What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
The charity was set up as "a fund of last resort" in 2023 to help families and individuals who had nowhere to turn to in the event of a financial emergency situation, or who had exhausted all avenues of possible public/government support. A similar fund operated in Moray during Covid, and it brought home to the Trustees of that fund who are also trustees of this charity, an acute awareness of the poverty prevalent in the Moray area. A website was set up and online donation and application forms were created. Business and individuals responded with generous donations which then allowed the charity to launch in July 2023. Other than very small payments of £240 for marketing materials the only outgoings for the charity relate to grant awards made to individuals and families. All applications require to be supported by a professional referrer eg Moray Council Money Advice Team, Social Work, Health Visitor who have an awareness of the financial emergency.

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.
