What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
We provide regular opportunities for local residents to grow, cook and eat food together, share and learn skills and knowledge, and celebrate together at large community events. We provide opportunities for people to connect with nature, through our activities (almost all of which are outdoors) and by hosting our community garden as a local outdoor community venue. We seek to support any local residents with ideas and initiatives that contribute to our charitable aims. We also seek to improve the quality of local open spaces, including for biodiversity and community use, by supporting residents' initiatives and engaging with relevant stakeholders. We are working to strengthen the development of a local food economy, for example through our community bakery (which provides local employment and training), and engaging with other local food growers and producers.

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.
