What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
VisionPK is the only charity in Perth and Kinross solely dedicated to supporting people with sight and hearing loss. We help individuals maintain independence, build confidence, and access the practical and emotional support they need to live full lives. Our specialist rehabilitation team works primarily in the community, often visiting people at home to assess their needs and recommend equipment or strategies to make daily living easier. Early intervention is central to our approach, ensuring people understand their condition and have support as it progresses. We also provide social and activity groups to reduce isolation, improve wellbeing, and restore community connections, as well as a telephone befriending service for those in rural areas. Our sensory hub offers information and guidance and is often the first point of contact for anyone seeking help with sight or hearing loss.

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.
