What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
During the reporting period (November 2023 to October 2024), TLC remained firmly focused on supporting individuals and families affected by poverty, primarily through the continued delivery of our food bank services. Alongside this, we addressed the growing and often unseen impact of loneliness and social isolation—issues that can have profound consequences for mental health and wellbeing. In response to ongoing pressures caused by the cost-of-living crisis, we also worked closely with our partners to provide financial and energy advice, ensuring those in crisis had access to practical, timely support

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:

  • its annual report and full accounts, if submitted after 9 March 2026

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