Helping Young people reach their potential
About Us
Reach2care provides outstanding support and accommodation for adults and young people leaving care. It is extremely important to us that young people have the best possible start to life, therefore as a Leaving Care Service, we have several values and aims to help young people have a happy and successful life.
We are committed to provide safe and supported accommodation to people aged between 16 and 24 years old, to prepare them for a fulfilled, independent and productive life in their communities.
We aim to be honest and open and to deliver a service that will enable young people to succeed and grow within society. Reach2care believes in equal opportunities in everything we do and will not unfairly discriminate against anyone.
Our services are built around the needs of the young person, and the objectives of their responsible authority, whilst remaining excellent value for money.
All young people placed with us get good high-quality accommodation. We believe that this, combined with flexible outreach support from our support workers, gives them the best chance of achieving full independence.
Reach2care provide supported living placements for young people aged 16 and over who are referred to us by local authorities. Our main objective is to provide safe and high-quality accommodation in which our young people can develop and enhance their independent skills. The service will ensure that each referral is assessed individually, by equal opportunities to determine the abilities in relation to independence for each young person.
We are here to ensure that all young people are provided with a positive, consistent and excellent standard of care.
