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

The aim of the Fun Hut is to provide a safe, stimulating and friendly environment where children and their carers can relax and enjoy themselves in good company. To also encourage and enhance the development of children by offering them stimulating toys and activities, and access to safe outdoor play areas. The group runs twice a week, usually runs outdoors, to help children and their grown-ups build confidence in an outdoor setting, with an indoor option available if required to ensure sessions can run whatever the weather. Some of the expected benefits of encouraging outdoor play include building confidence, being physical, using imagination, being creative, learning about the environment, emotional growth, and having fun! Stimulating toys, safe and engaging play areas, stories, singing and healthy snacks are provided for all children from babies to preschool children both outdoor and indoors.

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.

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.
