What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Fèis Arainn is a festival of traditional music, Gaelic culture and language. We offer traditional music tuition and a Gaelic arts experience to young people from the age of eight. Fèis Arainn began in 1993 as a week-long event for Arran High School pupils. It has since grown into a successful festival that attracts many participants each year. The four day event which happens during the school holidays in July is a highlight in the calendar for many island children, this year we had 90 participants. In addition to the fèis week in July we also offer weekly fiddle lessons to school children and ensemble and small group traditional music workshops for more experienced musicians in the High School. The fèis brings children from across the island together along with their families for community events such as the Tutors Ceilidh and Participants Concert

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.
