What is REACH?
REACH Community Health Project has been an innovator in the voluntary sector through its development of a triangulated approach to the health needs of the Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) community at both the grass root and strategic level.

| REACH's Triangulated Formula |
Founded in 2001 by Shehla Ihsan REACH is dedicated to bridging the gap in healthcare services for BME communities across Scotland. REACH's vision is to see multi-cultural societies in which all people have equal access to appropriate health services. Its mission is to empower BME communities by ensuring that their health needs are fully met. In keeping with this, REACH strives towards working for the BME community from the young to mid-range age and older people in partnership with statutory, private and other voluntary organizations.
Our objectives are:
- To provide a range of good quality, culturally-sensitive preventative health services.
- To facilitate change within mainstream policy and undertake innovative research so as to identify and remove barriers to health for BME communities.
- To provide cultural diversity training to mainstream, voluntary and private sector organisations working with BME communities.
