Our trustees do not receive fees or payments for their services. We have adopted the Guidelines for Charitable Organisations on Fundraising from the Public and we are in the process of ensuring compliance with the Charities Governance Code which sets out the minimum standards a charity should meet to effectively manage and control their charity and is based on legal requirements and best practice. HopeSpace is a member of The Wheel, the support and representative network for the community and voluntary sector in Ireland.
Board Sub Committees
The Board meets regularly to deal with HopeSpace CLG business, to ensure the charity is financially sound, and to adhere to governance and policies. However, The Board recognises that some Board functions need more attention in order to be dealt with effectively at board meetings. Therefore, it has established subcommittees and delegated specific areas of responsibility to these committees. There are four board sub-committees who report to the Board on a regular basis.
