Number of Scottish CIOs doubles in just over a year

Number of Scottish CIOs doubles in just over a year: he number of charitable incorporated organisations in Scotland has doubled in just over a year, according to figures released last week by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator.

SCIOs now make up a third of all charity applications in Scotland, and more applications are made to become SCIOs than any other legal form, the OSCR said. Its figures show that more than one in 24 Scottish charities is now an SCIO.
