REACH ACROSS

About

Reach Across is a not for profit charity set up in memory of the Chairpersons son, who died by suicide (drowning) in 2013. It was clear that locally there was no support available for families and friends in this devastating situation. Reach Across has moved twice and now has a facility where supports can be delivered under one roof. There are three therapy rooms, used for counselling and initial hour long 1:1 discussions following referrals. We are person centred and get to know the people we support well. There is a large hall where activities, such as group work take place, We have extended our opening hours on weekdays for people in distress so that they can receive support promptly. We are open 09.30-16.00 and volunteers man the office. There are 30 volunteers and we have commenced work to secure a paid post due to the growth of need for our services. We highly value our 1:1 support, for example we fund holistic therapies. All supports are free to those in need.
