Another £250,000 is to be handed out to victims of the July floods.

The money has been allocated out of the British Red Cross National Floods Appeal, which so far has brought in more than £3.7m in donations.

It is being distributed via local councils and intended for the most vulnerable, particularly the elderly, disabled or people on low incomes.

A distribution board has been set up and in Oxfordshire it is being managed by the Oxfordshire Community Foundation.

Spokesman Barry Tanswell said they would be sending out application forms to all those who applied for hardship funding under the separate Government scheme - under which £965,000 was allocated to councils in Oxfordshire.

Application forms are available from Oxford City Council and the county's other district councils. The Gannett Foundation, the charitable arm of Newsquest Media Group, parent company of, the Oxford Mail gave £10,000 to the Red Cross appeal.
