Reach Out is a project that provides companionship and practical support to older people who are medically vulnerable and are home from hospital and at risk of hospital admission. Reach Out can assist people by linking them up with a volunteer in their neighbourhood who can offer support to them in their own home – helping them to adjust to and recover from illness, whilst also reducing social isolation and loneliness.
