THE OXFORD FARMING CONFERENCE 

The aims and objectives of the Charity as stated in the governing documents are broad and,whilst mainly educational,go beyond the principal activity of running a successful Annual Conference.The Conference theme,programme and sponsorship are driven by the Council whose members chair sessions,host speakers and receptions and steward the Conference and the Debate.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
