This data will support OSCR’s regulatory work, and from early 2026, the names of charity trustees will be published on the Scottish Charity Register to promote transparency and strengthen public trust in the sector.
Employability Day 2025:“Inactivity to Opportunity to Good Work”
Friday 20 June 2025 marks Employability Day 2025 – an opportunity to showcase the impact of employment support services, with this year’s theme focusing on “Inactivity to Opportunity to Good Work”. Last year, we highlighted the value of the third sector as supportive, diverse, and meaningful environment to start and develop a career – and we feel this new theme compliments this further by showcasing some of our resources which directly support individuals and groups on their journey with employability.
