Equity & Inclusion
Reduce disadvantage and increase access to services, strengthen community cohesion and build social capacity
We award grants to community and voluntary groups for charitable purposes that make a genuine difference to the lives of people in Surrey.
In 2023 the Community Foundation for Surrey application rounds will be open to all of our themes, young people, wellbeing, and equity & inclusion. Through all of our themes we are interested in capacity building and engagement with the environment.
This theme supports:
- Exclusion – support projects providing opportunities for the most disadvantaged to develop their skills, confidence, and abilities to live independently and to participate in their community.
- Addressing disadvantage for specific communities.
- Improve access to services by supporting projects which remove barriers to participation.
- Homelessness and housing – projects supporting people who are homeless or insecurely housed and the causes of homelessness.
- Advice and support to help people navigate the challenges of economic disadvantage.
- Developing the basic skills which lead to employment, including IT skills, soft skills and confidence building to overcome barriers.
- Disability – supporting social inclusion for people with long-term illness or disability.
- Organisations supporting those living in deprivation through access to emergency food, home supplies, practical advice, and support.
- Supporting projects which work to prevent crime, reduce re-offending, or promote rehabilitation.
- Supporting projects which support the victims of crime.
- Promoting social cohesion.
- Supporting infrastructure and community development work to build strong communities.
