Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
We run a community Shop: Local residents can purchase items at a reduced cost, this is not a foodbank and we have been able to keep this going for over 2 years by applying for funding on a regular basis. Defibrillator Maintenance: This requires periodic funding for replacement pads/batteries. Committee members also check the machines on a regular basis and ensure they are keep online on the Circuit website. Pathway Maintenance: Members of the public identify walkways that they feel need maintained - grass cutting, strimming or similar. Volunteers carry out these tasks and equipment is paid for and maintained by the development trust. We administer a micro grant for local groups to apply to for additional funding up to the value of £500, these funds come from South Lanarkshire Council. We received funding to provide transport to local hospital and out patient appointments. This is due to us living in a rural area where the bus service is not very efficient and limited.

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.
