Operations:

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

Our vision is to create "better todays and brighter tomorrow's for Fife's lone parents and families in need". We deliver family support services that respond to the immediate needs of our communities to ensure children and young people are growing up in safe, warm and happy homes. All of our work is grounded in tackling child poverty with short-term fixes (such as heat & eat grants to tackle food and fuel poverty) and longer-term solutions (such as income maximisation and good employment). Through our projects our staff and volunteers engage families, support them on their journey and enable them to progress. We continue to identify emerging themes from our family support services and highlight key policy areas where systemic structural change is needed. Amplifying the voice of vulnerable families in Fife, Scotland and the UK. Through new initiatives we show our commitment to a change agenda.

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
