◼️ Support for local charity supporting older residents The Executive is being recommended to approve grant funding of up to £7,500 for a local service aimed at improving the physical and mental wellbeing of older residents. Strategic Health and Wellbeing Services (SHAWS) applied to the Community Fund Grant Scheme for £7,500 to expand the provision of Strength and Balance classes at local libraries to residents over 65 years of age with long term health conditions. Surrey Heath Portfolio Holder for Resident Services and Communities, Cllr Lisa Finan-Cooke, said: “This is a positive project from an excellent local charity which is already helping some of the most vulnerable members of our community – extending it will mean it reaches even more people. “Despite finances being tight at the moment, the recommendation to fund the grant is made on the basis that the project will help the council to achieve its strategic aims in relation to ‘Promoting healthier and more inclusive communities’, in particular the key aims of supporting those in greatest need and promoting health and wellbeing.” More information about the item at the Executive meeting of 3 December: https://lnkd.in/e5RgjJTV

New funding to help businesses in Surrey Heath decarbonise Surrey Heath Borough Council, in partnership with Surrey County Council and Woking, Guildford, Waverley, Reigate and Banstead, Spelthorne Borough Councils, is now offering a range of decarbonisation support and funding for small and medium businesses. A suite of offers has been designed to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to #decarbonise, save on energy costs, understand their #carbonfootprint and drive down their #emissions. The business decarbonisation offer includes:  - A free Business Decarbonisation Assessment  - A Business Decarbonisation Loan  - A free Business Decarbonisation course and a carbon calculator tool, on a one year licence. Before applying for a business decarbonisation loan, all potential applicants must undertake a business decarbonisation assessment. This will determine eligible projects and allow them to apply to the loan provider, if required. This offer follows the success of the recent Low Carbon Across the South & East (LoCASE) programme, which saw 229 SMEs receive over £1.9 million of grant funding towards decarbonisation or green economy projects. Councillor Kel Finan-Cooke, Property & Economic Development Portfolio Holder, Surrey Heath Borough Council said; “This is a fantastic opportunity for small and medium size businesses in Surrey Heath to get a free decarbonisation assessment and the opportunity to apply for loan for energy efficiency initiatives such as LED lighting, solar panels, heat pumps, electric vehicles and other decarbonisation projects. I encourage SME businesses to look at the support available. Every step towards decarbonisation supports a more sustainable environment.”                           The business decarbonisation course, support and loan offers are part funded by Surrey County Council and the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund via the Boroughs of Woking, Guildford, Waverley, Reigate and Banstead, Spelthorne and Surrey Heath.

Surrey Heath sees great success in their office and industrial property portfolios. Surrey Heath Borough Council has an industrial and commercial property portfolio which supports the Council’s services by generating income through rent.  We are pleased to announce that our portfolio is almost fully leased. With 78 assets totalling 290,000 sq ft, there remains just two units totalling 4,000 sq ft available in the entire portfolio. Both of these units are under offer and the leases are expected to complete shortly.   There is also an opportunity to let space in Theta, a premium office building located on the Frimley Road in Camberley. The assets under the Council’s control mostly fall within the borough, and with the majority of the units under 4,000 sq ft, they continue to serve the needs of plenty of local small and medium sized enterprises.  Councillor Kel Finan-Cooke, Portfolio Holder for Property and Economic Development, Surrey Heath Borough Council said; “The Council’s commercial property portfolio is an important stream of income to the Council, supporting our vital services.  We are in a fortunate location in the South East with great connections to London, major airports and the ports, which provides a great base for many businesses.  We have limited opportunities remaining in our properties so would urge interested businesses to get in touch with our letting agent Hurst Warne.” Contact Hurst Warne https://lnkd.in/eHY4qswV Contact the Council's Economic Development team  – economic.development@surreyheath.gov.uk
