Guest host for Open4Business Jay Baughan - Social Entrepreneur in Residence at the University of Northampton speaks to The Reach for Health Centre.

The Reach for Health Centre Ltd has been a registered charity since 2010 but located and operating within Daventry since 1994.

For over 28 years, The Reach for Health Centre model has evolved, specifically focused upon working with those experiencing various minor to major health conditions and providing extensive prehabilitation and rehabilitation services to members who have reached the end of available NHS care provisions. This is enhanced by community health facilitation which reduces NHS costs, by focusing upon use of its leading-edge methodology and practice to support community Active Healthy Ageing.

With the strategic support of the University of Northampton’s social entrepreneur in residence, having established the scalability of the Daventry Centre as a viable “social business model”, the Trustees seek to create geographic clusters of 5 centres within  five areas of England. Here how they see more communities can benefit from a Reach for Health centre support, and how this will transform community health and save the NHS millions of pounds in future years.
