What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
The charity was set up to regenerate what was a historically significant, but later neglected, part of the town. Its objectives were to develop the harbour area as a community asset and use it to broaden awareness of the value of its maritime heritage and natural environment. This was, and continues to be, achieved through involving the public in activities such as coastal rowing, using boats built by the group, our annual Harbour Festival and Solstice Walk, and regular harbour markets, along with craft workshops and environmental activities such as water testing and bird counts. We now have the funding and plans to move forward in the development of the building and land we were able to acquire and are looking forward to fulfilling the long standing ambition of bringing these into purposeful use for the benefit of all.

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.
