Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
We have established strong links with SSAFA, the armed forces charity, Help for Heroes and Help our Wounded. These organisations provide valuable assistance to those in need. They do however require time for the formalities to be completed prior to releasing aid. We can provide immediate assistance up until the larger organisations can take over, thus reducing the anxiety often felt by those in need. Our assistance takes many forms. Moral support for those who are having difficulty in the move to civilian life by introducing them to other former service personnel with whom they can discuss their problems. Practical support by for example providing transport for hospital visits for relatives and dependants. Visiting those in hospital. Financial support, this takes the form of short-term emergency assistance while we arrange for the large charities to provide access to their funds Our minibus is extremely busy ferrying veterans, their families, dependants to and from hospitals

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.
