What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Cupar Old Parish Church was initially set up to provide Presbyterian education to the natives of Cupar and this has evolved through the ages where ,whilst religion is still at the forefront of our activities ,it has now become much more community based since our hall was renovated 10 years ago and whilst we seek payment for commercial rents we make the hall available for other charities at little or no charge. at all.. Many of the charities-and a number of others appreciate that "religion is not an essential to hire our hall and we have seen a trickle of those who attend these classes now attend Worship services and become in the wider work of the Church

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.
