What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
MND Scotland was founded in 1981 to support people affected by motor neuron disease (MND) as well fund research into treatments and, hopefully, a cure. We are here to make time count for people with MND, because they don't have time. We support people by helping maximise their income, by helping make sure their statutory provisions are being met, by providing access to free counselling, and free wills and power of attorney, and by providing grants to individuals. We also campaign on their behalf to try and improve the systems they have to navigate. In addition, we fund research into understanding MND, and evaluating potential new treatments through a clinical trial platform - we want the future to be a world without MND.

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.
