Operations:

What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:

We are a youth charity run by young people with a dedicated board. We bridge the gap between young people and the decision making process both locally and at the national level. We have worked with various third sector organisations and partners such as: Scottish Youth Parliament Young Scot Transport Scotland Education Scotland Renfrewshire Council Renfrewshire Youth Services Engage Renfrewshire We cover the entirety of the local authority area and as such we act as an umbrella organisation helping to represent, support and promote smaller youth voice groups/youth groups through our affiliate membership scheme. Renfrewshire Youth Voice (RYV) was established in 2003 in response to the absence of formal structures enabling young people to express their views across the Renfrewshire area. The organisation was created to ensure that young people have a meaningful voice in local decision-making.

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.

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:

the names of a charity’s trustees (exemptions apply)
its annual report and full accounts, if submitted after 9 March 2026
