What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Scope was established for the promotion of the equality, diversity, independence and health of disabled people, especially those with cerebral palsy. We won’t stop until we achieve a society where all disabled people enjoy equality and fairness. We are determined to change the future. Together, we are a collective movement of disabled people, campaigners, donors, volunteers, communities, and businesses. We work every day to challenge attitudes and end disability inequality. Our strategy for An Equal Future with disabled people is a ten year strategy focusing on three long term goals: ending the disability price tag, closing the disability employment gap and transforming attitudes. We do this by providing help and support to disabled people and their families and campaigning and influencing others including partners, employers, the government and the general public.

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:

  • the names of a charity’s trustees (exemptions apply)
  • its annual report and full accounts, if submitted after 9 March 2026
    (Accounts submitted prior to 9 March 2026 will be redacted, or may not be published, depending on the charity’s income level or legal form.)

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