New picnic tables for Tatsfield Village Green
Your Fund Surrey has funded £10,645.80 towards this project. The project is to purchase 10 recycled plastic picnic tables and four planters to put on our village green for the use and enjoyment of the whole community. They will be environmentally-friendly, recycled plastic tables.
The Limpsfield Way
Your Fund Surrey has funded £44,000 towards this project. The Limpsfield Way is a circular walk from Limpsfield Chart to Limpsfield with signpost discs and information boards explaining the interesting history of the area, and it will use existing bridleways and footpaths. There will also be natural, wooden play equipment for children. There will be a map in both villages, with online directions to download, a QR code for information and feedback, and paper copies of the map. The route is just over four miles long, with no stiles, only shallow slopes and it includes a shorter route for disabled visitors. As well as exploring both villages, the route goes through woodland and open countryside with views of the North Downs and across to west Surrey.
Master Park Community Pavilion
Your Fund Surrey has funded £1,860,000 towards this project. The plan is to rebuild master park pavilion. The new building will be a multi-use facility and will have a Café on the Park, able & disabled public toilets, community rooms for classes and activities such as exercise, bridge & book clubs, dance & acting workshops, wellness groups etc. and all operating along-side a multitude of resident sports clubs.

In order to accommodate their wide-range of growing users, the sports club are going to build a new entrance way, along with both male and female facilities.

Blanchman's Farm Nature Reserve
Blanchman's Farm Local Nature Reserve have been granted £119,000 to go towards their all abilities and disabled trackway. Your Fund Surrey has contributed 50% of their total project cost for the installation of a brand-new weather-proof trackway around their nature reserve. This will create equal-access across the entire site for wheelchair users and people with pushchairs. They have also updated their audio and commentary which takes users round the site, as well as their information leaflets on the reserve. They have also installed sensory paving and wooden posts engraved with images of wildlife and flowers that you can find on the reserve.
