We are a Nottinghamshire charity supporting people with learning disabilities to live happier, healthier lives in their community. People with learning disabilities in our county face a higher than average risk of poor health, loneliness and social isolation.
Our centres Reach Southwell, Reach Newark, Reach Mansfield, Flower Pod and Flower Pod Newark support people with learning disabilities to enjoy a better quality of life in their own community. We do this by offering courses, social activities, holidays and best practice projects to find new solutions to problems. We also offer quality one-to-one care support through Reach Learning Disability Care CIC (rated outstanding by the Care Quality Commission).

Covid-19 – update on current day services, 4th January 2021
Further to the Prime Minister’s statement on 4th January, we can confirm that Reach’s day centres will continue to open as planned. We have reviewed the government’s latest guidance relating to health and social care provision. Extra measures are in place to keep our clients, staff and volunteers well. All activities comply with latest government Covid-19 regulations and are monitored closely.
Our senior management team will keep the situation under constant review and our Centre Teams will be in touch with clients and/or carers in case of any change.
In addition to activities at our centres, our innovative and popular alternative service includes online socials and courses, telephone welfare calls, and delivery of activity and wellbeing packs. We are also supporting family carers through online, telephone and face-to-face communication.
