Charities at risk of removal

Charities have a legal duty to submit accounts to OSCR within 9 months of their financial year end. The submission of this information increases accountability and transparency and helps to enhance public trust and confidence in the sector.

When charities fail to submit their accounts on time, and fail to engage with us about this, we have the power to remove them from the Scottish Charity Register. OSCR's powers in relation to these charities can be found in the Charities (Regulation and Administration) (Scotland) Act 2023.​

The table below lists the charities which are at risk of being removed from the Scottish Charity Register. We have given notice of our intention to remove these charities from the Register due to their failure to submit accounts and engage with us.

For those charities where we are unable to contact by usual means, such as by post or email, the table also includes a copy of the notice of intention to remove, and where appropriate, the subsequent decision notice.
