Object:
The SCIO will promote, advance and further charitable purposes by providing a range of services (including, but not limited to, social, recreational and educational activities, counselling and support, care, advocacy and advice) to support the evolving needs of disabled children, young people (without applying any prescription as to age), and their families who live on or come to the Isle of Bute. In doing so, the SCIO will also provide or assist in the provision of facilities for recreation and leisure activities so that the lives, education, experiences and opportunities for those disabled children, young people and their families may be improved and supported.
Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Achievement Bute is a small, SCIO (Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation) which was set up in 1998 by parents and family members of children with disabilities living on the Isle of Bute, an island with around 6300 inhabitants off the west coast of Scotland. Responding to the lack of inclusive local options parents wanted to ensure that their children could be supported to live fun, ordinary and fulfilling lives in the local community. We seek to achieve this in a number of ways including: individual direct support for children with additional support needs and disabilities through our Care Service which is registered with the Care Inspectorate; a Confidential Counselling Service open to all island families with a child with a disability, which provides emotional support particularly at the time of diagnosis and seasons of transition; and a programme of inclusive children’s clubs and school holiday events open to all children on the Isle of Bute.

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.
