REACH Advocacy Scotland (Scottish Charity SC042475) is a grassroots rights-based peer charity based at Unit 47, Fountain Business Centre, Ellis Street, Coatbridge ML5 3AA. Registered in 2011, REACH developed the first SQA-approved human rights-based advocacy qualification in Scotland, accredited at SCQF Level 7. The organisation delivers education and training in human rights-based advocacy covering all protected characteristic groups, empowering individuals from vulnerable communities to understand their rights and advocate on behalf of others. REACH encourages trained individuals to apply for funding to establish human rights-based advocacy services in their own localities, ensuring sustainability and community ownership. The charity focuses on making rights accessible to populations experiencing discrimination, marginalisation, and social exclusion.
