Find out how you can object to a charity reorganisation.
Anyone may object to a proposed charity reorganisation
scheme.
OSCR must consider the content of any objections received. If an
objection is received, this does not mean that the scheme will
automatically be refused. Objections inform the process, but they
do not determine the outcome.
An objection to a proposed charity reorganisation scheme must be
made in writing. It must include:
- the name and address of the person making the objection
- the nature of their interest in the charity (if any)
- the nature of the objection and the reasons for it.
An objection can be sent to us by email or letter.
Content of objection
Please refer to the reorganisation summary on the OSCR website
and comment on whether in your view the matters described are
accurate. This appears in the charity's entry in the Scottish
Charity Register, under the heading 'Section 39 Reorganisation
Reports'. Give examples to support your view, where these are
available.
When to object
The latest date for receipt of objections by OSCR always appears
on the reorganisation summary. In all cases, this is 14 days
after the summary is removed from the OSCR website.
What happens with your objection
Copies of any objections received will usually be forwarded to
the applicant charity. The personal details (names and addresses)
of objectors will normally be given to the applicant charity. If an
objector wishes to have his or her personal details withheld, they
must tell us why. OSCR will decide whether or not this is
appropriate in the circumstances.
Objections should be sent to:
OSCR - Charity Reorganisation
2nd Floor
Quadrant House
Riverside Drive
Dundee
DD1 4NY
info@oscr.org.uk
To be considered, objections must be received no later than the
latest stated date for objection. Objections received after this
time will not be considered.
