To advance the promotion of health in particular those living with dementia and their carers within Largs and to address their needs with reference to their disability. We help people living with dementia and their carers access the services and support available to them in the local community. We work closely with other organisations involved with dementia. We have designed an information booklet listing the local services available and developed our own website. We distribute emergency bottles to people to hold their personal information at home for emergency services and work with the police in this. We organise music events at care homes, celebrating memories of football events and run Tai Chi classes. We organise annual Memory Walk events where people can participate in memory of their loved ones.

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.

Charity accounts and constitution – what information do we publish?

The Scottish Charity Register contains key information about a charity’s operations and finances. This includes:

These changes are designed to improve transparency across the charity sector in Scotland.
