What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Scalpay Community Association was set up in 1964 to support the social, educational and wellbeing of the residents of Scalpay and wider community. We are a registered charity (SC052626) and own the village hall and land it sits on. Our island community lacks a modern, warm, safe space to meet and come together. Winter for our facility is expensive and the building is almost not fit for purpose. Elderly residents like to meet weekly for hot food and friendly chats however we are soon to lose our kitchen approvals due to damp and mold. Children use the old sports hall within our building but that too is leaking. We are an island off the main island of Harris and 8 miles from Tarbert, but fuel and social poverty means few children can travel to facilities there. To support children, we completed a refurbishment with local funds of the Scalpay Playpark. In 2025 we plan to refurbish land to create an all-weather sport surface with local fundraising and funds from local companies.

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.
