Operations:

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

Minard Community Trust owns and manages Minard Village Hall and the former shop building. The efforts of the Trust are focused on ensuring the ongoing maintenance of both for community use. Community events are hosted by the Trust such as the Community bonfire and fireworks, Beach Clean, Litter Pick, BBQ and Pantomime. We continue to promote local group activity and worked, with many volunteers from the local community, to maintain an outdoor seating area at Minard foreshore and we helped to facilitate groups utilising the Hall. We made successful applications to A'Chruach Community Fund –Windfarm Micro Grants to facilitate the replacement of planters within the community area at Minard foreshore and to facilitate ongoing works to the Jubilee Garden at Minard Foreshore and the Achagoyle bridge foot path. We continue to promote kindness within the Community with ongoing assistance where required. Treats were delivered around the village at Christmas time.

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.

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.

Charity accounts and constitution – what information do we publish?

The Scottish Charity Register contains key information about a charity’s operations and finances. This includes:

the names of a charity’s trustees (exemptions apply)
its annual report and full accounts, if submitted after 9 March 2026
(Accounts submitted prior to 9 March 2026 will be redacted, or may not be published, depending on the charity’s income level or legal form.)

These changes are designed to improve transparency across the charity sector in Scotland.
