Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Shetland Street Pastors trains, equips and coordinates teams of volunteers from local churches. These Street Pastors care about the safety and wellbeing of the residents of, and visitors to, Shetland - specifically in relation to the nighttime economy. They are there to be a caring, listening and helpful presence in our streets and in communities across the islands. They do this through regular patrols in and around Lerwick Town Centre on Saturday nights between 10pm and 4am, as well as patrols at one-off events around Shetland when possible. During patrols, Street Pastors are there to chat with the people who are out in the patrol area, as well as providing support and signposting to those needing help.

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.
