Haringey Reach and Connect is a support service for Haringey residents aged 50 years and above. We provide independent information, guidance and support to enable local people to improve their wellbeing in six different areas:
Our service is ‘light touch’ and non-specialist, with a focus on signposting, short-term support and workshops to help over 50s in Haringey to build confidence and to achieve their goals.
The service is available for all Haringey residents aged 50 yrs and over, delivered by email, telephone, or in person, by a team of Community Connectors. In addition to the basic support that we provide to the community, brief interventions are offered over a short period to help people manage and move through the initial impact of significant life events.
The aim of this short-term intensive support is to help people to manage concerns that commonly lead to longer-term issues; events such as a long-term illness, bereavement or financial crisis.
The service is delivered by a team of Community Connectors in Haringey who gather and share information about local opportunities, non-service based activities and support for the senior community. Connectors actively seek to provide the service to all older people at risk of social isolation, and in particular LGBTQI+, disabled, BAME and socio-economically disadvantaged groups.
Connecting and supporting service users helps them remain confident and independent in their everyday lives. Our offer won’t be right for everyone, but if it’s not, we’ll ensure that the right kind of support is found. We also accept referrals from local organisations, groups, family and friends.
Your fundraising efforts and donations are very important to us; they will ensure that we can continue providing essential mental health services to the Haringey community.
