Thames Reach

Thames Reach champions a wellbeing programme. It is continued at the annual staff conference, when there are sessions on self-care, tai chi, aromatherapy and emotional resilience. Last year's conference was particularly welcome, as it was the first time staff had got together since the beginning of the pandemic.
While many within the homelessness sector have left the National Joint Council pay scheme because of its comparatively higher pay rates for front-line staff, Thames Reach remains on the scheme. It conducted a pay review to make sure its rates were competitive, leading to some staff being given a pay rise.
The charity has an equality, diversity and inclusion group, which has representatives from every project. The group reviews incidents and reports about staff and clients. it has an open and informal feel that engenders discussions about issues affecting staff on the front line, such as racist and homophobic abuse from clients.
