What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) exists so no one in Scotland suffers or dies because medical help cannot get there in time. Operating from bases at Perth and Aberdeen airports, SCAA’s life-saving crew of paramedics and pilots respond to time-critical accidents and medical emergencies throughout Scotland, 365 days a year. SCAA makes a difference - a patient’s chance of survival and full recovery are greatly increased if they receive the right medical care within the first hour of injury or illness. The fast response of SCAA and its ability to reach Scotland’s most remote and rural areas saves vital minutes when every second really does count. As a charity, SCAA relies on public donations to keep its service running, ensuring critical care is available to those who need it most, no matter where they are in Scotland.

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.
