Object:
4 The organisation's purposes are to create a range of opportunities that encourage the public to engage in water based activities, particularly sailing either as members of the Sailing Club or on an ad hoc come and try basis through taster sessions and other publicly accessible activities. The outcome of this will be to encourage a greater uptake of participation in sporting activity with the additional benefits of improving the health and well-being to our local community as those further afield.
Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
The Training School, which runs RYA courses, has been busy, running sailing courses from introductory level 1 through to instructor level. We have also run power boat level two and power boat safety courses. We are always keen to see adults and children of all ages learn to sail and improve their skills and we run regular Sunday morning support and mentoring sessions, plus summer academies introducing youth sailing across all levels. The RYA also directly run training academies for Toppers and Oppies using our club facilities. Whilst we have also hosted an Enterprise traveler weekend. This allows adult and junior sailors from across the UK to benefit from our great facility. Once again we have hosted several major events including The Cancer Research Big Hike, The MacMIllan (cancer) Mighty Hike, The Challenger Traveler Weekend and The Scottish West District Open Water Swimming Championship. We can literally have hundreds of people on site on these occasions.

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.
