Object:

2.1 This clause shall be interpreted as if it incorporated an over-riding qualification limiting the powers of the Company such that any activity which would otherwise be permitted by the terms of this clause may be carried on only if that activity furthers a purpose which is regarded as charitable; the expression “charitable” shall mean a charitable purpose under Section 7 of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (including any statutory amendment or re-enactment for the time being in force) which is also regarded as a charitable purpose in relation to the application of the Taxes Acts. Subject to that over-riding qualification, the Company’s objects are to benefit British and foreign seafarers, ex-seafarers and intending seafarers and their families and dependents and the communities in which those people live and work in Scotland by: 2.1.1 by the advancement of the Christian religion; 2.1.2 the advancement of education in relation to the Christian religion and navigational and nautical subjects including shipbuilding, telecommunications, marine and electrical engineering and other subjects relating to ships and the training of seamen and intending seafarers; and 2.1.3 the relief of poverty and distress.

Operations:

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

We have supported seafarers in Scotland in ports and via our helpline and chat line. We have also supported them through the parent charity's Wellness at Sea products and its peer-to-peer groups which our Scottish staff assist in providing. The Wellness at Sea programme gives Scottish seafarers the tools to manage issues like loneliness, money worries, stress and relationship breakdown before they turn into a crisis needing help and advice. We also give monetary grants to those in need.

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 Scottish Charity Register contains key information about a charity’s operations and finances. This includes:

the names of a charity’s trustees (exemptions apply)
its annual report and full accounts, if submitted after 9 March 2026
(Accounts submitted prior to 9 March 2026 will be redacted, or may not be published, depending on the charity’s income level or legal form.)

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