The Surrey Economic Growth Fund was launched by Surrey County Council in April and is made up of a range of pooled funding streams including the government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund and Rural England Prosperity Fund. Following a highly competitive process, close to £2 million has been awarded in round one of the Fund with the aim of unlocking significant match funding and private investment. Collectively, the grants will provide an economic boost worth millions and create or safeguard hundreds of local job opportunities.
