QiS was founded with a group of Foundation Trustees, who made the application to OSCR, the Scottish Charity Regulator, and continued the work of detailing how QiS would operate. From September 2025 appointments to formal QiS roles have been nominated by the QiS Nominations Committee and approved by members in session.
Minutes of trustee meetings are appended to this page - listed to the right, or at the foot of the page on small devices.

Foundation Trustees (to 31 Dec 2025)
Foundation Trustees were appointed by General Meeting for Scotland to submit proposal to OSCR to create the new charity Quakers in Scotland (QiS). They worked with the QiS Coordinating Group to develop policies and systems for the new organisation, but Clerks, further trustees, and some other roles were appointed by members of the new charity.
