4.1 To provide a place of safety for people who are at crisis point with thoughts of self harm/suicide.

What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
What: Ensure any young person in crisis is supported without delay or the need for any waiting list, providing a rapid response on the day whenever there is a perceived risk to life and provide the appropriate whole family support as needed. Also build the resilience of our young people and community in regards to mental health and suicide prevention. How: Increase in staffing has allowed us to maintain a no waiting list approach and every young person reaching out for support has been successfully guided through recovery and now has the copying strategies and resilience to maintaining their own mental health. We also offered family support to every young person’s carers and gave them the tools to also support their young person to a place of recovery and saftey.

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.
