Object:
The organisation is established for charitable purposes only, and in particular, the objects are: 4.1 To prevent or relieve poverty by providing practical opportunities to skill people who have been disenfranchised from society by unemployment, particularly those affected by addiction, mental health issues or a criminal record so that they may develop core skills required for the work place; 4.2 To advance education and learning by delivering work-related skills with other agencies and in the community for those who find it difficult to access training or work due to addictions, low self-esteem or a criminal record by the provision of training in skills to assist in obtaining employment; 4.3 To advance citizenship and community development by supporting those who find themselves socially and economically excluded and assisting them to reconnect with appropriate agencies and participate in their community through volunteering.
Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
The organisation is here to help people who have been pushed to the side to find their feet again. It supports physical and mental wellbeing by building confidence, improving personal health and hygiene and reducing anxiety, especially for those who struggle to find work or training because of addiction, mental health challenges, or a past criminal record. It also helps people learn practical, job-ready skills by working with local agencies and community groups, making training and employment feel possible again. Beyond this, it encourages people to reconnect with support services and get involved in their communities through volunteering, so they can feel valued, useful and part of something positive. We run skills based activities which include gardening, woodwork and art and craft.

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?

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

  • its annual report and full accounts, if submitted after 9 March 2026

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