District Council to offer £175,000 in grants to local community

We have received the following from the District Council:

Vale of White Horse District Council will be offering two grant schemes starting next month with £175,000 available to support the local community.

The Capital Grants scheme and New Homes Bonus community grant scheme opens on 20 August and will run until 15 October for people to apply.

Workshops to give guidance on the grants and help people to apply for them will be offered 4-6pm on 8 August in Abingdon, 10 August in Faringdon and 15 August in Wantage. 

The Council was highly successful with both schemes last year, with the Capital grants scheme awarding £94,544 to organisations and the New Homes Bonus scheme awarding £98,066. 

You can book a place on an advice session by calling the district council on 01235 422644 or by emailing grants@southandvale.gov.uk. 

Places are limited with two people per organisation allowed to attend a workshop.
