Who are ReachOut?
ReachOut Healthy Living Centre (formerly New Lodge Duncairn Community Health Partnership) is one of a growing Healthy Living Centre Alliance, currently with 29 members across the region.
Healthy Living Centres (HLCs) are tasked with translating high level government policies into accessible and practical community-based initiatives and programmes.
We’re here to prioritise meaningful connections, tried and tested solutions and the betterment of our local community’s health and wellbeing.
Our Mission
At ReachOut, our mission is to reduce local health inequalities, and implement positive change in the lives of our community members, through a range of early engagement, prevention, support and promotional initiatives.
Our Vision
We envision a world where community capacity fully supports the participation of local people in identifying and addressing their health needs.
We aim to identify, develop, nurture and sustain partnerships between interagency health and wellbeing solutions and communities.
Supporting Wellbeing by Connecting Communities
At ReachOut, every programme, initiative and connection is underpinned by our four main pillars. We lead with a person-centred, well-being first approach that keeps us focused and responsive to the needs of our people.
We're on your side
ReachOut acts as an interface between services and needs-finding. This means that we work to provide answers to difficult questions. We believe that the relationship between service provider and service user should be one of clarity, kindness and support. We’ll always prioritise your needs and listen to your voice.
We lead with compassion and dignity
Dignity, respect and kindness are in ReachOut’s DNA. These are the values that shape and drive us each and every day. We bring understanding and compassion to every facet of our work and we see the need for services that prioritise warmth.
We respect your experience
Each and every person that engages with ReachOut has a different experience that must be considered. We’re here to view your needs as personal and unique to your lived experience. We’re here to listen and respond with the help that will serve you best.
We connect with expertise and substance
Each of our programmes, initiatives and team members are fuelled by expert knowledge, and substance of worth. Our programmes are tried and tested, our methods are rigorously researched and we speak with authority based on 20 years of experience.
IT’S OUR JOB TO ADVOCATE FOR THE UNHEARD, THE OVERLOOKED AND THE MOST VULNERABLE
