Object:

4.1 The charitable objectives of NBCFRs are to save lives by: a) Enabling our volunteer NBCFRs to be despatched by the SCOTTISH AMBULANCE SERVICE (hereafter referred to as SAS) control centre, to respond to appropriate calls. b) Bridging the gap from the time when a 999 call is made in the North Berwick area, and the arrival time of an emergency ambulance response. c) Only attending calls/incidents within the North Berwick agreed area, for which they have been trained, in accordance with the current SAS procedures. d) Working within the guidelines, policies and terms of agreements set by the SAS, for volunteering responders. e) Assisting the SAS where necessary with the selection, training and assessment of volunteer First Responders, as well as the provision of on-going training and assessments, as guided by the SAS. f) Aiming to provide North Berwick area with cover from NBCFRs, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. g) Working in association and where necessary with other relevant bodies, for example the Community Resilience and Emergency Planning Group.

Operations:

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

support the work of the Scottish Ambulance Service Community First Responders team centred on North Berwick. The charity has effectively been in suspension until the operational group returns to normal working. Since the beginning of the pandemic, when its operations were suspended, the operational group has reduced to one volunteer responder. Scottish Ambulance Service is committed to recruiting and training more volunteers, whereupon the charity will seek to support their activities.

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?

The Scottish Charity Register contains key information about a charity’s operations and finances. This includes:

the names of a charity’s trustees (exemptions apply)
its annual report and full accounts, if submitted after 9 March 2026
(Accounts submitted prior to 9 March 2026 will be redacted, or may not be published, depending on the charity’s income level or legal form.)

These changes are designed to improve transparency across the charity sector in Scotland.
