Operations:

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

To design and build a war memorial, with community gardens and a wildlife corridor for the community of Linwood, having researched those who fell in war and conflict and were born, lived or worked in Linwood at the time. To achieve this we have negotiated an in perpetuity lease of land under the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act. Works are being procedures to clear the land of fly tipping, litter and overgrowth of ivy to develop the community gardens and improve the biodiversity of the area. Engagement across all local community groups and schools enables learning from our research and activities around the site. Community participation in the design development and fundraising for the project are well established from ages 3 to 94.

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?

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