What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
VisionPK supports people of all ages across Perth and Kinross who are blind, partially sighted, Deaf or hard of hearing. We help people live independently and confidently, participate fully in their communities and enjoy a good quality of life. We provide person-centred information, advice and emotional support; specialist rehabilitation; low-vision and equipment assessments; assistive technology; and training in daily-living, orientation and mobility skills. Our Sensory Hub, community outreach and home visits make support accessible, while social activities, peer groups and telephone befriending reduce isolation and improve wellbeing. We also support families and carers, raise awareness of sensory loss and work with statutory, voluntary and business partners to ensure people receive the right help as early as possible.

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.
