ACCOUNTABILITY

We find transparency about the question whether your donation will be spent in conformity with the statutory objectives and the policy plan of the foundation really important. This page contains the annual reports including the annual accounts, the policy plan, the articles of association and the complaints procedure.

POLICY

Since the establishment of the Usher Syndrome Foundation, it has grown from a small family foundation into a professional organisation, which we all can be really proud of. Thanks to the support and the trust of contributors, sponsors and volunteers, this upward trend continues and the activities of the foundation expand. Such a considerable growth also asks for reflection. What can be done better or different? How large will we eventually become? What do we have to do to achieve this? And how can we perpetuate what has been achieved? This policy plan contains the activities of the foundation and the policy for the coming years.
