Object:

The objects of the Charity are to advance heritage through preserving and restoring for public benefit the historical, architectural and constructional heritage that exists in and around Dumfriesshire and the Stewartry of Kirkcudbrightshire and in Scotland generally in buildings (including any part of a building, and any other structure or erection) of particular beauty or of historical, architectural or constructional interest ("the Objects")

Operations:

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

DHBTis a ‘Building Preservation Trust’ (BPT) with charitable status. As such, it is in a position to raise and co-ordinate various forms of finance such as grants from central and local government; low-interest loans from the Architectural Heritage Fund; and donations, gifts in kind, and concessionary loans from companies, charities and the general public. The primary aim of the trust is to rescue and preserve and restore historic buildings in and around Dumfries (and potentially across D&G) that are at risk of decay or depredation that could lead to their being irreparably damaged — or lost forever. Trust develops and operates a ‘revolving fund’ for the restoration or conservation of historic buildings, to enable their continued and sustainable use. We exist principally in order to save high risk, low return historic buildings in which nobody else is prepared to invest. The Trust keeps a watching brief on historic buildings at risk locally, and encourages their care.

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.
