Oxfordshire County Council’s Councillor Priority Fund is now open for applications. Each county councillor has a budget of £15,000 which they can allocate to projects in their divisions over the next two financial years. Funding is allocated by councillors on a rolling basis and early applications are encouraged.

Projects must support the council’s aim to deliver a greener, fairer and healthier county and be supported by at least one county councillor. The fund is open to voluntary and community sector organisations, alongside town and parish councils, schools and Parent and Teacher Associations.

Organisations are advised to contact their local county councillor at an early stage to discuss projects and obtain their support before making an application.

More information about the scheme, including the online application form can be found on the county council’s website: www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/councillorpriorityfund or for further information about the fund, please email councillorpriorityfund@oxfordshire.gov.uk
