Oxfordshire All In make funding application to OCF

Jun 26

We have been invited to make a funding application to Oxfordshire Community Foundation’s Recover Stronger Fund.

We submitted our application yesterday afternoon (Thursday 25th June), and sought OCF’s permission to publish it publicly here too. You can find our covering letter and application form below.

Why publish publicly? Given that the stated purpose of our work is to be an effective infrastructure for community support and action - working with and on behalf of people, local communities, established voluntary organisations, and the public sector - it makes sense that these people and groups have this kind of information about us. We welcome challenges, constructive, and positive feedback to the ideas and plans contained - everything that will both hold to us account and ensure that - if our bid is successful - we are truly working for people and local communities as effectively as possible.

We encourage a diversity of opinion and a safe space to give feedback of any kind, so please do not be shy to engage with us, especially if you think we could be doing better - we want to hear from you! Not everything we are doing is contained in this application, and we hope you will find much more on our current activities and plans across our website too.

Due to the time constraints of our application and the large number of organisations we work with, we were unable to ask for their explicit permission to identify them in this public facing document and this information has been redacted. You can find out more about some of our partners here, and those within each strand of our work by contacting us. If there are elements of the work included that you would like to partner with us in achieving, please let us know!
