It is a task that has taken just over a year and seen my colleagues and me travelling the length and breadth of Scotland. It has been very hard work – but also very rewarding. Many of the issues are complex, but at the heart of this is our desire to find ways to help improve the lives of the people of Scotland. The reward has been in meeting so many people and discussing the issues with them – at formal evidence sessions, at informal meetings, and at engagement events across the country.

  • Charity Law Overview for Church of Scotland Congregational Office Bearers
    Charity Law Overview for Church of Scotland Congregational Office bearers Charity law is a complex subject but, as your congregation comprises a Charity, it is important that you and your fellow office bearers have a working knowledge of the duties which both the new statutory regime and the common law imposes on charity trustees. Why be a charity? The main advantage are of course the tax benefits. There is exemption from most of the burdens of taxation -- from income tax, corporation tax, capital gains tax, Stamp duty land tax etc but, sadly, only limited reliefs from VAT. Very important from the Church's point of view are tax recoveries made via Gift Aid and from tax on interest and investments. Secondly, there are various rating remissions which charities can claim -- although, in fact, the 100% rating remission which Church buildings and Church Halls receive is in terms of other legislation specifically for such property. Thirdly, being a charity provides an access route to receiving grants from both commercial bodies and from other grant-giving charities. The "charity brand" provides to donors an assurance that the money they give will be used in a good cause. The History To understand the current legislative provisions, it is necessary to know a little of the historical background. The notion of there being certain purposes worthy of legislative preference was first found in an English Act of Parliament dating from the time of Elizabeth the First which included in the list of good causes the repair of Church buildings. This was further developed in an English taxation case in 1891 which provided that "charity" in its legal sense comprised four charitable purposes or heads: the relief of poverty, the advancement of religion, the advancement of education and a more general category, namely purposes beneficial to the community, not falling under any of the preceding heads.

Objectives and Activities The principal objective of the Traditional Music Forum is the advancement of education through: 1. Promoting the public’s interest in Scottish traditional music by means of advocacy, partnership and networking 2. Presenting, promoting, organising, managing and producing performances or broadcasts, lectures, exhibitions, and literature 3. Promoting companies whose activities may further the objects of the Forum, or may generate income to support those activities General Activity The Forum’s work in 19-20 was a continuation, and in some cases a culmination, of work begun in the previous year. Three significant strands of work were the Economic Survey, the TradMentoring programme, and the European Folk Network. The survey and report ‘Working as a Traditional Musician in Scotland’ was published, and well received by industry bodies, the Musicians Union and the Scottish Music Industry Association, as well as by Creative Scotland, who funded it. Forum Director, David Francis, gave presentations on the report’s findings to the AGM of the TMF and to the Cross-Party Group on Music at the Scottish Parliament. Follow ups from the report addressed professional development gaps which had been identified in the research. We programmed a series of workshops on Performance Skills, Intellectual Property Rights, and Negotiating Skills which were well attended, and the Director conducted in- depth interviews with a number of early-career professionals.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, Keepers like Thomas Ruddiman, David Hume and their successors established the Advocates Library as the National Library of Scotland in all but name. With the provision of a very generous endowment by Sir Alexander Grant of Forres, the Government in 1925 accepted the Faculty's offer to present its Library, with the exception of the law books and manuscripts, to the nation to become the National Library of Scotland.

  • Accountability Practices in Islamic Charities in Scotland a Critical and Postmodern Perspective
    Accountability practices in Islamic charities in Scotland A critical and postmodern perspective Hussain Etbiga Mohamed Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Heriot-Watt University School of Social Sciences March 2017 The copyright in this thesis is owned by the author. Any quotation from the thesis or use of any of the information contained in it must acknowledge this thesis as the source of the quotation or information. i Abstract Some researchers in the field of accounting have studied the interrelationship between religious values and accounting. Little, however, has been conducted on the values of religions that might inspire change and development of accounting in minority contexts. The overall image that emerges from the literature is that its primary focus is on religious organisations rather than the religious values themselves. In Islamic accounting, attention has been paid to the role of accounting and its functions but not on how accounting can be changed by these values. Further, most of the literature focuses on how the Islamic business environment is influenced by Western accounting practices/standards. This thesis investigates the role of Islamic values in shaping accountability practices in the Islamic charitable sector in Scotland. Also, how the adoption of these values could help in advancing accountability practices by empowering the disadvantaged and marginalised stakeholder groups by giving them a voice in the accountability process and the power to demand accountability. As postmodern research challenges the form and the content of dominant models of knowledge, the study adopts a theological position (Islam) that has a dimension that is interested in a project of emancipation.

This year is no exception. It is unfortunately the case that the support we can give to children, young people and families in the most difficult of circumstances was in ever-increasing demand in 2015-16. Ideally, it would be possible to pinpoint the underlying causes which give rise to the need for our services, but there is no single villain. Those in need are not to be classified in any neat way, whether according to geography, economics or personal background. However, it is possible to point to a number of influences. Poverty remains the prevailing, debilitating reality for far too many families in Scotland in 2016. Domestic violence, sexual abuse and the impact of trauma are malevolent forces.
