OUTREACH SERVICE
About Community Outreach
We do not only provide support to the residents of our supported housing facilities. We also offer a community outreach service to support vulnerably housed individuals to maintain a tenancy and access the right support, thus preventing homelessness.
Our team have years of experience in supporting vulnerable people with complex needs and have good links with a huge network of support across mid Cornwall.
We provide short term support (typically up to six months) with independent living skills and the self-management of health and wellbeing for people in the St Austell, Newquay and Padstow area.

2015
Cosgarne Hall Wins Charity Bank’s 2015 Impact Award for Innovation in connection with our pioneering the use of Naloxone in Supported Accommodation. This recognises the dedication and determination of the team at Cosgarne Hall in developing accommodation for homeless people in Cornwall with a wide variety of complex needs, including those suffering from drug addiction.
It’s wonderful to see people with complex needs not just being given housing, but a community and a home. You are the safety net under every other safety net when people don’t have much further to fall.
