Peaslake Community Fund
Established from a bequest to Peaslake Community Council in 2007 by Miss Jean Brodie, the Fund is for the exclusive benefit of Peaslake.
What is Peaslake Community Fund?
Managed by the Community Foundation for Surrey, the Peaslake Community Fund is part of a network of borough and district Area Funds across the county.
The Fund enables people who love Peaslake to donate money for the exclusive benefit of the village and its people. With your help we can help build a stronger community by supporting local causes that can make an impact and that will empower Peaslake to help itself now and in the future.
How we help people
The Peaslake Community Fund aims to create a lasting resource to support residents, community projects, and voluntary groups in Peaslake.
Your contribution helps us build a stronger community by backing local causes that make a real impact, empowering Peaslake to thrive both now and in the future.
Why support Peaslake Community Fund?
As a village our needs are very specific, and local people are often faced with reduced access to facilities and funding. Our dedicated panel of local residents award grants to:
Support village activities, services and community focal points such as the Village Hall, the Old School Room and the Peaslake Fair
Fund projects that improve and preserve the village heritage, culture and environment
Help older or disadvantaged residents combat isolation and stay happy, healthy and included
Increase facilities, training, skills and experience for young people.
Make a donation.
Donations can be made at any level, either as one-off donations or spread over a period of time. They can be donated as gifts of cash, legacies, shares, property or land.
The easiest way to give is through the donation page, which will direct your donation directly to Peaslake Community Fund. If you would prefer to make a bank transfer, please contact us.
Don’t forget Gift Aid! Using Gift Aid means that for every pound you give, the Peaslake Community Fund will receive an extra 25p from HM Revenue & Customs, helping your donation go further.

Apply for Funding
A small grant can make a big difference
Applying for a small grant (less than £2500) is easy.
Simply click the link below to send us a quick email. You will be asked to say a few words about your organisation and what you want the funding for – keep it short.
The Fund Panel will then review whether they have any funding available and if they’d like to invite you to apply, they will send you a link to the online application form.
If you’re invited to apply, the application will be processed within a month.
If you need more than £2,500 you should apply as usual via our main grants round.
Our small grants process is designed to respond to local, urgent needs, and particularly to support the small grassroots organisations that provide much-needed support to the most vulnerable in our communities.
We therefore welcome applications that prioritise addressing the needs of residents at disadvantage because of economic or health circumstances, living with poverty or other need or inequality.
