Creative Wellbeing Fund opens for Expressions of Interest

We’re delighted to announce that Expressions of Interest for our new Creative Wellbeing Fund open on 25 May 2026.

Established in partnership with CF Surrey, the Creative Wellbeing Fund will provide grants of up to £5,000 for one or two-year projects (up to £10,000 for two-year projects) that harness the power of arts, culture and heritage to improve health and wellbeing across Surrey.

The Fund will support grassroots organisations to grow their reach and impact, helping ensure that more people can benefit from creative engagement. As well as funding activity, it will strengthen the long-term resilience of the sector through capacity building and collaboration.

Marilyn Scott, Co-chair, Surrey Cultural Partnership, said: “Attracting investment for Surrey’s cultural sector is a key pillar of SCP’s work and following the introduction of the Surrey Heritage for All Fund last year, which is supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, we’re thrilled to be launching the Creative Wellbeing Fund – which is made possible through the generosity of a group of supporters.”

“Our thanks to everyone who shares our ambition to ensure that everyone in Surrey has the opportunity to participate in, engage with and contribute to extraordinary cultural activity, whoever they are and wherever they live.”
