COMMUNITY groups, churches and parish councils have been invited to bid for a share of a £320,000 council gift pot.
South Oxfordshire District Council is inviting applications specifically for capital projects.
This means building projects and other schemes outside of the normal running costs.
Similar awards have gone towards a new playground and outdoor gym, restoration of church bells and energy efficient improvements to a village hall.

Local organisations in South Oxfordshire have until midday on December 2 to apply to the council for money towards improving, creating or replacing community facilities.
Grants range from £1,000, which could cover the replacement of a village noticeboard, to £75,000 towards a project like a new recreation ground, but the improvements must benefit local residents.
The maximum we are able to fund is 50 per cent of the total project cost.
For more information and advice visit the council’s website southoxon.gov.uk/grants, email the grants team at grants@southandvale.gov.uk or give them a call on 01235 422405.
