How To Give
Meet our donors
We have 45 different named funds with a variety of donors giving to a huge variety of causes and needs. We would like to thank them all for their generosity; their giving makes a big impact on our local communities. Find out more about some of the donors we work with:
Birtley House Fund
The Whalley Family who own and manage Birtley House.
"As owners of probably the oldest family-run care home in the world we were looking for ways of developing an interactive route to charitable giving that could link the residents of the home to worthwhile, local charities. It is important for their quality of life that our residents feel involved with the community and it was just this aspect that first excited us about the work, then in its infancy, of the Surrey Community Foundation in 2006. When we discovered that Surrey was one of the last counties to embark on this work we felt that we had to do our best to encourage the development of the Foundation and soon found that our residents were very much in agreement. Although our Fund is not large it has managed to support the work of several local charities (all approved in advance by our residents) and has continued to raise funds each year to support their on-going work or specific projects. That we have made enduring friendships with some of the beneficiaries is a huge additional bonus for everyone at Birtley House."
