Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Under the management of Recovery Scotland North Lanarkshire and Forth Valley Recovery Communities host daily events and regular activities that support people in various stages of recovery from unhelpful addictive behaviours. Attendance is voluntary and the community is open to anyone who is seeking recovery, in recovery, has a family member affected by addiction or is a champion of our cause. The Recovery communities have been developed to complement treatment and support services and encourage involvement with any type of mutual aid. They are not an alternative for other interventions but run alongside these services to enhance and support the recovery journey. We also work along side psychological and justice services to provide specialist LE support and have an outreach team in FV to engage with those people who are hardest to reach.

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.
