What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
EC Students' Association is here to represent all students at Edinburgh College, which means what we do adapts to suit the needs of students. That can be working on big issues that affect everyone, like how much money you have in your pocket. It can also be about commenting on the standards of facilities, teaching spaces, or the quality of food on campus. Our tag line is "Powered by students, driven by values, committed to better" and that really is our mantra. The elected student officers are the student voice when it comes to representing you in and out of the boardroom, but it doesn’t stop there. We work on a one-to-one basis with many students who walk through our office doors, on a range of issues impacting their student experience. We also run lots of activities throughout the year that are fun and all about giving you great experiences & opportunities, such as: Welcome Week Class Rep Meetings Student Fridges on campus Societies and Activities Volunteering opportunities

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.
