Improving our services
To improve our services, the Trustees and freelance workers including volunteers attend professional trainings held by local and regional institutions.
​
Our activities are often visited by the funder representatives. Our income is also checked twice a year by an independent accountant. Internal and external polls and feedbacks help us to keep improving our services.
Governance
The Trustees oversee how the organisation is run. They meet once every month, but can also meet at any time in case of any emergency matters.
​
The Management Committee Members are assisted by the Organisation’s (AFSOR) Council Committee formed of some members who led the organisation in the past years, including volunteers. The Council Committee Members meet twice a year either to prepare the AGM or to discuss matters arising for and/or against the organisation.
