As a Development Trust we are a community owned and led organisation which uses a combination of enterprise and creativity to improve the quality of life for people living in the Findochty and Buckie [FAB] area. We support people in our community to come together to address local issues through collaboration and partnership working. Our goal is to enable social, economic and environmental renewal of our locality through capitalising on funding opportunities, income generation from trading for social purpose, and community ownership of buildings and land. In common with other development trusts in Scotland, we always aim to do this in ways which are ecologically sound, economically viable and socially just. All of our intended activities are community led and as such will vary over time according to the needs of local people and their priorities identified through ongoing community engagement and research.

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.
