Object:
4 The organisation?s purposes are to provide humanitarian aid to support people in need due to natural disaster and conflict. Specifically, the charity will provide equipment, supplies and finance that have been donated to the charity or that have been purchased using donations. This equipment and supplies will be delivered directly to the communities that are in need of support. People who are affected by natural disaster and conflict often require transportation, allowing them to reach safety, transport urgent supplies such as food and medicines or to be moved to where they can receive appropriate care. The charity will therefore focus on the provision of transportation, such as ambulances, emergency response vehicles, pick-ups and fire fighting vehicles.
Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
We donate vehicles and aid to humanitarian organisation in Ukraine. Vehicles are either donated or volunteers fundraise to purchase a vehicle which they then drive out (full of aid) to Western Ukraine under our strict supervision and with very strong risk management protocols and guidance. These are then donated to a local charity which ensures the vehicles are then donated to local humanitarian causes.

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.
