Operations:

What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:

Erskine Arts is a community-rooted charity using culture as a catalyst for connection, resilience, and improved mental wellbeing. We provide inclusive, low-cost or free creative programmes that break down barriers to participation for people of all ages and abilities, with a strong focus on prevention and early intervention. Our activities include music and art classes, community choirs, wellbeing workshops, youth development, intergenerational events, creative sessions for adults with disabilities, and tailored support for neurodiverse children and their carers. We respond directly to local needs in an area that experiences high levels of social isolation and limited access to services. Our growing programme builds community confidence, reduces loneliness, and fosters self-expression and support networks. We are committed to sustainability through earned income, membership, local fundraising, and hire services.

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.
