    EAST OXFORD COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

The Association provides opportunities for education, recreation, leisure and social welfare, prioritising those who are socially disadvantaged in our local community.
    Analysis by Giving is Great

    Positives:

    • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers

    Financial issues to consider:

    • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
    • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
    Established: 45 years
