What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
The Trust was originally governed by a Deed of Trust established by the late Malcolm A. Mackenzie on 8 September 1962. The principal objects of the Trust are to assist aged and infirm persons residing within the former Burgh of Stornoway to enable them to continue to reside in their own homes and avoid the necessity for their removal to a public or other institution, such assistance to be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any welfare service which is offered out of public funds. Funds not utilised by the needs of the primary beneficiaries are offered to the Vestry of St Peter's Episcopal Church, Stornoway, as secondary beneficiaries.

No charity trustee information available
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.
