Your Fund Surrey (YFS) from Surrey County Council now has even more ways to help you make a difference in your community. As well as providing funding for large community projects there is now funding more easily available for small community projects too, via your local Surrey County Councillor.
To date YFS has provided £5.5 million worth of funding to community projects across Surrey.
Funding is now available for one off simple projects worth between £1,000 and £50,000 to support capital community projects.
Each Surrey County Councillor has been given £50,000 Small Community Project funding to allocate in their areas and they can decide on which projects that £50,000 is spent.
Examples of types of projects it can be used for:
If you have an idea for a project that will benefit your community, talk to your local County Councillor, community groups, neighbours and friends about what could be achieved in your area. To check out ideas that might already have been developed in your area visit the YFS website and have your say on project proposals.
Get talking with other’s in your local community and come up with new ideas together. It’s Your Fund Surrey – so get thinking. There are now more ways to get community funding.
