What the charity does

The Society was originally set up to stimulate public interest in, and care for, the beauty, history and character of Shetland, its environment and built heritage. It has in the past pursued these aims through meetings, visits to places of interest, sponsorship of an annual environmental award, and also its own award. As noted previously interest had waned but it is hoped a fresh new committee can be set up.

Why there's no Clarity Score yet

The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. Shetland Civic Society 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
