DEAN COURT COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION 

To establish a Community Centre (completed on 27 February 2014) in the Dean Court ward of the Parish of Cumnor, Oxfordshire and to maintain and manage the same for the benefit of the local inhabitants and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure-time occupation by associating with the statutory authorities, voluntary and other organisations.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 12 years
