learning disabilities. Unlike supported living or day centre provision, outreach support is delivered in the community wherever the individual needs it, whether that's at home, in a community setting, or out and about.
Outreach is ideal for people who live independently or with family, and who need a varying level of support at different times. Our trained Outreach workers provide practical, emotional, and social support tailored to each person's goals.

Flexible and personalised
Our outreach support can be provided during the day, evenings, and weekends whatever works best for the individual. Support hours are agreed in advance and can be adjusted as needs change over time. We work closely with local authority social work teams to ensure the right level of support is in place.
Funding Outreach
Outreach support is typically funded through a social care personal budget. If you are unsure how to access funding, please contact us we're happy to discuss your options and help you navigate the process.
