Communities across the Vale of White Horse that are looking to improve local facilities can benefit from a share of £175,000 that is available from the district council.

The money can help fund a variety of facilities and improvements like building new skate parks or play areas, upgrading sports pavilions, improving a community hall or purchasing life-saving defibrillators.

The current round of applications closes at 4pm on 15 October and awards will be confirmed within 12 weeks.

Earlier this year the council awarded nearly £25,000 in grants, including more than £21,000 towards improvements to four village halls, and nearly £1,500 to Grove District Guides for camping equipment.

Councillor Elaine Ware, cabinet member for grants at the Vale of White Horse District Council, said: “This money is put aside to help communities thrive and can go toward all kinds of project – big and small, we’d love to hear from as many groups as possible to help give their local area a boost.

“If a local facility in your area, such as a village hall, skate park or sports pavilion could benefit from some improvement work, speak to whoever looks after it, as they may be able to apply to us for a grant.”
