What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
The North Merchiston Club has been operating for over 100 years and continues to play an important role as a community-based resource for local people, families and neighbouring communities. We strive to be supportive and responsive to community interests and needs, often exploring how best to tackle these challenges together. We bring people together in our community whether through participation in club led activities either sporting or non sporting, we provide space for other non club activities to provide their services within the community and lastly we have an open door policy for club members and non members to come along to our club cafe. Activities run are all inclusive from pre-school young people through our older retired community. We place people at the very heart of all that we do and, as our logo suggests, we aim to provide ‘A Place for Everyone’.

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.
