What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Return To Life is a charity based in Paisley that supports people living with chronic kidney disease, those on dialysis, people who have had a kidney transplant, and their families. Many people facing kidney illness feel frightened, isolated, and overwhelmed, especially when dealing with long-term treatment and major life changes. Our charity exists to make sure no one has to face this journey alone. We do this by providing friendly, peer-to-peer support from people with lived experience who understand the physical, emotional, and practical challenges of kidney disease. We offer a safe and welcoming space where individuals can talk openly, share experiences, access information, and receive encouragement. Alongside emotional support, we help people better understand their condition, navigate services, and feel more confident managing their health and wellbeing.

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.
