Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
We are a small local charity based not far from Stranraer town centre. We are easily reached from all areas of the town. For over 10 years we have developed a pathway for children and young people aged 3-16years from Stranraer and surrounding areas which supports them through different projects, providing both indoor and outdoor fun, active sessions. Children and young people in Stranraer grow up with Stranraer YMCA being a big part of their development. We provide opportunities and experiences they may not otherwise have. We work closely with all local primary and secondary schools to provide sessions in school time as well as our own sessions out with school hours. Over the years we have built strong partnerships with various other local organisations including quarriers, police Scotland, Dumfries and Galloway Active Schools, local housing associations, Dumfries and Galloway Leisure and Sport and Dumfries and Galloway Youth Work Services.

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.
