Community Outreach Services

Our Community Support Service is here to provide advice, information and holistic outreach support to people who are experiencing barriers to meeting their assessed social care needs.

We work with both adults and children with learning difficulties, mental health, long term health conditions, low self-esteem and people from Minority Ethnic groups who are not able to access support due to their language barriers.

We work alongside you to develop an individually tailored package of support that meets your needs, working with you to find the solutions that are right for you.

Our high-quality service is flexible and will help you to resolve real-life difficulties and to improve your own independence, quality of life and wellbeing.
