Funding is now available for one off simple projects worth between £1,000 and £100,000 to support capital community projects.

Each Surrey County Councillor has been given £100,000 Small Community Project funding to allocate in their areas and they can decide on which projects that £100,000 is spent.

Examples of types of projects it can be used for:

  • New kitchen items for a community hall
  • New flooring or pathways for a community asset
  • New chairs / tables for a village hall or green
  • Solar panels
  • General refurbishment of an existing building
  • PA equipment for a school
  • Cricket nets / sports equipment for a local club
  • Replacement windows in a village hall / sports club
  • Planting new trees / creating a community orchard
