**Scottish regulator OSCR has created a logo for charities to use to show the public
that they are on the Scottish Charity Register.**

The [charity registration logo](http://www.oscr.org.uk/charities/managing-your-charity/registration-logo-media-pack)
can be downloaded from the OSCR website and is for use on websites, email footers
and other electronic media. It invites people to check the charity’s status on the
OSCR site.

The logo is strictly for registered charity use only. Users are asked to link the
logo to their entry on the Scottish Charity Register and not to use it on print 
or display material, or in any way that could imply the OSCR’s endorsement of any
material or its content.

The OSCR is also reminding charities that use the logo that they must still also
abide by the [Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005](http://www.legislation.gov.uk/asp/2005/10/contents),
and its [supporting regulations](http://www.gov.scot/Topics/People/15300/Localism/Charities/CurrentLegislation).
