REACH is excited about making a real difference to community health and wellbeing in Tayside, Lothian and Lanarkshire, and would appreciate all assistance in delivering ICHEE. We also welcome any suggestions and guidance with respect to the project.
Moreover, we have identified your organisation as being relevant to the objectives of ICHEE, and would like to speak to you further about possibly working together in order to benefit each other and the wider community who we both will be serving.
