OPEN DOOR (OXFORD)

Open Door is a weekly drop-in for refugees and asylum seekers in East Oxford. Around a hundred people use our service, with a weekly attendance of between 35-45. We provide a friendly, informal setting for people to meet, relax and have hot meal. We help with basic advice and signposting and enable our users to meet workers from other agencies. We work with the other local refugee groups.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

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: 11 years
