Your Fund Surrey
We have registered with Surrey County Council's Your Fund Surrey scheme for a grant of between £250,000 and £1,000,000. If successful, we will use the funds to purchase Tice's Meadow Nature Reserve and place it in trust (or similar) for the benefit of the local community.
A detailed business case has to be submitted if we proceed to the next stage. In the meantime, we are asking all of our supporters to show their support by clicking the link below and "liking" our project:
