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

The Argyll Convention was set up to promote biblical teaching and education to the people of Oban and visitors to the area, by means of presentations and workshops delivered over the course of three days. If required, children have their own Kidzone, activities provided by disclosed experienced adults, drawn from local churches. People are encouraged to respond to the challenges of the Gospel and to further explore the Christian faith for themselves. The Convention is planned and organised by the Committee who usually meet monthly to discuss the current year's theme and content. The Chair, Vice-chair, Treasurer and Secretary adhere to the legal requirements of holding an event, with regard to Insurance, Copyright, Disclosures and Annual examined Accounts submission. All helpers are volunteers, including the musicians, singers and worship leaders. The Speakers and Workshop facilitators are paid.

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?

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