The fund has been made up of money raised by the Tandridge Together Lottery. Thanks to the success of the Tandridge Together Lottery, which launched in March 2018, the fund available to local organisations increased this year. 10p from every ticket sold goes directly into the Tandridge Together Community Fund for the Council to distribute in small grants.
Later this year, we will be inviting local charities and voluntary groups in the Tandridge district to apply for grants which will be awarded by the Tandridge Health and Wellbeing Board in January 2026. The details will be made available on this page, we will issue a press release and post on our social media accounts and we will notify all local good causes registered on our Tandridge Together Lottery.
