Tandridge Together Community Services Committee has agreed to increase the overall funding of the Tandridge Together Community Fund from £20,000 to £30,000.

Last year, the Committee awarded grants of up to £2,000 to local charities and voluntary groups, who worked to improve the health and wellbeing of people living in the district.

£23,000 of the fund was raised by people buying tickets for the Tandridge Together Lottery.

The increase means that more local charities and groups can benefit from the funding.
