Reach out home support
RFA-offer both volunteer and
paid specialist one to one support for anyone with a diagnosis of autism of any
age.
All our staff and volunteers
are autism trained.
Provision is usually for 2 –
3 hours a week, every week for up to six months and volunteers and staff will
aim to engage with the community, going on local outings where possible,
developing social networks and creating a positive relationship.
We are also offering online
video call support where this is more appropriate or feels safer for the
individual.
An initial home visit, or
call, with a Reach Out Coordinator will assess how the service can be most
useful.
There is likely to be a
waiting list to access this.
The service is free for the
volunteer befriending but if a higher level of support need is identified there
will be a charge and this can either be met from private income or local
authority personal budget allocations or a mix of these.
