What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
We perform three concerts annually at Ayr Town Hall: one in Autumn, one Christmas concert and one Spring concert. Our rehearsal season with weekly rehearsals usually spans from late August until late March/early April. In addition we organise annual "Come and Sing" days or weekends inviting participants from far and wide. Smaller groups of our choir perform a late Spring concert in a different venue (last few years this was done at Glasgow Cathedral) and at local venues like Belleisle Conservatory (Make Music day and Carol singing), Carol singing at Culzean Castle and Carol singing at supermarkets to raise funds for our partner charity Whiteleys Retreat, a charity offering support to families with children affected by life altering conditions.

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.

Charity accounts and constitution – what information do we publish?

The Scottish Charity Register contains key information about a charity’s operations and finances. This includes:

These changes are designed to improve transparency across the charity sector in Scotland.
