Children’s Health Foundation Receives 2026 Triple Lock Standard
Children’s Health Foundation is proud to announce that it has been awarded the 2026 Triple Lock Standard, a recognised mark of excellence in transparency, governance, and ethical fundraising.
Charities Institute Ireland awards the Triple Lock Standard each year, recognising charities that exemplify the highest levels of professionalism, integrity, and accountability.
To obtain this certification, organisations must navigate a rigorous application process, which involves submitting comprehensive documentation and undergoing an independent review of their transparency, governance, and fundraising practices.
This demanding process guarantees that only charities that meet the strictest standards receive the certification, assuring donors, supporters, and beneficiaries that the organisation is dedicated to best practices and committed to delivering meaningful, measurable impact.
Building Trust Through Transparency and Accountability
The Triple Lock Standard stands on three essential pillars:
– Transparent Reporting: Organisations commit to publishing annual reports and financial statements that fully comply with the Charity SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice under FRS102). This practice ensures the public has access to accurate and comprehensive information.
– Good Governance: Charities adopt the Charities Governance Code, demonstrating strong leadership, clear oversight, and board accountability.
– Ethical Fundraising: Organisations adhere to the Charities Regulator’s Guidelines for Fundraising, ensuring that all donations are raised and managed responsibly and ethically. By meeting this standard, the Children’s Health Foundation showcases its commitment to transparency, integrity, and responsible stewardship of donor support.
A Mark of Trust for Donors and Supporters
The Triple Lock Standard serves as a clear signal that a charity is:
– Professionally managed
– Financially accountable
– Committed to ethical practices
– Focused on delivering real impact
By supporting the Children’s Health Foundation, donors and partners can be confident their contributions are being used effectively to make a meaningful difference in the lives of sick children and their families across Ireland.
