In 2024/25 we are investing an additional £90,000 to sustain and provide additional support and activities for Farnham’s younger people.
This boost in funding will help to strengthen the outreach support that already exists for younger people from existing organisations.
Younger people’s holiday activities
This year, we have awarded grants of £20,000 to organisations in Farnham to run free school holiday activities for younger people of all ages, especially those that may be financially disadvantaged.
This money has helped to fund the following activities:
