LINCOLN COLLEGE VACATION PROJECT 

Each year Lincoln College Vacation Project runs two/three week long holidays for children living in the Oxford area who are involved with social services in order to give them a break from whatever difficulties they may be experiencing and an opportunity to try new things.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
