Alpha Community Outreach is our award-winning community enterprise. A highly-trusted provider to local authorities and professional services, we take our specialist Assertive Outreach support across Surrey and bordering areas, to wherever it's needed. We exist to bring positive support and intervention with an aim of making our communities safer, more inclusive places to live and work.
A lot of our work is around prevention, minimising risks and resource misuse. Providing a quality, dependable service to our clients against a backdrop of unprecedented pressures on the social care industry; we play a quiet, often unseen but crucial part in helping alleviate the mounting pressures on our county's social and healthcare resources.
We adopt a strong multi-agency approach, working with a vast array of local organisations, including Adult Social Care teams, Surrey Police and local councils. We also work for two Surrey CHaRMM (Community Harm and Risk Management) groups, where we provide support around individuals involved in anti-social behaviour.
We are a paid service and referrals are generally made via Social Services or CMHRS.

Hoarding
Alpha provide specialist support in hoarding situations. Locally, Alpha are becoming highly regarded in this emerging social area. We were integral to the development and launch of the Surrey-wide Hoarding Protocol in 2023.
Where possible we engage clients in the process of establishing a better home environment, thus reducing trauma and likelihood of starting the acquiring and hoarding process again.
