Description:
At Reach Community Projects we believe everyone deserves to live their lives to the full. However, poverty has a devastating effect on family life and that of an individual and robs us of the freedom to achieve this. Our purpose is to tackle poverty in and around Haverhill, restoring people's dignity and reviving their hope. Our aim is to lift people out of poverty!
REACH stands for 'Restore, Encourage, Action in the Community and Hope'. Our vision is to uncover and resolve the root issues of the people we see and lift them out of poverty, restoring dignity and reviving hope.
We do this through 6 key activities/projects
- REACH resource centre, a drop-in centre open weekdays providing practical support for people struggling with poverty, debt, family problems and benefit issues
- REACH Money Advice, Debt counselling, budgeting and money management support
- Foodbank, providing emergency food parcels to families and individuals in need
- Starter Packs, providing essential bedding & kitchenware
- Client Aid, financial assistance through donation based projects such as Acts 435
- REACH into the Community, this project seeks to deliver all of our projects on a more discrete manner within people's homes in more rural communities surrounding Haverhill.
