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

As a Group Training Association, EKGTA was setup to fulfill a requirement of the 1964 Industrial Training Act and was originally setup by the Government of the day. The purpose and core activity of the Charity remains the same as it was at it's Incorporation in 1966. The way we do this has also not changed very much in the now almost 60 years since the Charity was formed, we still serve the Member Companies interests and provide Training and Education to Apprentice Engineers even though the Training programs have evolved and developed in keeping with innovation in the Engineering Industry.

No charity trustee information available
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.
