Object:
To promote and encourage general interest in the study and knowledge of history in the District, Parish and Town of Stewarton by obtaining and recording details of Stewarton and District past and present; collecting and preserving historical artefacts and exhibiting our collection to the public thereby providing advancement of education, community development and heritage.
Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
The Society’s main purposes are to hold Talks/presentations for members and others who may be interested, and looking after a local Museum which is open to the public. The presentations are held monthly September to May and the Museum is open for two hours daily Wednesday to Saturday. This is looked after by volunteers, some of whom are members and others who choose not to be. In addition, our museum is open by appointment particularly for overseas researchers and group visits. Overseas visitors, with earlier generations with links to the area, are often keen to identify where their forebears lived. In addition local, national and international genealogy research enquiries are often received and we do our best to provide assistance relating to local connections within the Society’s district. Group visits are often arranged with local Primary Schools and Stewarton Academy as well as with organisations like the Boys Brigade or Girl Guides.

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.
