What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Wick Development Trust was set up in 2019 by a group of local business people as a community trust in the form of a not-for-profit private limited company for Wick town centre. In 2021 Wick Development Trust became a registered charity under the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator, registration number SC051307. The long-term strategy of the Trust is to support and enable the regeneration of Wick town centre and to stimulate economic recovery and growth in the town by making Wick a town where current and future businesses can thrive and expand, which will help to lower unemployment and reduce poverty in the area. The Trust also aims to take on business opportunities that will enable it to be sustainable so that all profits can be reinvested back into the town in the form of urban regeneration community projects.

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.
