The Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) has published a new factsheet about fraud and cybercrime. Developed with Police Scotland’s Cybercrime Unit, the factsheet provides Scottish charities with top tips and highlights sources of further support and advice.
The Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) is in the process of producing guidance notes on how to create an effective Trustees’ Annual Report (TAR) which they plan to publish later in the year. In the interim, they have released a video filmed at their recent Dundee ‘Meet the Regulator’ event in which Laura Anderson, Head of Professional Advice and Intelligence, highlights what makes a great TAR, including specific examples of TARs that tell a great narrative.

Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland becomes the Corra Foundation. Alongside the announcement of its new name and brand, the organisation has published the next iteration of its strategy, Change for Good.
The Group was tasked by the Fairer Fife Commission with the development of the strategic approach in the Commission's report Fairness Matters which was published in November 2015.
Throughout 2016, the Third Sector Strategy Group held five civic society discussions with key stakeholders to discuss the sector's approach to tackling inequality and promoting fairness, and drafted a Values Framework.
In March 2017, approximately 130 people, mainly from Fife's third sector attended a one-day conference organised by the Group to further consider these issues.
Since then Iconic Consulting has been working with the Group to draft the strategic approach. The draft is now at a stage where the Group would welcome feedback from the sector to make sure we are heading in the right direction.
The draft and a very short feedback form is available at https://www.iconic-consulting.co.uk/studies/tackling-inequality-in-fife/
We would be delighted if you could review the document and share your feedback, confidentially, with Iconic.
