Operations:

What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:

ILM Highland was founded in 1994 to provide support and advice to vulnerable people in our community, enabling them to maintain a higher level of independence and a better quality of life. We support our community through our home improvement services, providing free access to specialist tradespeople and advisers to the elderly and those living with a disability – giving them a greater sense of freedom to make homecare decisions that will have a positive impact on their day-to-day lives. Since our beginnings in Easter Ross, we now boast 30 full time staff and a team of volunteers delivering our services throughout the North of Scotland, across the Highlands, Ross-shire, Sutherland, Lochaber, Caithness, Skye and Lochalsh, Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Moray. In addition, we provide an electrical waste recycling and reuse service for the Highland area, collecting household and business electrical and electronic equipment to be disposed of responsibly..

From 09 March 2026, OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees as part of its Scottish Charity Register entry. We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises. If the charity trustee information on a Register entry appears blank, this may mean that an exemption applies or that the charity has not yet provided the required details to OSCR. Supplying this information will become mandatory as part of future annual submissions.

From 30 June 2025, OSCR began collecting charity trustee information through OSCR Online. Providing this information is a legal requirement for all charities. The names of trustees will be published on the Scottish Charity Register from early 2026 to promote transparency and strengthen public trust in the sector.

Charity accounts and constitution – what information do we publish?

The Scottish Charity Register contains key information about a charity’s operations and finances. This includes:

the names of a charity’s trustees (exemptions apply)
its annual report and full accounts, if submitted after 9 March 2026
(Accounts submitted prior to 9 March 2026 will be redacted, or may not be published, depending on the charity’s income level or legal form.)

These changes are designed to improve transparency across the charity sector in Scotland.
