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.

Flower Pod Newark is sited on approximately two acres of land in Hawtonville near Newark. We recently took over this beautiful community garden, which includes two ponds, polytunnels, a small orchard, vegetable and flower beds, fruit bushes and other interesting features. The site offers an accessible space where people with learning disabilities can take part in gardening related learning and social activities, make new friends, enjoy outdoor activity and learn new skills as well as have opportunity for supported volunteering and mentoring.

Christine Daniels
Flower Pod Newark Centre Manager
After many years working in the Food Manufacturing Industry and teaching Food Technology at Nottingham Trent University, I am very happy to be here at Reach as the Flower Pod Newark Centre Manager.
We have a wonderful space here at Flower Pod Newark where we can enjoy some peace and tranquillity as well as learning about what how rewarding it can be to get food to grow.
I’m particularly looking forward to working with our clients to help them to build confidence, enjoyment and understand the benefit of gardening, physical activity and being outdoors. All exciting stuff! Watch this space...
Christine
