What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
our charity has been running for 50 years this year and we still have one original committee member who is now 80 years old and still is very involved in running our charity. we heavily subsidise letting for smaller groups as the N.A.C pricing is a one for all system and does not suit everyone so we are the go between a person starting out with maybe only 5-10 attendees at a class then we would subsidise them to get them on their feet , we also provide some entertainment for the elderly residents of the area and for the last 3 years we have been providing hot lunches free for anyone on one day a week and we had over 75 people attend which showed us that there is definitely a need for food provisions as poverty is so high in our region as is unemployment. we have a monthly meeting on every 2nd Tuesday at 7.30pm and anyone is welcome to attend with any queries or ideas, we also have 3 committee members that are responsible for keyholding when needed.

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.
Copyright

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?
