The Town Council recognises the wide diversity of voluntary bodies operating in the Town and the effort which is harnessed for the benefit of the local community. In its desire to improve the quality of life for people in Banbury, the Council works closely with the voluntary sector and provides small grants to boost the funding of a number of good causes. 

The Town Council recognises that local groups, clubs and societies may benefit from smaller grants of up to £500 which are available throughout the year.

Most voluntary groups are eligible to apply providing their activities are focussed on Banbury residents.
