Object:
Its purpose is to further the advancement of the arts, heritage, culture, citizenship and. community development by promoting and supporting the establishment and maintenance of a comprehensive Heritage Centre for the village and environs of Newhaven.
Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
We exist to promote, preserve and protect the heritage and history of Newhaven founded in 1504 by James IV of Scotland to build the largest warship of its day, The Great Michael. Subsequent to his death on the Field of Flodden, Newhaven lapsed into being a fishing village but has many key features throughout its history which we feel makes the village unique, The lessons to be gleaned exemplify how it supported and sustained their community through good times and bad. In the 60s and 70s, the then Edinburgh Corporation forcibly decanted the villagers, demolished the shops and housing to rebuild modern homes but only allowed a certain percentage of original residents to return thereby destroying an effective self-supporting and caring community, Newhaven Heritage feels that by educating the young people and new incomers about where they live should provide valuable lessons to be learned..

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.
