Keeping in contact virtually

Did you know that Reach has many social media platforms to make sure that we can be seen and heard by as many people as possible, this helps us raise our profile for new members and to health professionals.

Reach also has 12 Closed Facebook groups, these allow our members to be able to talk in absolute confidence to each other and feel safe.  They are a forum to discover new inventions, policies, laws, they answer queries about worries parents may be having, they spread the good news of the achievements of our Reach members and the Branch groups add depth to local branch members being able to talk directly to each other.

Check out our social media sites.
