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

EMMS International is Scotland’s longest-serving international healthcare charity. Since 1841, from our base in Scotland, we have set out to heal the sick in some of the poorest communities in the world. Today, we continue to improve health, in India, Malawi, Nepal, Rwanda, Scotland and Zambia. We do this through a multi-faceted approach, developing healthcare resources via education, improving infrastructure and the environment, tackling inequalities and discrimination, and so empowering the vulnerable. We help families in countries challenged by poverty to gain access to a range of healthcare, and help break the cycle of poverty and injustice by creating sustainable healthcare solutions with our partners. We stand with some of the most vulnerable in society to promote justice, giving them power over their own lives by providing them with an education to earn a living, whilst creating a stronger health service which helps protect their local environments.

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?
