Q&A Sessions
We have run a series of 6 Q&A sessions to explain a little more about the Fund and answer your questions. We have found it useful to speak with groups to hear about their projects and answer any queries they have had. As there is not long left until the Fund close, we are not planning any further sessions. However, if you have any questions, please do contact us grants@cfsurrey.org.uk and we will be happy to help.
