What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Crow Road Free Church provides means and opportunity for Christians to meet regularly for worship, teaching, discipleship and fellowship by two worship services on a Sunday, including provision of a creche and teaching for nursery age children through to secondary age, and two mid-week meetings. We run various small groups designed for all ages and stages of our attendees, as well as for non-Christians to explore their faith. We aim to reach out and meet the needs of our local community by providing a weekly Warm Space, all run by our own volunteers. We provide support to other individuals and organisations with a similar ethos, both in the UK and overseas.

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.
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.
