Epsom & Ewell Community Fund – Ten Year’s of Supporting Local Charities.

I was delighted to attend a celebratory breakfast on June 10^th in Epsom, along with the Lord Lieutenant, to mark the 10^th anniversary of the Epsom & Ewell Community Fund. The fund is one of a number of area funds administered by the Community Foundation for Surrey (CFS) across the County, and both Beccy Bowden (CEO) and Neelam Devesher (Chair) from CFS were also present.Chris Frost has led the team of volunteers since the outset and received a commendation from the Lord Lieutenant for his service. We also heard form two local charities of the impact that grants from the Fund have had in helping them in with their work in the community.

Having been the Chair of another area fund, Guildford Philanthropy, for  a number of years, I can attest to how difficult it is to raise funds and raise awareness, but how gratifying it is to see the fruits of your labours. Very well done to Chris and all the volunteer team at Epsom & Ewell Community Fund.
