The McCandlish Hall Committee is dedicated to managing The McCandlish Hall as a welcoming well-maintained community hub for the village and surrounding areas. Our mission is to provide a vibrant, accessible space where residents can come together, connect, and participate in a wide range of activities, from social gatherings and local club meetings to educational workshops, fitness classes and family celebrations. As a rural community, Straiton relies on the hall as a central place for reducing isolation, supporting local traditions, and offering a venue for essential services and events that might otherwise be out of reach.

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.
