These are taken directly from the charity's constitution. A charity's objects describe what the charity has been legally set up to achieve. They do not necessarily describe all of the activities the charity carries out in order to achieve these objects. Object:

It shall be in the power of the Trustees to provide such number of bursaries as they think fit tenable at universities or other educational institutions providing higher education from which blind or partially sighted persons are capable of deriving benefit. The bursaries shall be open to blind and partially sighted persons who are ordinarily resident in Scotland, provided that the Trustees shall, ceteris paribus, prefer candidates who are ordinarily resident in the City of Dundee or in the Parish of Farnell in the County of Angus. Each bursary shall be held for such period and shall be of such annual value as the Trustees may fix. In awarding the bursaries the Trustees shall satisfy themselves that each candidate to whom they make an award is of sufficient attainment to merit the bursary.

Charity accounts and constitution – what information do we publish?

From April 2016 we began to publish charities’ accounts, initially for those charities with an annual income of £25,000 or more, and for all SCIOs.

When a charity publishes its accounts on its website and has supplied us with a link, we have made this available. From late 2017, where the charity is a company, a registered social landlord or is also registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, a link is provided to the relevant regulator’s website where the accounts are made available. We accept no responsibility for the functionality, accuracy, or content of external websites – if you experience a technical issue with an external link, you should contact the charity directly.

You have the right to the following information under section 23 (1)(a) and (b) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, from the charity direct:

a copy of the charity’s latest statement of accounts
a copy of the charity’s constitution.

In addition to the above, a charity may also be able to provide you with previous years’ accounts and constitutions, although it is not obliged to do so. You can contact the charity to request this information using the contact details on the charity’s Register entry.
