The Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) has published a new interactive report which shows information about new charities added to the Scottish Charity Register.

The report, which is updated weekly, highlights new charities added over the last month and the last week. At a glance, viewers can see information about these charities, including their charitable purpose, their location and legal form.

The report makes it easy to see trends and key information. The latest figures show:

• 24% of charities registered in the last month operate in Glasgow City.
• Almost half (47%) of charities registered in the last month have “the advancement of education” as their charitable purpose.
• 90% of the 10 new charities registered in the last week have the SCIO legal form. 

Additionally, by hovering over each "dot" on the map, viewers can click on the name of the charity to be taken to the charity’s Scottish Charity Register entry. This allows viewers to see specific information about each newly registered charity.

Marieke Dwarshuis, OSCR's Board Chair, said:

"We’re delighted to launch this interactive report, which brings greater transparency and accessibility to the Scottish Charity Register. By highlighting newly registered charities in this way, we aim to support public understanding and confidence in Scotland’s charity sector.

"Whether you’re a third sector professional or simply curious about charitable activity in your area, this tool makes it easier than ever to explore the latest developments."
