To safeguard, protect and preserve the good health, both mental and physical of children and parents of children; To prevent cruelty to or maltreatment of children; To relieve sickness, poverty and need amongst children and parents of children; To promote the education of the public in better standards of child care within the area of Aberdeen and its environs

Operations:

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

Every parent wants to give their child the best possible start in life but often things can get in the way of that – things like poverty, poor parental mental health, lack of a support network, domestic abuse, relationship breakdown or having a negative experience of being parented. This is where Home-Start Aberdeen comes in. Our home-visiting volunteers provide support to young families helping to ease these pressures and assisting parents to deal with the barriers and challenges they face, helping to create a space where relationships can be nurtured and children thrive. Home-Start provides a breathing space for parents, helps to prevent family breakdown and supports social workers and health visitors who refer families in need to our services. We also offer peer support through our family group work and provide practical sessions in families' own homes to developing cooking skills, budgeting and shopping advice and raise awareness of good weaning and child nutrition.

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.

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:

the names of a charity’s trustees (exemptions apply)
its annual report and full accounts, if submitted after 9 March 2026
(Accounts submitted prior to 9 March 2026 will be redacted, or may not be published, depending on the charity’s income level or legal form.)

These changes are designed to improve transparency across the charity sector in Scotland.
