Our History
& Governance

A board of directors oversee's the management of the chairty and we report to the The Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR), an independent public body responsible for registering and regulating charities in Scotland. Its role is to ensure that charities operate in accordance with the law, deliver public benefit, and maintain public trust and confidence.
