What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
The Friendship Cabin is a community based charity in Glenrothes that supports older adults and local people through social activities, games, music and shared meals. The organisation provides a safe, welcoming place to reduce loneliness, improve well being, and build friendships while promoting inclusion, fun and positive connections within the community. The Friendship Cabin directly supports good health and wellbeing by combining physical activity, mental relaxation and emotional connection in a safe and supportive environment.

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.
