Transparency & Governance

Reach Rainhill C.I.C. is built on trust, and trust demands transparency.

We work with young people, families, and communities across St Helens in spaces where emotional safety isn’t a given. That’s why we hold ourselves to the highest standards of safeguarding, inclusion, and accountability. This page brings together the key documents, registrations, and governance structures that shape how we operate.

Whether you're a parent, professional, funder, or young person, we want you to see exactly how we protect, support, and learn together.
