What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
The Edinburgh’s Netherbow SCIO brings together public, private and charitable organisations in the Netherbow area of Edinburgh to advise and support the Edinburgh UNESCO City of Literature Trust on its work to enhance Edinburgh’s Literary Quarter: the Netherbow of the Royal Mile. Our aspiration is to develop the honeycomb of buildings, gardens, closes and streetscape in and around the Scottish Storytelling Centre and John Knox House, to create a calm and welcoming space, introducing literature and art into the streetscape, and provide space for seats and for digital engagement. A programme of consultations has provided guidance on the nature of activity, commissions and event programme to be developed in the location. The ambition is to connect deeply with Edinburgh’s residents of all ages, and create a year-round focal point, which will make connections across the literary community.

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.

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:

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