Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Our core values are based around word, prayer, fellowship, and witnessing. Word relates to teaching Christian truths and values from the bible to help our members grow in faith and wisdom while also introducing new visitors to Christian beliefs. This takes place via weekly services that take place on a Sunday morning and evening. We have further weekly meetings and occasional events throughout the year that also seek to achieve this aim. Prayer takes place during our services and is the main focus of a midweek meeting when we come together to pray for personal, local and international matters. Personal and small group prayer is also encouraged. Fellowship relates to the support we give to one another and also to the community, through friendship and practical support. Finally witnessing takes place through community events where we seek to get to know our community and make them aware of the services we offer.

No charity trustee information available
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.
