Governance and Transparency in Le Chéile

In light of recent allegations relating to the misuse of charitable funds, Anne Conroy CEO of Le Chéile would like to reassure all our stakeholders that we are committed to the highest standards of governance in our work.

 

Governance

Le Chéile is a governed by a Board of Management, is structured as a company limited by guarantee and is registered and up-to-date with the Charity Regulator. All our Board members are volunteers and are unpaid; only vouched out-of-pocket expenses are reimbursed.

Transparency

We believe that the work of Le Chéile, our outputs and outcomes and how we spend our money should be open to scrutiny by funders and the public.  Therefore we embrace transparency and work to ensure that all of our work and the decisions we take are in the best interests of children and of our key stakeholders.
