3. MISSION STATEMENT - The Irvine and District Pipe Band was founded to promote the art of Piping and Drumming within the Ayrshire area and that the tuition be free and membership be open to everyone regardless of religion, sex, age, colour or creed.

Operations:

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

The Band was formed in 1982 by five individuals (of which the two surviving are still members to date). Since its inception, the primary focus of the Band has been to provide quality piping and drumming tuition to members of the community entirely free of charge. The Band attained charitable status on 09 February 2018.. Our organisation’s charitable purpose seeks to offer free tuition to anyone - free from any discrimination – in our community. Our community is the entire North Ayrshire Council area, although it worth highlighting that we are the only organisation which presently offers piping and drumming tuition in Irvine, Dreghorn, or Kilwinning. The North Ayrshire School’s teaching system is non-existent in our immediate catchment area, meaning that our organisation is the only viable source of free tuition in the area. Considering that a large proportion (at least 50%) of our learners are drawn from communities which are feature on the bottom 20%, 10%, or 5% of the SIDM

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.
