Who we are
Our purpose
No one left behind
Our purpose as a council is to tackle inequality and make sure that no one is left behind.
This purpose flows from the Community Vision for Surrey in 2030. Created with residents, communities and partners, it sets out how we all want Surrey to be by 2030. The Council plays a big part in the joint effort to realise this vision through the delivery of services and through partnerships such as the Health and Wellbeing Board.
Our organisation
What sort of organisation do we want to be?
- We organise ourselves around outcomes and make it easy for others across Surrey to collaborate with us.
- We help people and communities to help themselves and devolve decisions and service design as close to them as we can.
- We maximise the potential of digital and data to transform the way we work and improve accessibility.
- We seek out preventative, commercial and efficient approaches to help.
