FLEXICARE (OXFORD AND ABINGDON)

A small charity operating within 8-10 miles of Oxford, plus Wantage and Grove, offering a babysitting service by trained volunteers to families with a severely disabled child.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 4 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

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