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.
