What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
East Ayrshire Women’s Aid supports women, children and young people who are experiencing, or have experienced, domestic abuse. We aim to support women, children and young people from the point of crisis right through to safety and independence. We support over 500 women, children and young people every year. We provide individual and group support, safe refuge accommodation and support to resettle and stay safe in a new home. Our support to children and young people aims to help them make sense of their experiences of domestic abuse and to move on in a constructive way, as well as meeting others with similar experiences and having fun. We provide learning and awareness raising opportunities for practitioners, young people and communities and play an active role in multi-agency responses to domestic abuse through the East Ayrshire Violence Against Women Partnership.

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.
