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

Friends of the Broadway Ltd. is a charity dedicated to restoring and reopening the iconic Broadway Cinema for community use. After 12 years of effort and 5 years since incorporation, we successfully brought the cinema into community ownership this year. Our mission is to preserve this historic asset, making it a hub for culture and local engagement. Through a mix of volunteer efforts (over 5000 hours donated) and strategic funding, we’ve begun essential restoration and organisational development. Our focus is to secure further funding, engage the community, and turn this disused building into a vibrant, community-driven space.

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
