To further our main charitable purpose we provide short term accommodation for women (including non-binary persons) with no recourse to public funds (NRPF) in spaces includes our dedicated shelter. Further we are a specialist 'by and for' service run by the beneficiaries of the service and who have lived/living NRPF experience. To achieve our objectives we provide trauma informed holistic wrap around care which includes access to a minimum of six sessions with our in -house specialist trauma counsellor, immigration lawyers, GP services, clothing, toiletries and culturally appropriate food. We also provide weekly 'cost of living' grants for our guests until such time as they regain/resume access to Home Office support and travel expenses. In addition to our accommodation services, we run a busy office for our 'Recovery as Reparations' group interventions managed by beneficiaries - who have since been granted refugee status and have a right to work.

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?
