Accountability

Responsible use of support and a commitment to the people we serve.

Our purpose in practice

The Rescue Mission About Us page states a commitment to transparency, accountability and safeguarding. It describes sharing information with people, organisations and public bodies involved in or affected by its work.

The charity says it takes a zero-tolerance approach to abuse and harm and aims to account to staff, volunteers, supporters, donors, partners and host governments. This page organises those published commitments clearly.

01

Transparency

Share information about activities and decisions.

02

Financial care

Aim to maximise the impact of each contribution.

03

Safeguarding

Protect vulnerable people from abuse or exploitation.

04

Responsiveness

Take stakeholder interests and concerns seriously.

A shared commitment

Our website connects practical action to people’s dignity and a greater say in their own lives. The ideas on this page are drawn from Rescue Mission’s published descriptions of its mission and programme areas.

Help turn these priorities into action.
