What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Irvine Valley Parish Church is the Church of Scotland congregation covering the towns of Darvel, Newmilns, Galston and surrounding areas. The primary purpose of the church is to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ through our regular worship and witness. Our services are open to all to inspire and encourage people in their faith journeys and to nurture discipleship. We minister to families through our regular Messy Church. We are also called to serve our community in Christ’s name and we take this responsibility seriously. This includes the pastoral and spiritual care of members in their own homes, care homes and hospitals. However, we seek to respond to all human need through loving service by supporting local and national charities and by running community events. Our suite of halls provides affordable well-equipped venues for local groups to use. In addition, the Church also provides weddings, blessings and funerals and the minister acts as chaplain to five schools.

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.
