DONATIONS
Where does our funding come from?
Most of our income comes from donations from charitable trusts and individuals who have a personal interest in dyslexia. A smaller fraction comes from membership subscriptions to the Oxfordshire Dyslexia Association.
How do we spend it?
Our biggest project is Saturday School, which has been running in Oxford for over 20 years. We provide tuition for beteen 40 and 50 children every week with qualified, experienced dyslexia specialists. These sessions are heavily subsidised by ODA to keep them as affordable as possible (£15/hour) and ODA will also offer partial or full grants to students whose families struggle to pay this amount each week. In addition, we subsidise individual sessions for students whose particular needs require 1:1 tuition.
We also organise talks and conferences about different aspect of living with dyslexia.
We can also offer help with:
-
Full Dyslexia Assessments
-
''Touch-Type, Read and Spell'' - a course run by ODA
-
Screening for dyslexia - by ODA screeners for children or adults
-
ODA Saturday School tuition
