In accordance with the Guidelines for Charitable Organisations on Fundraising from the Public, issued by the Charities Regulator, Le Chéile Mentoring has a Donor Charter outlining how we operate under the principles of Respect; Honesty & Integrity; and Transparency & Accountability

Respect:

• All public engagement will respect the rights and dignity of our funders, donors, staff, service users and the general public.
• Service users will be presented in an honest and respectful way and, where possible and appropriate, service users will have an input into the promotional strategies of the charity.
• We offer other ways in which the public can support our work, for example volunteering your time
• Fundraising activities will not be unreasonably persistent, intrusive or place undue pressure on a person/organisation to donate. Declining to donate, or wishing to cease making a donation will be respected.
