The Tandridge Together Community Fund has awarded £23,000 in grants of up to £2,000 to 16 local organisations delivering community projects that will make a meaningful difference to residents’ health and wellbeing.

Projects include:

• Expansion of a Memory Cafe for people with dementia.

• Counselling workshops for domestic abuse survivors.

• Music and theatre workshops for disabled adults.

• Events, outings and activities for isolated residents.

• School shoes for over 1,000 children from low-income families.

• Physical activity and social opportunities for young people.

• Online safety education in schools.

The grant fund is generated from tickets sold through the Tandridge Together Lottery, with 10p from every £1 ticket sold allocated to the fund. Additionally, a further 50p from each ticket goes directly to the player’s chosen local good cause.

Councillor Deb Shiner, Chair of the Community Services Committee, said: “Once again, players of the Tandridge Together Lottery are helping to make a real difference in their community. These grant contributions enable community projects to provide a wide range of support to residents who need it most.”

Residents can play the Tandridge Together Lottery and support the Tandridge district.
