What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Arbroath Connections offers support to those with mild-mid-stage dementia and their families. We offer a place where individuals, their unpaid carers and families can access expert led support, meet people and take part in a range of stimulating and fun activities. Our centre is open 3 days per week between 10-3pm and we have 15 places available per day. We have a staff team of 4 and are supported by 8 volunteers. Our activities include baking, playing games, which promote physical and cognitive health, stimulating discussions, music and singing sessions and arts and crafts. Carers can access one to one or group support and also benefit from respite knowing their loved one is being cared for in a safe environment. We follow the Meeting Centre evidence based model of support and link in with other meeting centres and Meeting Centres Scotland.

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.

Charity accounts and constitution – what information do we publish?

The Scottish Charity Register contains key information about a charity’s operations and finances. This includes:

These changes are designed to improve transparency across the charity sector in Scotland.
