What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
As a Third Sector Interface our main purpose is to provide support to and representation for 3rd sector organisations (TSO’s) across Aberdeen City. We represent them in a range of local forums and at a national level via the TSI network and with Scottish Government to ensure a strong 3rd sector voice within local & national planning structures. We support building the capacity of TSO’s directly with funding, governance, finance services and volunteering to achieve positive outcomes. Our Policy Officer interacts with stakeholders regarding new government policy, consultations etc on matters which directly impact TSO’s. We provide leadership, vision and co-ordination to the 3rd sector to better respond to local priorities, including through partnership and collaboration. Our comms team publishes a monthly news update and opportunities bulletin to help inform the 3rd sector in Aberdeen on all relevant matters. We also administer grant funds on behalf of the Scottish Government.

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?

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