HOME START SOUTHERN OXFORDSHIRE

Home-Start is a voluntary home-visiting scheme for families with pre-school children who may be experiencing difficulties.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female
  • Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • This charity appears to be dormant
