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

The Waterside & Moscow Community Association, (WMCA) works hard to bring all people across both villages and outlying dwellings together through organising social events and community-benefit activities. Some examples of these but not exclusive to are; litter-picks, summer BBQ, seasonal celebrations and projects which maintain or improve local amenities. We carry the aim of encouraging a supportive community spirit and a sense of belonging. Promotion is actioned via email, newsletters, word of mouth and social media. While participants are given an opportunity to donate funds to support community activities, the Association actively tries to foster inclusivity by asking no or little charge for its events. The Waterside and Moscow Community Association is run entirely by local volunteers and always welcomes suggestions for future events. We actively seek funding to allow us to continue our mission.

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?

its annual report and full accounts, if submitted after 9 March 2026
