What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Kibble’s origins date back to 1841 when Miss Elizabeth Kibble, a textile heiress, left a portion of her wealth to establish the first incarnation of Kibble – a reformatory school for disadvantaged boys. While Kibble has evolved over the centuries, its purpose remains the same, to support those young people most in need. Today the charity, and leading social enterprise, provides dedicated care and support for children and young people aged 5-26 across the UK, many of whom have experienced significant trauma in their lives. The charity provides a safe, stable environment that is both nurturing and trauma-informed. With a robust network and wide range of integrated services, Kibble tailors support to the needs of each young person. Services include residential and community support, as well as dedicated education and wellbeing services. As Kibble continues to diversify, it does so with the vision of developing further innovative, high quality approaches to support more young people.

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.
