Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Scottish Youth Theatre (SYT) is a national young artists’ development organisation. Established in 1976, our purpose is to collaborate with young theatre artists to create experiences and events that reverberate in their lives, their communities and their country. We bring young artists (aged 14-25) together from across Scotland and also work with young people from specific areas to respond to their local theatre skills and career development needs through creative projects and traineeships. The staff team work in a distributed model (with no central office) supporting the delivery of work across Scotland. Each project we produce provides young artists with space, care and creative stimulus to explore theatre and make new performance work on their own terms. Participants are in control of the creative process and the work they make is their opportunity to interrogate and reflect on things that matter to them.

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.
