Meet James! Hhe started with Reach Out to the Community as a homeless outreach worker. Our outreach team carries out outreach in and around South Manchester and coordinates multi-agency outreach at Manchester Airport.
James often does outreach with Change Grow Live Manchester (Drug and Alcohol Services), either at the airport or driving around locations around South Manchester.
We receive referrals from Manchester City Council , partner agencies and members of the public.
Once a person has been referred to us, our outreach team will go out to do a welfare check, verify the person is sleeping rough and then do referrals to the relevant services.
You will also see James in our Reach Out to the Community Charity Shop in Chorlton, serving our wonderful community with a friendly and welcoming smile.
So next time you see James say hi 👋
