I am pleased to announce that as a County Councillor for Grove and Wantage I have been allocated £10,000 to spend on projects within the community. This is the new process which the County Council has agreed to spend the Big Society Fund, which has been the route for allowing start-up funding for community and voluntary projects in the past. Residents may remember the successful bid for the re-launch of the Sweatbox in Wantage some time ago.
Details of the fund and how to apply can be found here, but I would be happy to discuss any potential ideas for using this allocation of funds. There is a criteria which has to be met but this is all set out in the guidance on the County website link above. The budgets cannot be used to fund activities whose primary purpose is religious or political.
You can email or phone me if you wish to discuss in the first instance (my contact details can be found here). As Grove and Wantage is a two-member division, Cllr. Jenny Hannaby has also been allocated £10,000 so we are fortunate to have a joint total of £20,000 to spend this year.
