THOUSANDS of pounds are up for grabs for voluntary organisations in need of support.

Eynsham Parish Council allocates a total of £2,500 each year in grants to village groups which have a ‘clear financial need’.

Grants are typically provided in chunks of up to £400 and successful applicants may be asked to submit a report outlining the use of the grant within three month’s of the project’s completion.

All applications must be made before October 14 in order to qualify for 2018-2019.

The finance committee will consider applications on 14 November. To apply contact epc.clerk@eynsham-pc.gov.uk
