Governance

Good governance, regulatory compliance and transparency are at the heart of our work. Ensuring high standards in this area builds and maintains trust for our funders, corporate sponsors  and members of the public

Compliance

Safe Home Ireland is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee. It is managed by its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who reports to a non-executive Board of Directors.


The Board sets the organisation’s strategic direction, provides financial oversight, manages risk, oversees policy, and monitors other key areas through bi-monthly meetings. The Board is supported by a number of sub-committees, including: Audit and Risk, Fundraising and Governance.


As an organisation, Safe Home Ireland is in compliance with the Charities Governance Code. This outlines the minimum standards that should be met to effectively manage and control the organisation.


Our Annual Accounts are prepared and audited by an independent auditor and publically available on our website, see below.

Safe Home Ireland is fully committed to operating to high standards of good practice and transparency. 


We welcome any feedback on how we can improve existing services and develop the organisation to ensure we are sustainable for the future

Audited Accounts

stewardship and outline how funds are allocated and spent.



Strategic Plan 2023-2028


Safe Home Ireland’s 2023 -2028 Strategic Plan outlines our mission, vision and values. During this Plan, we will focus on the following four strategic objectives:


  1. To explore housing options for returning Irish persons in crisis/challenging circumstances abroad.
  2. To support the Integration and Inclusion of returning Irish to feel socially included and to enjoy well-being on their transition back to community life in Ireland.
  3. To support Irish abroad to make informed choices about returning to Ireland.
  4. To ensure the development and sustainability of the organisation.


This Strategic Plan is a road map for Safe Home Ireland and the priorities identified and the subsequent actions undertaken are in support of Safe Home’s vision, mission and values.

 

In the development of the Plan, consultations were carried out with samples from our stakeholder groups including service users, Board of Directors, staff members, external stakeholders from both the statutory and voluntary sectors.

 

This plan sets forth our vision, goals, and strategies to effectively meet and respond to the evolving needs of Irish people planning a return to Ireland, as well as those who have recently returned.
