Respect is committed to high standards of governance and best practice in all aspects of its work in order to promote integrity, transparency and accountability. We strive to achieve the Principles of Corporate Governance as outlined in the Governance Code for Community, Voluntary and Charitable Organisations and the Statement of Guiding Principles for Fundraising.
