Object:
The organisation's charitable purposes are: 1. The advancement of arts through facilitating opportunities for young people and adults to become engaged with literature, poetry and creative writing, paying particular attention to supporting participation by people who due to financial circumstances, cultural background, and other intersectional forms of prejudice have been traditionally under-represented in arts and literary events and activities. The Wee Gaitherin will benefit the people of Stonehaven, North East Scotland, and also the wider poetry community throughout Scotland. And seeks to advocate for and facilitate the participation of people and communities in poetry and creative writing workshops, mentoring, readings, spoken word performance, inclusion in anthologies and exhibitions, thereby building confidence, enriching cultural life and community spirit and cohesion. 2. The advancement of culture by both preserving, celebrating, and generating traditional regional and newly assembling local cultures in Scotland through highlighting the vitality of Scottish and international poetry, and the diversity of languages-in-culture, including Scots, Gaelic, and more generally the variety of languages spoken and shared in contemporary Scotland, to new and receptive audiences across the Northeast region and beyond.

Information on details of charity trustees

From 30 June 2025, OSCR will begin 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 January 2026 to promote transparency and strengthen public trust in the sector.

Charity accounts and constitution – what information do we publish?

From January 2026, OSCR will begin publishing annual reports and accounts in full online once they are received. This marks a change from the current approach, where OSCR publishes accounts for certain charities, depending on their legal form and income, with personal details redacted.

When a charity publishes its accounts on its website and has supplied us with a link, we have made this available. From late 2017, where the charity is a company, a registered social landlord or is also registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, a link is provided to the relevant regulator’s website where the accounts are made available. We accept no responsibility for the functionality, accuracy, or content of external websites – if you experience a technical issue with an external link, you should contact the charity directly.

You have the right to the following information under section 23 (1)(a) and (b) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, from the charity direct:

  • a copy of the charity’s latest statement of accounts
  • a copy of the charity’s constitution.

In addition to the above, a charity may also be able to provide you with previous years’ accounts and constitutions, although it is not obliged to do so. You can contact the charity to request this information using the contact details on the charity’s Register entry.
