The councillor grant scheme is now open again, where every councillor has £5,000 to help fund projects in their ward.

South Oxfordshire District Council are trying to encourage applications for projects that will contribute to their new corporate plan priorities, in particular to protect and restore our natural world; action on the climate emergency and improved economic and community well-being. The funding is ideal for projects which are relatively low in costs and can complete within a year.

To make an application, you should first get in touch with either of our District Councillors to discuss your project:

Anne-Marie Simpson Anne-Marie.Simpson@southoxon.gov.uk

Jane Murphy jane.murphy@southoxon.gov.uk

Then submit an online application via the SODC website, which also has more information about the grants and guidance notes for making an application. https://www.southoxon.gov.uk/south-oxfordshire-district-council/community-support/grants/councillor-community-grants/

The scheme will close at noon on Friday 5 February 2021.
