George Hook, Patron of the Comber Foundation: 

 

“Having accompanied volunteers from Comber to Romania, I have witnessed the tireless work they do in trying to close down state run institutions in Giurgiu County. This requires help from you at perhaps the most difficult economic times. Please find a little time in your heart for young adults that perhaps unknowingly will owe you a debt of gratitude for the rest of their lives.”

 

 

Governance 

We believe in being transparent and accountable to our donors and partners. We aim to achieve high standards in disability and development practice and our governance as an organisation.

Codes of Conduct

Comber is a signatory to Dochas's Code of Conduct on Images and Messages. This means that the values of dignity, equality and solidarity guide our use of photos, images and messages representing our partners and clients in Romania. If you have any comments about our images or messaging, please contact us at info@comber.ie. For more about the Code please visit www.dochas.ie/code

In 2012 the Comber Foundation became a full signatory to the Comhlámh Code of Good Practice. As a signatory, Comber aims to maintain best practice across the 11 principles as outlined in the Code. In doing so, we aim to ensure the overseas volunteer programme has a postive impact for the volunteer, the sending organisation and the host project and community. If you have any comments about how we implement the code, please contact us on info@comber.ie.
