Object:

The organisation is established for charitable purposes only, and in particular, the purpose is: To advance the education of young people and in furtherance of this: to encourage young people to become active participants in creatively using and building digital technologies; to provide a supportive environment in which young people can work collaboratively with their peers and with more experienced mentors to develop their digital skills and undertake individual and team projects; and to support mentors in building on their existing strengths and in acquiring new skills by working with young people, and to support them in demonstrating how they have developed personally and how they have made a positive impact.

Operations:

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

Prewired provides an unstructured but supportive environment for under 19s to explore and learn about computer programming and related topics. We have volunteers from university and industry with a wide variety of skills who volunteer their time to teach young people about computing. We primarily run regular weekly coding clubs on Wednesday evenings where young people can drop in to work on their projects independently or in groups with support from volunteer mentors. Occasionally we run structured workshops to introduce attendees to a new topic they may not have considered before. Over the summer we hold a Make-a-Thon, where the attendees are challenged to meet specific goals in a set amount of time; this is a really fun learning experience, with concrete outcomes. Sometimes we form teams to take part in national events like the FIRST LEGO League. Prewired is a place for young people to meet peers with shared interests which they can develop together.

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
(Accounts submitted prior to 9 March 2026 will be redacted, or may not be published, depending on the charity’s income level or legal form.)

These changes are designed to improve transparency across the charity sector in Scotland.
