Object:
The purposes of the SCIO are:- (i) The advancement of education, community development, the provision of recreational facilities, or the organisation of recreational activities, with the object of improving the conditions of life for young people aged 18-35 to access training programmes with a view to:- a. improving self-esteem and confidence through the provision of positive experiences with the view of aiding young people in engaging with society and integrating into the working environment; b. promoting teamwork and professional skills for young people; c. mentoring young people in their career path and promote sustainable careers and livelihoods; and (ii) to promote similar charitable purposes, objects or institutions in such proportions and manner as the Trustees think fit.
Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Covid and all it's associated issues had a particularly detrimental effect of young people contributing to 18-35yr olds now having the fastest increase in mental health issues with a number of young people feeling that the "ladder of life" had been kicked out from under them. The Charity was set up to help get that ladder back up and to give those young people the self-esteem and confidence needed to get into or back into sustainable livelihoods. We have been doing this using sail training as the vehicle to help those applying achieve a sailing qualification and also to help them rebuild their self-esteem and regain their confidence. We have had 79 young people successfully go through our course.

No charity trustee information available
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.
