Operations:

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

Our strategy centres on three linked priorities. First, it will strengthen social and economic connections by running regular activities that reduce isolation, supporting local businesses through events like farmers’ markets, improving transport and active travel links, and creating a vibrant community hub and shared workspace. Second, it will celebrate local history and enhance the environment by recording and sharing village stories, adding heritage and nature-led features such as interpretation boards, planters, and parks, and offering hands-on ways for people of all ages to enjoy and care for nature. Third, it will build a strong, transparent, sustainable Community Development Trust, with an engaged and diverse board, robust governance and volunteer systems, responsible financial management with diversified income, and clear communication that evidences impact to the community.

*OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees and its principal office address as part of the charity’s Scottish Charity Register entry. They are also required to publish the annual report and accounts for each charity, including the names of some individuals. The only exceptions to this are where a charity or one of its trustees applies for this information to be excluded from the Register entry and where OSCR is satisfied that if it were published then the safety or security of a person or premises would be jeopardised.

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.
