Object:

The primary aim and objective of Linlithgow Link will be to work with volunteers, the community and the voluntary and statutory caring bodies in West Lothian, and in particular within Linlithgow, to provide a voluntary caring service in whatever manner it may be deemed possible; the services provided may include services to support and enhance the caring services provided by the statutory caring bodies in such manner as may be agreed from time to time between Linlithgow Link and the statutory caring bodies who provide funding to support the objectives of Linlithgow Link.

Operations:

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

The charity was established over 40years ago when a need was recognised to provide a transportation service for the elderly with health issues that have no means of attending hospital, GP and dental appointments. This continues to be a key service offered by Linlithgow Link and is provided by approximately 50 volunteers. Over subsequent years the charity has expanded its services which now include, befriending, Tuesday Group (an opportunity for clients to meet every week for games/arts and crafts/entertainment, coffee and cake) and Caring Cafe (an opportunity for clients with dementia and their carers to meet for entertainment, coffee and cake). These services offer companionship and support to older people in the community with the benefit of reducing isolation. In addition various day trips and special lunches are organised through out the year by a dedicated group of volunteers and committee members.

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.
