We have details on the following significant donations. Multi-year donations are allocated to the years for which they are earmarked.

Specific Donations

Amount	When Months	To be used for
Oxfordshire Community Foundation - Kidlington Good Neighbour Scheme
£1,244	23/11/2021	If successful this grant would be used towards the salary cost of our part time office co-ordinator who runs the Good Neighbour Scheme office during our weekly opening hours which are Monday, ....more If successful this grant would be used towards the salary cost of our part time office co-ordinator who runs the Good Neighbour Scheme office during our weekly opening hours which are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1000 - 1400 hours. This person also regularly reviews all of our organisations emails when not in the office to ensure that all requests received by email are dealt with as fast as possible if the request demands it. When the office is unmanned we also have an answer phone to ensure that any telephone requests are followed up when the office is next open. It is essential that we have a office co-ordinator as without this there would be no continuity of the service that we provide and we believe no alternative way of ensuring that all requests made to our Good Neighbour Scheme are fulfilled speedily and to a high standard. The salary for this person is £460 a month which equates to a total of £5,520 per year. We receive no funding from any other source to meet the cost of this salary and we would be unable to operate our Good Neighbour Scheme without funding of this cost by applying for grants and hopefully being successful in receiving positive outcomes. If we were successful with this grant application any funding we receive would go towards this cost. The office co-ordinator is supported by a voluntary office based person who assists fortwo hours at a time on a rota basis. In addition the office co-ordinator is also responsible for running the Kidlington Information Centre office which the Kidlington Good Neighbour Scheme is part of. The Information Centre provides timetables, attraction leaflets within a 50 mile radius, AGE UK Information leaflets etc. We also answer numerous requests for advice on obtaining blue badge, bus passes and various general enquiries received from the resident of Kidlington and the surrounding villages.
