What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
• The work of IREF(India) was supported from the UK through the sponsorship of 37 Repalle-based children, 29 CDC children, 4 student nurses, 10 village workers and 6 teachers, plus various other designated and undesignated donations. • Three remittances of funds were made to IREF(India) during 2025 via our sister organisation IREF(USA); a fourth quarterly remittance was not possible due to some technical issues with IREF(India)’s bank account which we hope will be resolved soon. • A Medical Team from the UK travelled to India in January 2025, for which substantial funds were raised. • Our supporters were kept well informed of the activities of IREF(India) through quarterly newsletters and through a regularly updated IREF Facebook page. • The trustees met twice during the year (via Zoom) and kept in touch in between via emails. • IREF(UK) continues to work closely with our sister organisation, IREF(USA), exchanging information on a regular basis. • A Safeguarding policy was drawn

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.
