What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Cove in Bloom work to improve and enhance the area of Cove & Altens. We aim to make this an attractive and enjoyable place to live as well as celebrating the history of the area. The three historical industries are farming, largely in the Altens area; fishing, based in the old fishing village beside Cove Harbour; and quarrying, on the hillside above the harbour. In addition to the floral enhancements, we’ve added various displays to commemorate these industries, horse drawn ploughs and other implements for farming, standing heritage stones for quarrying, and a sculpture based around Isie Caie, who was the last fishwife in Cove, for the fishing industry. Further, we have a reminder of our more recent heritage by way of the oil industry ornaments at the community garden on Cove Road. We look after numerous beds, planters and other areas.

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.
