OXFORDSHIRE COMMUNITY CHURCHES

To advance the Christian religion and education and to relieve poverty, hardship and distress across Oxfordshire and in many other parts of the world. This is primarily done through the activity of 11 established churches and through schools, pre-schools and outreach workers as well as supporting overseas workers.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive benefits from the charity
The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income

Established: 28 years
