With the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) AGM due to take place in
October, it is good to see that the website now allows visitors to search by postcode.
It is only a small improvement, but it is progress.

 

As I wrote in a blog a few weeks ago, the AGM provides an opportunity to suggest
how the OSCR and/or its website can be more useful to fundraisers and prospect researchers.
Where the address is listed as a home address, the correspondent name should be 
given. Where it is listed as a business address, the name of the business and the
correspondent name should be given. It would be very helpful to include the names
of trustees. It would probably be more expensive to include a copy of the latest
charity accounts. However, if they baulk at such expense, they could probably negotiate
with Guidestar UK to make the information available to them. It might be slightly
cheaper that way.

If you do attend the AGM, do let us know how it goes.

 

All the best
