What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
U-evolve exists to ensure that young people in Edinburgh don’t face mental health challenges alone. We work across the city, recognising that mental health impacts all young people. However, we focus much of our work in Edinburgh’s most deprived communities, where young people often face additional barriers to accessing the support, services, and opportunities that promote wellbeing. Our vision—co-produced with young people—is that all young people experience positive mental health and have access to inclusive, compassionate support when they need it. Our mission—also co-produced with young people—is to support them to feel better, build confidence in who they are, and develop tools to take control of their lives. We work alongside young people to understand their needs and design our services around their experiences. Each year, U-evolve supports over 200 young people who need space, connection, and the right support to improve their mental health and emotional wellbeing.

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.
