Community Month

Hidden Surrey: The Power of Local People

Celebrating the volunteers, groups and projects that support communities across Surrey every day.

People. Places. Purpose.

From libraries and transport schemes to nature recovery and shared history, local people are helping Surrey stay connected.

Across Surrey, community groups, volunteers and local projects bring people together every day. Their work often goes unnoticed, but it sits at the heart of local life.

Libraries

Spaces to read, study, meet others, join groups and take part in events.

Community Transport

Volunteer drivers help residents get to appointments, shops and essential services.

Nature Recovery

Local groups can apply for grants to support wildlife and improve green spaces.

The Community Nature Recovery Grant is returning with £100,000 available to support community-led projects, with grants between £1,500 and £5,000.
