Operations:

What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:

The charity is set up to promote archaeology and, more generally, historical heritage in Tayside and Fife by bringing it to as broad an audience as possible. All of the trustees are volunteers and the only trustee to receive a fee for work undertaken on behalf of the charity is Derek Hall who edits our annual peer-reviewed journal. In addition to producing a free to access online journal and a Newsletter, TAFAC organises an annual conference featuring recent archaeological work in the area. The charity has always strived to keep the ticket price for this event as low as possible. The annual conference is a live event as well as being accessible online. The trustees hold three business meetings and an AGM each year. One business meeting is held at an actual venue whilst the other meeting are held on-line. The charity also has an active social media presence.

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.
