Object:
The Trustees shall hold and apply the sum of �1 paid by us to them, and such other funds and assets as may from time to time be comprised in the Trust Property, in trust for the following purposes:- (a) Saving the lives of animals and improving their wellbeing by advocating for a just transition to stock-free/organic farming and other alternative land-uses which would omit the need to include farmed animals in agricultural systems entirely, therefore preventing their suffering. (b) Protecting and improving the environment by advocating for a just transition to stock-free/organic farming and other alternative land-uses which would free up more land for ecosystem restoration, enhance biodiversity, emit less greenhouse gases, cause less pollution, preserve and improve soils, and use less natural resources. (c) Advancing public health by promoting the adoption of a whole foods plantbased diet for consumers and a stock-free/veganic food system, which would help minimise the emergence of zoonotic diseases, mitigate antibiotic resistance, reduce the incidence of diseases related to animal food consumption and reduce exposure to pesticides in food.

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.
