Aims of the Service
Our Outreach Service* aims to support people who may have difficulty living independently in their own home but could do so by receiving housing-related support. We are committed to helping you make a positive difference to your life and enabling you to live as independently as possible in your community.
Our Service is for adults, aged 16 or over, who live in Cheshire & Salford and who are D/deaf or D/deafblind. Our service is available to people who receive housing benefit, pay their own rent, own their own home, or are looking to live independently.
What the Service can offer
The ways in which we support service users may include providing advice and/or assistance with:
- Claiming correct benefits
- Managing bills and budgeting
- Find employment, education or leisure opportunities
- Understanding or managing a tenancy
- Maintaining the security & safety of the property
- Access appropriate healthcare services, for example registering with local GP & Dentist
- To be more involved in local services & community

* This service is sometimes known as Floating Support - it is not fixed in one place but provided to people in their own homes and intended to ‘float’ away when the support is no longer needed.
This service is funded by Supporting People through Cheshire West and Chester Council and Salford City Council.
