Sightsavers Ireland has been awarded Triple Lock status for high standards by Charities Institute Ireland.

Triple Lock status is awarded to charities that uphold the highest standards in transparent reporting, ethical fundraising and strong governance. It is the gold standard for Irish charities to assure the public, donors, corporates, trusts and foundations that they are trustworthy.

To achieve the award, Sightsavers Ireland has adopted the Charities Regulator’s fundraising guidelines and implemented controls to ensure that fundraising practices are fully in line with them. Sightsavers Ireland also publishes annual financial statements and reports in compliance with the Charity SORP accounting standard and has fully implemented the Charities Governance Code.

Sightsavers Ireland is committed to keeping policies and procedures under constant review to maintain Triple Lock status.
