Our Vision

Our vision is for a flourishing charity sector in which the public has confidence, underpinned by OSCR's effective delivery of its regulatory role.

The Charities Reorganisation (Scotland) Regulations 2007 enable charities that are unable to reorganise or make changes to their constitutions, to seek approval from OSCR do so.
