The website of the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR – www.oscr.org.
uk) asks visitors wanting to search the register to complete a survey about the 
website. One of the questions is “What further information would you like to see
available on the Register?” I think that this is an ideal opportunity to ask for
major improvements to the site.

I would like to be able to see the name of any business that acted as correspondent
listed on the entry for the charity. I want to be able to see who are the trustees
and officers, and to know what other charities they might act for. I also want to
see a copy of the latest accounts, at least, ideally the accounts for a few years.

The register contains details of trusts based throughout the UK, and that fund projects
throughout the UK, and beyond. I think that we need to be able to have a good old
rummage. Meanwhile, I shall continue to monitor Guidestar UK (http://guidestar.org.
uk), as it is always possible that they might include information from OSCR on their
website.
