Wellbeing
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:
- Mental ill-health – supporting people to cope with and manage mental health issues and enable early intervention.
- Addiction – support people with drug, alcohol, and substance abuse-related issues.
- Caring responsibilities – supporting people caring for others.
- Reducing loneliness – provide older people with opportunities to access and participate in their local community to prevent isolation.
- Supporting recovery – supporting therapy, advice, counselling, and practical help to aid recovery and improve lives.
- Supporting families and parenting.
- Addressing physical ill-health and disability.
- Active lifestyles – promoting the benefits of healthy living and eating. Helping to counter obesity, preventable diseases, and mental ill-health.
- Domestic abuse – supporting people experiencing domestic abuse by providing advice, practical help and/or temporary accommodation.
Our funding supported the Banstead Community Allottment, bringing comfort to those with a life-limiting illness or their carers and the recently bereaved. The allotment provides a safe place for people to come together and share experiences, in turn combatting loneliness and isolation.
