If you are interested in the community outreach service a member of the team will visit you at home to talk to you about what you would like to achieve. You will then be allocated a dedicated support worker who will work with you to develop a personal plan supporting you to achieve your goals.

Regular programme reviews will take place to ensure you are happy with your progress. Once a community outreach programme has been completed we are only a telephone call away should you require further support.
