The funding is being distributed through South Oxfordshire District Council’s Councillor Community Grant Scheme, which offers up to £7,500 per councillor for non-profit organisations, including voluntary groups, and town and parish councils. Georgina Heritage, cabinet member for communities at South Oxfordshire District Council, said: "Out of all the grants we offer this one is personal for our council members. "We’re able to directly support organisations in our ward that we see make a difference to our communities every day. Past recipients have included mental health support groups for children, sporting equipment, memorial benches, and solar panels for community buildings. Ben Drabble, CEO of TRAIN, said: "For a lot of our young people, summer can be a really isolating time.
