WE ARE ALL HUMAN,
WE ALL HAVE RIGHTS.
At REACH, we make rights accessible through our workshops & approved SQA training which is accredited at level 7 by SCQF.

OUR STORY
We have always believed education is the gateway for creating lasting social change.
We formed REACH Advocacy in 2010.
By 2013 we had received SQA approval of the Advocacy Practice Award.
By 2015 we had achieved approved training centre status, allowing us to put individuals through our SQA accredited Award.
It wasn't until 2017 when we first secured funding from the Big Lottery, allowing us to deliver the first dedicated rights- based advocacy service for substance use and mental health populations. Alongside this, we also facilitated our accredited SQA Advocacy Award within communities.
Following successfully completing our Award, graduates established the first dedicated rights based advocacy service within Argyle and Bute (LASS) In October 2020.
In 2021 we were fortunate to be funded by Drug Death Task Force (DDTF) to deliver Human Rights Based Awareness workshops & Accredited rights based training to workforce and communities across Scotland. Part of this collaborative project with Public Health Scotland is to disseminate awareness of the new Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Standards within a wider Human Rights Based Approach.
