How We Can Help

Our team can provide advice to help you to run your organisation well and meet the requirements of the Scottish charity regulator, OSCR.  

We offer funded training courses for organisations in Edinburgh alongside EVOC’s paid-for training. These funded courses are: 

  • Setting up a Charity and an Introduction to SCIO 
  • Passing the Charity Test 
  • Trustee Roles and Responsibilities 
  • Trustee Responsibilities: The Four General Duties 
  • An Introduction to Charity Finance and Reporting 
  • Funding: Application to Reporting 
  • How to Write Funding Applications 

If your query is about something else or you need more support, we can meet with you to discuss your query and how we can help. Each organisation and question is unique and we will help you in your specific situation the best we can. 

If you would like to meet us for a chat, please complete our online form and we will get back to you.  

Here is some more detail on what we can help with: 

  • Start-up: This includes advice on legal structures, preparation of governing documents, registration with Companies House and/or OSCR and passing the charity test. 
  • Compliance and regulation: This includes reporting to funders and OSCR, changes to legal form, dissolutions, and policy templates. 
  • Governance: This includes supporting the Board to understand their role, skills development, effective meetings. 
  • Funding: This includes assistance with identifying sources and making applications. We also offer a funding application review service.
