The Trustees do not engage directly in charitable activities or projects. The main activity is grant-making. By support of other charities the Trustees aim is to provide public benefit by ensuring that the front line charitable activities of those organisations can be sustained. The Trustees make distributions of income to other registered charities (whether in Scotland or elsewhere in the UK) which come to their attention but may also make direct financial support available to talented individuals who are musicians or students involved in the arts and culture, particularly music.

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.
