JERICHO COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

Jericho Community Association

Your representatives in Jericho

The Jericho Community Association (JCA) has five main tasks:

  • To administer the Jericho Community Centre
  • To establish a new community centre on the canalside site
  • To represent Jericho residents on local issues such as planning
  • To organize local events such as the annual Street Fair
  • To keep residents aware of local concerns

The JCA is a charitable incorporated organisation. Registered Charity No. 1168203

The Association is open to anyone who lives in Jericho or elsewhere and everyone is welcome to come to most of the monthly meetings which are held at the Community Centre on the second Monday of most months at 8.00 p.m.

The 2026 AGM was held in Exeter College on April e. As a result of the elections the management of the Association consists of:

Chair: Alex Hollingsworth (Canal Street)
Vice-chair: John Crabtree (Walton Street)
Secretary: Amy Stein (Cranham Street)
Treasurer: Peter Stalker (Cranham Street)

The other committee members are:  Michael Barnes, Nathan Breeze, Zoe Guy,  Phyllis Starkey,  Colin Runacres  and Micaela Tuckwell 

===================================================

For the past 20 years the JCA has been working towards establishing a new community centre on the vacant canalside site.

For this purpose, we have joined forces with two other other local organizations to form the Jericho Wharf Trust. They are  the Jericho Living Heritage Trust, and the Jericho Community Boatyard. The Trust also works closely with St. Barnabas Church

Who owns the houses?

In Jericho in 2011, only 21% of households were owner occupiers. Instead, many more people rented their homes: 58% from private landlords and 20% from ‘social’ landlords, mostly the City Council.

How religious we are?

In the 2001 Census, some 50% of Jericho residents said they were Christian, 2.2% Muslim, 1.9% Buddhist and 1.2% professed other religions, while 34% of people said they had no religion. In Oxford as a whole the proportion with no religion was 24%.
