| “If it wasn’t for
Outreach I wouldn’t have got any support, they are always
there when you need them”
The Outreach Project aims to enable Fairfield
members to live successfully in the community and to maintain
their well being once this has been achieved. We ensure that we
work to the users agenda at all times and aim to assist the member
to live independently and have a life that is as ordinary as possible.
The success of the Outreach Project is due
to the team’s ability to provide support for clients across
a wide range of areas. Every year, hundreds of services are delivered,
ranging from a simple home visit to advocating at a case conference
where a client’s voice might otherwise not be heard. Key
areas of support include; liasing with other agencies, providing
emotional support, and engaging and maintaining contact with members
on day-to-day basis.
Although the issues we deal with can be varied
and complex, getting us to help is not.
As the service operates within the Fairfield
Club, and because staff actively engage and maintain contact even
when members are well, strong informal relationships can be built
over a long period of time. This means it is easier for members
to trust Outreach staff, providing an effective link to professionals
in the statutory sector whom they don’t know and might find
less approachable.
The client-friendly service aims to be as accessible
and flexible as possible, with no overly formal remit or booking
system.
