Our Mission
To empower and support young people in Scotland, particularly those who are new to the country, by providing a welcoming community, mentorship and resources that help them overcome challenges and achieve their personal and professional goals.
Through inclusivity, collaboration and guidance, we create pathways towards positive sustainable futures.
The Role
The Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of One Community Scotland.
Working collectively, trustees ensure the charity remains focused on its charitable purposes, complies with the requirements of the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR), and continues to provide effective support for young people and their families.
