OSCR appoints new Chief Executive
Following an external recruitment process, the Scottish Charity Regulator is delighted to be able to announce that Maureen Mallon will be the new permanent CEO. She has been the interim Chief Executive since January, and will be taking up the new appointment immediately.

With our Chair, Lindsay Montgomery CBE well established and Maureen now in post, we have a great opportunity to build on our past successes. We can make sure that OSCR continues to develop its role and impact as a strong, enabling regulator and to build the public’s trust in charities.
