outreach statistics

The Community works with individuals who have complex support needs.

These needs might arise from their emotional state, physical health, mental health, housing status, illicit drug use, alcohol use, offending behaviour, vulnerable situation, self-harm, learning disability, financial situation, challenging behaviour, tendency not to engage with services, sex-worker status, or because they are at risk from harm caused by others.

In-depth work:

Accommodation  
    Assistance in obtaining accommodation
    Follow-up resettlement work
    Obtaining furniture

    Arrange detox/rehab appointments, and accompany

It is the Community's policy to encourage more part-time volunteers to become involved in outreach work on a regular basis, and to provide appropriate training and support to enable them to do this effectively.

tables

 

The tables below give the number of vocational workers available in a given month, the age-group and accommodation status of the people we work with in-depth, and also an indication of support-plans and outcomes.

Reflecting the chaotic lifestyle of this client group, the number of people we work with varies constantly as does the intensity of the work. The tables provide a snapshot of the work undertaken at the time.
