Our charity’s aims and purposes are to improve our local environment, children’s education and community cohesion and increase public access to Blackwood Estate and the SLC Core Path Network for recreation/education. In 2021 we undertook a community buy-out of 67 acres of ancient woodland (known as Loch Wood) in Blackwood Estate, for provision as a community woodland – we have now provided 4 new outdoor learning areas and are working to develop a fifth. We work with our local schools and community groups to provide outdoor learning and community activities.

No charity trustee information available
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.
