Transparency

The continued success of any charity is dependent upon the public’s trust and confidence in its work.

The Charity Commission interprets transparency and accountability as “providing relevant and reliable information to stakeholders in a way that is free from bias, comparable, understandable and focused on stakeholders’ legitimate needs”.

Transparency and accountability also allow the Trustees to:

• demonstrate that resources are being used wisely and for the stated purpose;
• show that the charity is being organised and managed properly;
• demonstrate that the charity is carrying out its activities efficiently and effectively; and
• attract new resources to enable the charity to continue its activities.

We also believe that confidence in charities is undermined when supporters are exploited - or bombarded with appeals, and information. At POP we recognise this and put you in control. Any information you need to make a decision about supporting us is available from this website - and we guarantee not to bombard you with mail shots or appeals for more money !

At POP we believe that transparency and accountability are essential to the success of our organisation. If you have any suggestions or comments that you would like to make which may improve our skills in this area, we would love to hear from you.

Each of the trustees can be emailed directly via the contact us link on the home page if you require any additional information.
