What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
At the Social Enterprise Academy, we believe social entrepreneurs play an essential role in changing the world. We strengthen their role in local communities through transformational learning programmes that will increase their community impact. Our methodology and learning programmes do exactly that – enable Transformational or Triple Loop Learning: “learning that results in a fundamental shift in one’s worldview, which in turn leads to profound changes in thoughts, feelings and actions”. Transformational learning affects our understanding of ourselves, our relationships with other people and the wider world. As a result, learners are able to develop and harness the skills, behaviours and mind-sets they need to increase their individual, organisational and community impact. Our programmes are accredited, responsive to learner needs, and are delivered by experienced facilitators who are social change leaders themselves.

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?

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