Object:
Repair Cafe Glasgow (RCG) is a volunteer-led organisation which delivers free repair events and workshops within Glasgow, the surrounding area, and occasionally further afield, sharing skills with individuals to help them extend the life of their useful and/or sentimental possessions such as handheld household items, keepsakes, toys and textiles. Our charitable purposes are the following: The advancement of education Repair Cafe Glasgow contributes to the advancement of education through both formal and informal training and skills development for our volunteers. The nature of the education that we undertake is linked to our repairing activities and the running or our repair cafes. Participants are also upskilled at our events through the interaction with our teams, explaining the repair process, and, where appropriate, participants are encouraged to assist in the repair as part of the learning process. We extend this learning through repair and maintenance workshops open to the wider public. (i) the provision of recreational facilities, or the organisation of recreational activities Repair Cafe Glasgow increases the provision of recreational activities in Glasgow, the surrounding area and occasionally further afield, through holding regular and outreach repair cafes and other related activities. (m) the advancement of environmental protection or improvement Repair Cafe Glasgow promotes sustainable development through all three pillars; social, economic and environmental. Our activities aim to promote sustainable development both through our actions and our messaging. We tackle social aspects though creating a welcoming, inclusive route to allow communities to participate in actions that reduce waste going to landfill, which in turn contributes to reducing the impacts of climate change, and other negative environmental impacts. This reduces pressure on finite resources in our fragile environment, contributing to a more sustainable economic model.

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.
