Reach 4 Reality is a small Christian voluntary organisation

Reach 4 Reality is a small Christian voluntary organisation which seeks to improve outcomes for young people, living in the Highland area, who have social and communication challenges such as autism.

Reach 4 Reality organises activity days and weekends for up to 4 young people at a time, accessing various outdoor activity centres in Highland. Volunteers work alongside young people, in a ratio of one-to-one, to support the young people on activities to develop their confidence and social skills within a holistic view of health and wellbeing. 

This is a wonderful volunteering opportunity for anyone who enjoys outdoor activities, shares or is comfortable within a Christian ethos and would like to make a difference to the wellbeing of young people with social and communication challenges. Training is provided to volunteers and they can become part of a small ethos-based organisation which takes the same care and interest in the volunteers as in the young people accessing the service.

The time commitment is not great. It is recognised that volunteers cannot commit to each weekend and so dates are shared in advance so that people can choose dates they are available. There is usually one weekend away per month and some activity days throughout the year. It is hoped to offer an annual activity week.

If activity weekends are not for you, but you would like to support the work in some way, we are keen to recruit new members to the Board. The Board holds one two-hour meeting every 6 to 8 weeks.
