• 1. Publicity of councillor Grants:

Each South Oxfordshire district councillor has £5,000 to award to projects or services that offer community benefits in their ward area. Applications should focus on projects that deliver a clear and demonstrable benefit to the people of South Oxfordshire, specifically in the ward area of the district councillor considering the request. The minimum grant is £250 and closing date is 17th December 2018. GWP sits across the Didcot West Electoral Division with Councillors Ian Snowdon (who regularly attends our GWP Residents’ Meetings) and Alan Thompson. Please visit the South Oxfordshire District Council website for more details.
