Twenty-five local organisations from the voluntary and community sector were awarded funding from East Surrey Place (ESP) to provide health and wellbeing support. The grants of up to £10K include organisations in Reigate & Banstead and Tandridge areas.

East Surrey Place is a partnership of health and care organisations –
including Reigate & Banstead Borough Council and Tandridge District Council – working together to plan and deliver services that improve the health and wellbeing of local communities.

In February 2022, Reigate & Banstead Borough Council was asked to set up and administer a Creating Healthy Communities (CHC) grant fund – managing £134,000 from ESP – to support the delivery of the Prevention and Communities Programme across East Surrey.

This programme aims to help people stay well by working together to prevent illnesses and create conditions to enable everyone in East
Surrey to improve their own health and wellbeing.

The CHC grant funding was used to support initiatives in the ESP region, which covers the Reigate & Banstead area south of the M25 and the whole of the Tandridge District Council area.
