What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
We have developed a vision for a Care First World and aim to create that world with others. This is a world where Care for the well-being of people and the planet comes first. Money is used to make well-being possible. Everyone can provide for their basic human needs and develop themselves. We care for the Earth, which provides us with so much materially. We receive and share the gifts of the Earth with each other. Our work focusses itself on our money, survival, and work issues — what money is and how it works in our world. We explore our tensions, fears, and conditionings in relation to money and transform these to build a relationship with money that serves us. Shifting from feeling victimised by the world of money and empowering ourselves to becoming a creator of the life we want. We do this through workshops, private sessions and started a magazine call "Care First World", where we share uplifting news to strengthen the heart.

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.
