Object:

The organisation’s purposes are: The relief of poverty; The prevention or relief of suffering and distress caused by poverty through the compassionate provision of food and other practical support and services required by the communities we serve in the Stirling Council area, working in partnership with other regional agencies while maintaining the dignity of our beneficiaries.

Operations:

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

Help those facing hardship within the Stirling council area. This was initially done with Starter Packs, working alongside Stirling Council. Then we opened up Foodbanks providing crisis food support across the council area and now running 8 foodbanks every week alongside a delivery service for rural and infirm clients. Seeing a need for more than just food in the area, our foodbanks have expanded into hubs to provide support and pulling in other organisations to help our clients. Finally, we have piloted a counselling service in our rural communities.

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 names of a charity’s trustees (exemptions apply)
its annual report and full accounts, if submitted after 9 March 2026
