Amazing Foundation - who’s support makes a real difference 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

As we close out this financial year, we are delighted to be able to share that we have made £1.9m in grants in 2023/2024.

Organisations across Surrey working in a wide spectrum of areas of support make a phenomenal difference to people in need in the county.

Their work impacts thousands of Surrey residents, and to be able to fund their projects is something we are very proud of.
