Social Group

Socialising is important for everyone, as it provides an opportunity to spend time with friends and family, to have fun and to relax.

For someone with a learning disability, socialising can be particularly important. Getting involved in a group or activity can be a chance to learn new skills, improve quality of life and raise self-esteem.

For some people it is also a chance to express emotions and ideas that otherwise might have been difficult to talk about, and a chance to feel included in the local community.

Outreach actually provides a range of services supporting adults with a learning disability and/or long term mental health needs, to live an independent life.

Our aim is to provide person centred support to people living either in their own homes or within our residential services. Therefore, it is important for the service users to have the opportunity to socialise.
