Oxfordshire Youth
Opportunity Fund… your community’s chance to bid for funding
Voluntary and
community organisations are being invited to bid for portions of
Oxfordshire County Council’s new £1m two-year grant fund: Youth
Opportunity Fund.
Feedback from
Oxfordshire residents points to strong support for improving community-run youth
services. This new fund is available to help existing projects expand and new
ones get started. Grants of up to £70,000 are available.
By offering
start-up funding in previous years, the council has already helped many
community-run groups provide support for young children and families. Now we
aim to do the same for youth services.
Community-run
youth schemes complement the work of the county council’s children’s services
department, which targets resources at young people at risk of abuse and
neglect.
People in
neighbourhoods, towns and villages know best what is good for their community
and where they would like to see improvements. Now they have the chance to
start or grow existing opportunities for young people in their communities.

Nettlebed Art Society would like to thank everyone who came and supported this year's show.
We sold a record of fourteen paintings out of the 127 on display and of course lots of crafts too. The show was well supported with many visitors from the other side of the world including South Africa and New Zealand.
Our proceeds of £1600 are being shared between seven local charities.
Next year's show will be on 1st and 2nd August

Nettlebed Parish Council will be showing their support for the seafarers by proudly flying the Red Ensign outside the Village Club on Tuesday, September 3rd.
While many people know that the 3rd of Sept 1939 marked
the outbreak of the Second World War, few are aware that it also marks the
first major British maritime casualty, the merchant vessel SS Athenia,
torpedoed just a few hours after hostilities were declared, with the loss of 128
passengers and crew. Although many hundreds of merchant ships and thousands of
seafarers would meet the same fate in the years to come, 3rd September is now
enshrined as 'Merchant Navy Day' to honour the brave men and women who kept our
island nation afloat during both World Wars, and even during peacetime faced -
and continue to face - the more routine perils of violent storms and
mountainous seas.
