Object:
The organisation's purposes are: The advancement of citizenship or community development (including rural or urban regeneration and the promotion of civic responsibility, volunteering, the voluntary sector or the effectiveness or efficiency of charities) by making Nether Lochaber a better place to live work and visit through, but not limited to, the provision of flower planters throughout the area, maintained by volunteers; organise volunteers to clean and tidy the area on a regular basis; provide and maintain facilities such as information boards, benches, community orchards and picnic sites for the use of locals and visitors alike.

What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
The NLCA aims to improve how those who live, work, or visit experience this part of Scotland. To this end we have created new facilities such as a multi-table picnic site overlooking Loch Linhe and various community garden spaces including a small orchard, rose beds, and large number of planters spread across the area. We have worked with UHI to create a Geotourist audio tour featuring local stories, together with an interactive Google map. We have also taken a small amount of land into community ownership when appropriate; we now maintain a small disused cemetery next to the main road and have a 200-year old barn in Inchree which we hope to convert into a heritage centre. These have in turn supported projects involving local artists and community, e.g. to create a large mosaic at the entrance to the cemetery. We also organise community events as and when we can; recently we hosted several evening "gatherings" with food and live music & readings.

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.
