What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
“To be a Christ Centred Community, with a vision to see people fully alive and help the world flourish” We believe that community exists at the heart of who we are, a community that gathers around Jesus and our faith in him. From the strength of community, we look outwards, beyond ourselves seeking to serve, bless, and help others – to see them flourish. This might be as we provide food for those who can’t put food on their table, help people who are lonely, care for those who are struggling or help people develop the spiritual side of their lives, promoting wellbeing, wholeness and life.

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.

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:

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