AUTISM FAMILY SUPPORT OXFORDSHIRE

To further the study, support, development and well being of individuals with an Autistic Spectrum Condition, and their families.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
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 gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Latest accounts are overdue for filing
