What the charity does
We are set up to conserve the remaining native red squirrel population in the Rhins and Luce area of Dumfries and Galloway. We achieve this by controlling the non-native grey squirrel population through trapping and humane dispatch as allowed by law. In addition we raise funds for our activities through applying for grants and selling merchandise on our squirrel stall. We also raise awareness about red squirrel conservation by public engagement and giving educational talks to schools and interested local groups.

Why there's no Clarity Score yet
The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. Rhins and Luce Red Squirrel Network SCIO 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
