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

The Green Team is established to provide lasting and positive life-changing experiences to young people through engagement in environmental activities that enhance the natural environment, advance environmental education and promote social and mental wellbeing. The main objectives and activities focus on actively involving young people in environmental volunteering, outdoor education and improvements to their physical, social and mental wellbeing. Children and young people are given the opportunity to take part in a range of programmes, discovering and exploring the countryside, learning about the environment and their place in it, developing new skills and making improvements for the benefit of wildlife and people. Through a range of age appropriate programmes we provide increased understanding amongst young people of the processes of nature and encourage a respect for the environment that will engender care for wildlife and wild places through successive generations.

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.
