Surrey Community Resilience Grant

Surrey’s Community Resilience Programme 2026 offers funding and expert support to help groups develop and deliver local resilience action plans.

Across Surrey, communities are experiencing increasing risks from extreme heat, flooding, and wildfire. These risk bring significant negative impacts to our residents’ health, our young people’s learning, our critical infrastructure including roads and rail networks, and our local economy.

Much of Surrey’s infrastructure is dated, or was not built to withstand some of the conditions we are now experiencing, and these risks are projected to increase in frequency and severity as the atmosphere continues to warm due to climate change. These two factors combine to put our communities at risk across the county.

The Community Resilience Programme 2026 is open to Parish and Town Councils, as well as other groups in the community to develop locally focused action plans that strengthen resilience to climate impacts.

The are 2 key parts to this programme:

• Community Resilience Toolkit: created by Surrey County Council, Surrey Fire & Rescue, and Surrey Prepared, supports you in creating a local resilience plan focused on your specific risks
  
• Community Resilience Grant: Once you have a completed resilience plan, you can apply for grant funding to delivery projects identified in your plan, to help protect people and places in your community from future risks

Resources are being added to a google drive as they become available. If you require anything specific or have questions…
