The Surrey Young People’s Fund was established in October 2014 and aims to support disadvantaged young people in Surrey to gain access to training and employment.
The Fund is established within the Community Foundation for Surrey – an independent charitable trust, dedicated to inspiring local giving, providing philanthropy advice, and building permanent community funds to improve the lives of people in Surrey. The Foundation awards grants throughout Surrey to support the local community and voluntary groups who make a real difference to the quality of life in their communities.
