Our Governance

VHI Women's Mini Marathon | Irish Kidney Association

Our Governance

Good governance is about more than rules – it’s about trust.

We follow the Charities Governance Code, which sets out the minimum standards charities should meet to be well-managed and well-run. This means putting clear systems and processes in place so that we:

  • Achieve our charitable objectives with integrity
  • Use our resources effectively and efficiently
  • Are accountable for our decisions and our impact
  • Are open and transparent with patients, families, supporters and the public

National Member Forum

In 2025, we established our National Member Forum to place the experiences and concerns of kidney patients firmly at the centre of everything we do.

The Forum brings together representatives from our Branches across the country, creating a direct link between local kidney communities and national decision-making.
