Ten charities in the Vale of White Horse have been boosted by funding delivered through a community lottery.
The money has come from the White Horse Community Lottery, which is marking its third anniversary since its launch by the Vale of White Horse District Council.
In total, it has raised £82,975 and supported organisations and charities dedicated to supporting their communities and natural environment.
Sustainable Shrivenham, which runs a community hub and repair workshop aimed at promoting sustainable choices in everyday life, received £1,209.

Its co-chair, Kate Myrie, said: "The funds we receive from the lottery are a great boost to our regular income and we're delighted with this additional fund, which will pay for us to transform our repair workshop area.
"This will be a huge improvement for the space and allows our brilliant repair volunteers to work safely and comfortably every month as well as allow us to use the space for workshops and other activities in between."
Meanwhile, Abingdon Music Centre received £618 to help with their work of providing people of all ages and experiences with opportunities to make music.

Frances David, director of the centre, said: "We’re thrilled to be selected as part of the distribution of extra funds for our cause.
"The money will go towards music and resources for our groups, enabling us to engage with a wide repertoire of music.
"It will also help go towards costs of venue hire and concert events.
"We are so dependent upon fundraising outlets, and this will have such a positive impact on the daily running of Abingdon Music Centre."
Players of the lottery can choose a good cause they wish to support, including the White Horse Community Fund.
Lottery prizes range from free prize draw entries to a weekly £25,000 jackpot.
Tickets cost £1 with 60p from every ticket sold going to support charities and community groups across the district.
Councillor Helen Pighills, cabinet member for community health and wellbeing, added: "Through giving funding to local good causes the community lottery continues to fulfil its purpose to connect community groups with supporters and help people support the causes they care about most.
"I’m delighted we can support these organisations and help provide them with this vital boost so they can help more people in our local communities.
"Thank you to all our lottery supporters for buying tickets and supporting the amazing work these organisations do for people."
