OXFORDSHIRE DEAF CHILDREN'S SOCIETY 

We support deaf children & their families living in Oxfordshire. We provide assistance for the deaf child & their families either directly or by providing social and entertainment initiatives.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
