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 2024 AGM was held in Worcester College on June 25. As a result of the elections the management of the Association consists of:
Chair: Charlotte Christie (Canal Street)
Vice-chair: John Crabtree (Walton Street)
Treasurer: Peter Stalker (Cranham Street)
The other committee members are: Scott Ellis, Zoe Guy, Joelle Mann, Phyllis Starkey, George Taylor, and Alex Towler
===================================================
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 three other other local organizations to form the Jericho Wharf Trust. They are St. Barnabas Church, the Jericho Living Heritage Trust, and the Jericho Community Boatyard.

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%.
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.
