The organisation’s purposes are:
(a) The advancement of education, particularly of Relationships, Sexual Health, and Parenthood (RSHP) education in Scotland for people over the age of 18:
Pillow Talk Scotland is dedicated to fostering a deeper understanding of RSHP through independent journalism, storytelling, events, and social media engagement. By producing high-quality,community-guided digital content, we aim to create a safe and constructive space for adults to explore these critical areas. Our focus on lived experiences ensures that our content resonates with and accurately represents the diverse backgrounds and perspectives of
our audience.
(b) The advancement of health: We are committed to promoting the mental and physical health of individuals by providing comprehensive and accessible information on sexual health, mental wellbeing, and healthy relationships. Our content is designed to educate and empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health and well-being, thereby contributing to the overall health of the community.
(c) The advancement of citizenship or community development: By fostering a diverse and inclusive community, Pillow Talk Scotland aims to build stronger, more connected communities. Our activities encourage civic engagement and community participation, helping individuals to develop a sense of belonging and responsibility. Through reading groups, events, and collaborative content creation, we promote active citizenship and support community development.
Pillow Talk Scotland is committed to creating an environment where individuals can freely explore and discuss issues related to sex and relationships without fear of stigma or judgement. Our platform encourages open dialogue and inclusivity, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background or identity, feels valued and heard. By promoting sex positivity, we strive to break down barriers and challenge societal taboos, leading to a more informed and accepting society.
(d) The advancement of the arts, heritage, culture, or science: Our storytelling and journalism not only educate but also celebrate the cultural and artistic expressions related to relationships and sexual health. By highlighting the intersection of these topics with arts, heritage, and science, we contribute to a richer cultural dialogue. Our work includes exploring the historical and cultural contexts of sexual health and relationships, thereby enriching the cultural heritage of Scotland.
Such aims will be pursued by:
(a) Publishing online content and journalism around the aforementioned topics, with a heavy focus on social media. (b) Creating and sharing educational resources on RSHP topics. (c) Organising events (from social gatherings to workshops) to foster a sense of community. (d) Promoting inclusivity and diversity within the group to ensure that all individuals, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, background, or ability, are welcome and respected.
Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
Pillow Talk Scotland is a volunteer-run SCIO that promotes confident, informed and compassionate engagement with relationships, intimacy and sexual wellbeing. We do this through delivering accessible workshops and public events, regular reading groups, journalism and creative resources such as zines and digital content. Our activities create safe spaces for diverse communities to learn, share and build confidence around sex and relationships. In 2024/25, we reached over 200 participants through nine events, co-published journalism, and produced resources including the “Pelvic Power” zine. Our work particularly supports people who are LGBTQ+, BiPoC, disabled or neurodivergent, contributing to wellbeing, empowerment and social connection.

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. |
