Outreach Department
The outreach department is jointly managed by Helen Holgate and Jasmine Megginson. New Beginnings has been providing outreach services since 2017.
What is Outreach?
Outreach supports individuals with learning disabilities, autism, vision impairments, and mental health needs who do not require the intensive support provided by Independent Supported Living (ISL) arrangements, but who still benefit from a few hours of targeted support each week.
We have a dedicated and experienced staff team who provide flexible, person-centred support within service users’ own homes/ family homes. This includes assistance with managing finances, understanding and responding to correspondence, attending medical appointments, and maintaining tenancies. In addition to in-home support, we offer community-enabling services tailored to each individual’s interests and goals. This can include accompanying service users to leisure activities such as the cinema, bowling, or other outings of their choice, helping to promote social inclusion and independence. Our support is also adaptable to life changes; for example, we have supported individuals throughout pregnancy, ensuring continuity of care during significant life transitions.
Support is provided on a flexible rota basis, ranging from 2 to 20 hours per week, and is carefully designed around the unique needs, preferences, and schedules of each service user.
