THE OXFORD MUSE 

Organising less superficial conversations between individuals, work colleagues and communities, developing the art of self-portraiture. Making the workplace more stimulating culturally, professionally & personally.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
