ELMORE COMMUNITY SERVICES

Elmore Community Services works with people with complex needs who do not easily fit the remit of other agencies. Needs arise from combinations of problems with mental health, substance misuse, homelessness, offending, exploitation and trafficking, learning and communication difficulties. We work across Oxfordshire. We provide practical help, emotional support, advocacy and outreach.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • 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
