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.
