Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Our charity was set up to offer practical support to families with childhood cancer. Our short term goal was to provide grants to every family when their child is diagnosed. To do this we hold two events every year to raise funds to achieve our goal. We also have supporters who arrange individual fundraisers or make requests to organisations to support our mission. Thanks to our fundraising efforts in year one we are now providing grants to families who are referred to us. However we are working hard to increase our fundraising efforts to ensure that we have funds to provide a grant to every family. Our long term goal is to set up a helpline to offer emotional support to families however we are not currently in a position to set this up but this will remain our focus.

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.
