At tonight's South East Area Committee we awarded grants to three worthy causes. Firstly, to the Wantage and Grove Street Pastors, who as I have previously reported went out for the first time on the streets of Wantage last Friday. This scheme was awarded £3000 to help provide administrative support and equipment for the volunteers.
£500 was awarded to East Hendred Community Centre towards the cost of replacing fencing on the boundary to Snell's Hall. Finally, £1500 was awarded to the Wantage Betjeman Festival of Literature and Poetry which is a new organisation hoping to set up a new festival to celebrate the work of Sir John Betjeman and other authors and poets with local connections to the Wantage area.
That just about uses up all the funding which we have currently available except for £1000 left in the pot in case any applications come forward which cannot wait until next year.
