We've recently opened a second round of the Rural England Prosperity Fund (REPF) and are inviting organisations based in South and Vale to apply for grant funding.

To help you get started, we've teamed up with Thame Town Council to host a free, in-person event on the scheme, with details on how to apply, the types of projects that can be awarded funding and the amount you can apply for.
