What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
PICTS is a Scottish charity dedicated to reducing poverty, supporting wellbeing, and strengthening community resilience. We do this by providing practical, stigma-free support through our Community Hub, where people can access food, clothing, care packs, social connection, and wellbeing help. Our Veterans Section offers a welcoming space run by veterans for veterans, with essentials, guidance, and community. Our Outreach Team meets people where they are—on the streets and in shelters—offering warmth, meals, essentials, and human connection. We also support families through Wee Yins, providing baby essentials for new-borns. The Dora Community Orchard brings people together to nurture wellbeing, learn skills, and build sustainable community spaces. Across all our work, we focus on dignity, inclusion, and long-lasting change.

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.
