Object:
(b) The advancement of Education It is clear from teaching in deprived areas that children have no exposure to animals other than the odd family pet. The Lois Sherret Trust aims to provide an immersive environment where children can learn about animals, see them up close and hear fundamental facts such as habitats, food chains and life cycles. Also fostering emotional and social learning through promoting empathy and compassion around dealing and caring for the animals. Teaching the children how to show respect for living things and providing valuable insight into the lives of animals which they may not have had a chance to encounter otherwise. (g) The advancement of the arts, heritage, culture or science Children will be shown and read the book in Scots language as it is written. This will enhance awareness of the Scots language among young children, who may never have had exposure to this previously. An overview will also be given in relation to the meanings/translation of the words and terms used to promote a fuller understanding, this will be enhanced by a question-and-answer session around how the words and phrases could be used in everyday life.

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.
