What the charity does
OurStory Scotland collects, archives and presents the oral histories of LGBT people in Scotland. To do this, we conduct and record individual and group interviews with LGBT people, as well as collecting written episodes. Our archive is dispersed among various institutions depending on what kind of material it is. We hold events or attend events organised by other bodies where we share extracts from our archive. We also provide training to other bodies on oral history recording. In order to increase access to our archived material we have created several podcasts which are publicly available.

Why there's no Clarity Score yet
The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. OurStory Scotland is on the official register but outside the detailed-filing group we currently score (or awaiting its first filings), so we show its official register record instead of a rating. Its score appears automatically once enough filing data exists — never by payment. How scoring works
