Operations:

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

We give gifts, treats and holidays, or as we call them “Sparkles" to Children with Cancer. This could mean they are in treatment, in remission or their family are bereaved. Applications come directly from families or via their Oncology Social Worker or Specialist Nurse. Applications are considered on an individual basis, dependent on need and recipients may be supported on more than one occasion, depending on circumstances. We liaise with the Nurses in Scotland during Christmas and Easter to deliver Sparkle Gift Bags to all the children who are in treatment, in Highland, Grampian and Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh. We spread awareness of Children’s Cancer and Sarcoma by having information on our Website, by signposting organisations for further information and support. We share information and tag relevant Children’s Cancer organisations on our Social Media platforms. We speak publicly about Abbie’s Sparkle Foundation and take part in specific awareness months.

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.
