Reach Community Projects

Reach Community Projects believes in restoring dignity & hope

We believe that everyone deserves to live their lives to the full. However, poverty has a devastating effect on individual and family life. Debt, low income and homelessness can lead to mental health problems, relationship breakdown, low aspiration, marginalisation, poor health and low self-esteem.

The purpose of Reach is to tackle poverty in Haverhill and its surrounding villages, restoring people’s dignity and reviving their hope.

To assist us with our mission we run a number of projects and activities aimed at uncovering and resolving the root issues that our clients are experiencing:

  • Resource Centre – A drop-in centre and access point for all Reach resources, open weekdays, providing a warm welcome and practical help for people struggling with poverty, eg. housing, benefit, form completion, job searching and so much more
  • Money Advice – Free face to face debt advice for people struggling with debt
  • Foodbank – Emergency food for unexpected crises
  • Starter Packs – Essential bedding and kitchenware when someone literally has nothing
  • Client Aid – Financial assistance through donation based projects such as Acts 435 to provide essential items such as beds, white goods, gas and electricity
  • Reach into the Community – All of the Reach resources taken out to those that cannot get in to see us whether it’s because of ill health or geographical reasons.

Our key values are:

  • Generosity – If in doubt, we will always seek to be generous
  • Responsibility – This has to be coupled with responsibility both from the people we are helping and how we distribute the resources entrusted to us
  • Believing for better – Our current circumstances do not have to determine our future
  • Honesty – Just as we need the people we are helping to be honest with us, we too need to be honest about what we can realistically do to help them

Founded by River of Life Community Church in 2005, we initially founded a debt counselling centre. We went on to launch further projects in the fight against poverty under the name of Reach Community Projects and became an independent charity on 1st April 2017.

What our charity partners say

We’re so pleased to be working with Giveacar, to provide an easy and efficient way for everyone who’s passionate about mental health to support Mind. Over the years we’ve received over £29,000 from generous people who have chosen to donate the proceeds from their car to Mind. This amount of money could help Mind keep Side by Side open for 5 and a half weeks. Side by Side is Mind’s online community where anyone can join, talk and find support. 24/7. Right now, mental health support is needed more than ever. We’re so grateful to Giveacar and their customers for […]

Mind

Giveacar is a fantastic, innovative way for people to donate to Cancer Research UK. We are hugely grateful to Giveacar for all the amazing donations we have received. With Giveacar’s help, we will be able to fund even more research and get closer to beating cancer.

Cancer Research UK

We have been absolutely delighted to take part in the Giveacar scheme. We have had several cars donated to us through this scheme and it provides us with an additional way to riase very much needed funds to continue improving the lives of animals in The Gambia. It’s such an easy scheme to use and is easy for us as the charity, as well as being easy for th person who needs to scrap their car too.

Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust

So far, we have received an amazing £37,947.11 through Giveacar donations. Today, 771 million people don’t have clean water close to home and 1.7 billion people don’t have access to a proper toilet. Just £15 can help provide one person with safe water. Help us reach everyone everywhere with safe water, clean toilets and good hygiene by 2030. Thank you!
