Local Project Funding

Apply for funding to support projects that improve your neighbourhood.

About the fund 

Surrey Heath Borough Council is inviting residents, community groups, and local organisations to apply for funding to support projects that improve your neighbourhood.

This funding comes from the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) – a charge paid by developers working in the borough. The money is used to help build and improve the infrastructure our communities need to grow and thrive.

If you have a project idea that could benefit your local area, now is your chance to put it forward.

What kind of projects can be funded?

To be considered, projects must support the Council’s key infrastructure priorities, which include:

  • accessible natural green spaces (SANG)
  • parks and open spaces
  • local transport improvements
  • playgrounds and play equipment
  • indoor sports and leisure facilities
  • community buildings
  • climate change initiatives
  • digital infrastructure 

Projects should clearly benefit residents, align with these priorities, and have the support of your local ward councillors.

Qualifying projects could include, improvements made to a community building, improvements to children’s play areas and improvements to leisure facilities.
