What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Financial Domestic Abuse Scotland was founded to expose and challenge financial abuse as a hidden but devastating form of domestic abuse. We raise awareness of how financial control, coercion, and systemic failings compound abuse, often leaving victims without remedy. Our work combines survivor-led advocacy with direct engagement of lawmakers, regulators, and human rights bodies. We highlight lived experience to show how police, courts, and insolvency systems can enable abusers, and we campaign for reform so victims are not silenced by process. In practice, we submit evidence to parliament, government, ombudsmen, and the United Nations, while soft-launching public awareness through social media. We cannot give legal advice, but we use our knowledge and lived experience to steer victims away from dead ends and wasted time. Looking forward, we aim to fund a free legal advisor and expand awareness campaigns so survivors’ voices drive systemic change.

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.
