Operations:

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

We are a small charity based in Riverside, Stirling entirely made up of volunteers. Our board is made up of five trustees, who are also volunteers. They are elected at the AGM each year. We started in 2019 with a mission to protect and enhance the green spaces in Riverside with bio-diversity and environmentally conscientious planning and management. We look after a Community Orchard, two riverside woodland gardens, the bee bed and other smaller projects. We host regular volunteer events to look after all the spaces and extra fun events - such as our Blossom Afternoon Tea and Orchard Day and participate in outreach events including supporting the local primary school and other local groups.

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(Accounts submitted prior to 9 March 2026 will be redacted, or may not be published, depending on the charity’s income level or legal form.)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.
