Object:

The organisation's purposes are: To promote the benefit of young people [particularly, but not exclusively, those who are seldom reached] in Scotland by advancing formal and non formal education and furthering health and wellbeing according to the underpinning principles of international human rights conventions and charters and domestic equality and diversity legislation relevant to young people.

Operations:

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

Article 12 in Scotland works to equip some of the most marginalised young people with the skills and information necessary to empower them to operate as equal citizens at all levels of society. We undertake our work directly with young people, and those who work with them, across Scotland and the UK via conferences, events and rights and equality based training courses/resources and indirectly via our website. Article 12 in Scotland works to make human rights and equality a reality for young people, particularly those young people who are marginalised from the mainstream, via our learning and development, and rights/equalities/UNCRC awareness raising programmes - which are designed to build the capacity and social capital of some of the most marginalised young people in Scottish society. We deliver our learning one-to-one, in groups and online. Our work is underpinned by the values and principles of international human rights and equalities charters and conventions.

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.
