The Organisation has been formed to benefit the community of specifically Elgin but also the wider community of Moray (the "Community''), with the following purposes (the "Purposes"): ''To manage and maintain Cooper Park Bowling Club for the purpose of promoting Bowling for leisure and recreation purposes for all age groups with a view to increasing public ,participation through a range of events.".
Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
We are continuing to improve the aesthetics of the Club ground with improved access all around the green by hard pruning overgrown sections of the hedgerow. Removal of non native plants and trees from within the hedge and planting of evergreen shrubs will also make it easier to maintain and prune. A Club member donated a new entrance gate to the Club grounds making it much easier for our older members to open and close the gate. We secured funding from local grant bodies to purchase 4 sets of Junior Bowls which allowed under 12yo's to play at the club for the first time. We continue to promote the Club's existence within the Elgin community in the attempt to attract new members to the sport and act as a social hub throughout the summer months.

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.
