Waverley’s Thriving Community Fund is ready to give handouts,
The second round of its Thriving Communities Commissioning Fund has set aside £440,000 for charities, good causes and voluntary organisations.
Grants to some organisations, such as Citizens Advice and the Hoppa Bus, are treated separately. The council wants to ensure a more secure future for these vital services.

A total of £442,105 is available, and applications are now sought from voluntary, charitable, or not-for-profit organisations that deliver vital services or activities around the borough.
The first round saw handouts given to 23 organisations that provide initiatives such as a youth club for boys, mental well-being activities, a singing group for people with dementia, and a mentoring programme.
