What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
St Vincent's chapel is a congregation whose purposes are to worship God and serve the local community. The chapel is part of the Diocese of Edinburgh in the Scottish Episcopal Church (SEC) and is subject to the Canons of the SEC and to the resolutions of its General Synod. St Vincent's pays an annual quota to the Diocese of Edinburgh. It is represented on the Diocesan Synod by our Priest-in-charge and Lay Representative. The normal pattern of worship is the 1929 Scottish Prayer Book Eucharist on Sunday at 10.30am. There is also Evensong at 6.00pm on Sundays, and Eucharist on Thursdays at 11.00am. An informal social group The Invincibles meet monthly. Many other enjoyable social events are organised to raise money for named charities. The building is extensively used throughout the year by external groups, particularly musicians and local residents. The Edinburgh Sacred Arts Foundation hosted several events at St Vincent's during August.

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.
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.
