What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
BACC was set up to promote and support climate care in the ML12 6 postcode area. We do this by holding regular mobile repair cafes in community centres and village and church halls across the area to reduce landfill and increase the lifespan of electrical and other household goods, toys, jewellery, furniture, garden equipment etc. We also provide professional home energy assessments, freely available to any residents of the area for the three years of our funding, and thermal imaging of hot and cold spots in homes, provided free of charge by our trained volunteers. These initiatives reduce energy use by providing householders with information on heat loss avoidance, ventilation, maximising energy efficiency and other home improvements to reduce CO2 emisions. In addition to our two main projects, we host regular bike maintenance and repair clinics across the ML12 6 area and we attend a range of information events hosted by partner agencies to promote climate care and our work.

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?
