Operations:

What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:

Crosshouse Children’s Fund generates fundraising income, primarily voluntary donations from various sources including individuals, companies, community groups and trusts, needed to achieve our charitable objectives through the making of grant awards. As partner Charity for the maternity, neonatal and paediatric units within University Hospital Crosshouse, we work closely with NHS Ayrshire and Arran senior management to identify the needs of patients and families. Together, we develop and bring to fruition fundraising propositions that align with the overarching objectives and priorities of the hospitals and related facilities and offer long term sustainability for key NHS needs, which are out with or beyond statutory requirements. The grants awarded fund medical equipment, play and distraction therapies, patient and family support services, facility enhancements and other projects in the hospitals whether one-off awards or ongoing services.

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.

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:

its annual report and full accounts, if submitted after 9 March 2026

These changes are designed to improve transparency across the charity sector in Scotland.
