Reach Her Foundation is a registered charity (Charity No. 1213837) based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. We support women aged 18+ who are underserved, low-income and from diverse communities.

Our aim is to address health inequalities and loneliness, while providing practical support, education and opportunities to help women reach their full potential.

The impact we make

Healthy Women, Stronger Communities

We support women who are often missed by other services — because of cost, language, caring responsibilities, or simply never having been asked what would help.

40 – 60 women directly supported through our programmes.
