Your Fund Surrey Large Community Projects update
To date the Your Fund Surrey Large Community Projects Fund has supported 45 projects all across Surrey at a value of over £20 million.
The projects funded since 2020 demonstrate our commitment to supporting local initiatives that make a real difference to residents.
Given the number of projects already in the pipeline, we encourage applicants to consider whether they meet the following criteria before applying:
* All approvals in place, such as planning permission or landowners permission
* Contributions from other funders or fundraising
* Long leases (see Terms and Conditions)
If your Idea Submission is approved by the YFS team, we would recommend Full Submissions are in as soon as possible (see FAQS for application deadlines) to have the best chance of securing some funding, which is awarded on a first-come-first-served basis.
Please note that full submissions are required by end August 2024 for the next assessment round (December 2024), with Have Your Say consultations live through September.
The following assessment round (March 2025) will require full submissions by end November 2024 with Have Your Say live through December 2024.
Please note that an application is not a guarantee of funding.
Your Fund Surrey Large Community Projects is for larger capital projects in excess of £10k that will provide wide community benefit. Due to the size of the funding awarded Large Community Projects are subject to a staged application process.
Examples of the types of projects it can be used for include:
- New community centres
- Local swimming pools
- Sports pavilions or clubhouses
- Collaborative workspaces
- New football pitches
- Community food growing space
