Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Our charity is set up principally to make grants to charitable causes in Scotland. We do this by supporting projects in Langholm which make the town a better place in which to live and by making grants to talented young people in Scotland to enable them to fulfil their potential in sport. the arts and in education. The priority for the trustees is to reverse the economic, social and physical decline of Langholm. We have done this by purchasing derelict, redundant or simply vacant properties which have become an eyesore and refurbishing them to be made available to social enterprises, business start-ups and community organisations at affordable rents. Supporting essential community organisations suck a the local newspaper, theatre, sports clubs and primary and secondary schools. Supporting three major community projects - a community sports centre, building affordable housing and the creation of a country park on land donated to the town by the Duke of Buccleuch.

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.
