Have your say on the future of local councils in Surrey

Take part in a landmark Government consultation on proposals to replace Surrey's current councils with up to three larger authorities. We support a three unitary approach - Find out more and read our consultation question guide.

Join us for a special online engagement session hosted by the Leaders of Guildford and Waverley Borough Councils on Thursday 3 July from 7pm to 8pm via Microsoft Teams. We'll explain what Local Government Reorganisation is, outline the different options being considered, and show you how to get involved. Sign up for the session (opens new window).

Apply for the Mayor of Guildford's Local Support Fund

How do I apply?

You cannot apply for yourself. A person or organisation must refer you and apply on your behalf.

The application will ask for personal and financial information such as:

  • your contact information
  • details of living arrangements
  • your financial situation
  • details or income and expenditure
  • your health

We use this to help us assess your application. We'll ask your referrer to show they have permission to share your personal details.

We aim to turn applications around within five working days.

How the referrer can apply

  1. email civicsecretary@guildford.gov.uk asking for the link to the Mayor's Local Support Fund online form.

For the application, you'll need to upload:

  • a supporting letter
  • a quotation, proforma invoice or screenshot of the item/s you are applying for funding for
