What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
We are committed to making a difference to the lives of people in the local community and visitors. With free entry, free parking and an on-site café, it is an ideal place for a family day out. We are committed to ensuring that Craigtoun Park remains as a recreational and educational facility, readily available and affordable to the community. We rely heavily on the income generated by seasonal attractions and this will continue. However, as a charity we also rely heavily on donations, grants and funding for improvement and development projects. We have an ongoing program of projects to restore and enhance the park. We are developing educational programs and providing additional facilities. We intend to develop various buildings and areas within the park to enable greater community use. Maintaining the gardens is an essential part of respecting the park’s heritage and preserving the park's natural appeal.

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.
