What is an organisation identifier?
An organisation identifier is a unique piece of text that definitively identifies an organisation.
Examples include charity numbers and company numbers.
Identifiers are usually assigned by an external body like a regulator.
Findthatcharity uses the Org ID scheme to create identifiers.
GB-SC gives the scheme for this identifier (Scottish Charity Register), while SC038302 is the identifier for this organisation within the scheme.
