Local Branch Events

Meet and connect with other families at our local branch events.

Our branch events are organised by our volunteer Reach Branch Coordinators who are committed to helping families meet each other and share their experiences. This might be a Christmas Party, summer picnic, something more adventurous like a trip to a Climbing Centre or High Ropes course and sometimes even whole weekend events: In 2024: Reach on the Beach, Swansea, Patterdale Activity Centre, Cumbria, and a Family Weekend in Scotland! All the family are welcome to all Branch events, and the costs are subsidised by the fundraising our members undertake. We have branches covering the whole of the UK and a sister organisation in Ireland!

I would love to thank the Reach charity for making it possible to meet other REACH families. The kids had fun and it helps parent know their children can still take part in activities irrespective of their limb difference.

We had an incredible time at Reach on the Beach. The families we met are lovely, Children super cool and the Reach team nailed it. The surfing was a great experience and my Reach son had an incredible boost of self-confidence. Especially getting up on his surfboard. Polzeath is stunning! Can’t wait for the next one.
