Advice on applying for other funding

The Council’s grant funding is limited.  To help you identify other possible funding sources the Council has set up a Vale Community Funding Advice Service which is provided by Oxfordshire Community and Voluntary Action (OCVA) for community groups and local charities in the Vale. 

If you need help in locating funding for a project, event or service, which helps to improve the quality of life for people living in the Vale, please contact the OCVA on 01865 251946 or by e-mail at funding@ocva.org.uk  

As part of the service, OCVA runs monthly funding advice surgeries in Abingdon, Wantage and Faringdon. To make an appointment please contact OCVA.  The next surgeries will be held on the following dates:
