What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
The church's primary charitable purpose is the advancement of religion, specifically the Christian faith. This faith inspires and informs and provides the motive for all of the church's services and activities. The church loves and serves God by showing the same love and service to those around the church. Faith convictions provide an essential foundation and guide to life, but true religion as properly understood, will always issue forth in a love for others and a desire to serve the local community and foster and promote the well-being of the individuals and groups within this. We provide facilities for public worship and prayer, the opportunity for personal reflection and spiritual development. We raise awareness and understanding of the Christian faith and how its beliefs and practices can provide help, encouragement and guidance in every aspect of life and work. By doing this, the church achieves its charitable purpose of advancing religion, specifically the Christian faith.

No charity trustee information available
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.
