Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Firhill Youth Project and Community Sports Hub is set up to provide a range of accessible, affordable and sustainable opportunities for local young people to participate, coach or volunteer in rowing, kayaking and other physical activity. We do this by offering a range of sessions free of charge to both a core group of regular participants and by working with partner organisations to deliver individual sessions or short term projects tailored to their needs. The project runs April - October due to the outdoor nature of our activities and during this time we employ a lead coach, in addition to part time sessional coaches who run the activities. The operational staff are supported by a volunteer board of trustees who oversee the strategic and governance of the charity.

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.
