Surrey Outreach

Who do we help?

The Surrey Learning Disability Outreach Support Service offers support to people living within the Horley, Redhill, Merstham, Banstead, Dorking, Epsom and Caterham areas.

The service supports people over the age of 16. It is aimed at individuals with learning disabilities and encourages them to develop and maintain their ability to live independently.

About the service

Our service supports 17 people at any one time and is a long term service. This means that the support we provide is ongoing and will not come to an end after a fixed period.

We operate from Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 5.00pm. If you receive support from us you will meet with your support worker on a regular basis. How often this is will depend on your own individual needs. This is worked out and agreed at the beginning of the service and regularly reviewed.

We can work with people regardless of what kind of accommodation they live in for example council accommodation, private rented, housing association or even if the person is homeless.

We work with people to identify their needs and to find ways to achieve their goals. The support can focus on things like housing, health, money and community activities. This is agreed in a Personal Development Plan, which we regularly review with service users.

What next?

You will not have to pay anything for this service as it is funded by the Supporting People Team in Surrey.
