Promoting personal health and wellbeing
We want everyone in Elmbridge to have the same opportunity to live an independent, healthy life.
We fund local projects that support healthy eating, exercise and mental health, and make our allotments and green spaces available for local people and community groups to enjoy.
In 2020/21
389 local people used our allotments to grow fruit and vegetables and for exercise.
£6,000 of direct grants helped people across Elmbridge to access physical or mental health support.
10 community grants and 2 delegated funds supported local projects including football coaching, meals for young carers and counselling services.
“I have three boys that attend the football sessions with Adam and Mark. We can’t afford to send the boys to football clubs. The sessions are the highlight of the boys’ week. They say the best bit is to be with their ‘football friends’ even if it’s raining!””
