What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Lingo Flamingo uses the power of foreign languages to support older adults in care homes and day centres. Research shows that language learning can increase our cognitive health, we therefore deliver inclusive and accessible foreign language classes in care homes and community centres to increase the cognitive health, well-being and self-esteem of our students. Since launching in 2015, we have provided over 8,000 classes to over 6,000 older adults across Scotland. In addition to our outreach work in care homes and day centres, we provide community language classes to increase the knowledge and cultural awareness within our local community. The ‘nest’ was launched in 2018 and since then we have offered classes to over 5,000 local residents. For more information, please view our social impact report which is attached to our annual accounts.

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.
