The Epsom & Ewell Community Fund is a philanthropic fund that provides financial support to local charities and projects across the borough.

As Chair, your role is to lead a Fund Panel made up of individuals with experience in serving the local community. The Fund is an ‘area fund’ under the umbrella of the Community Foundation for Surrey.

The Epsom & Ewell Community Fund maintains and builds assets in two parts:

1. Grants Fund – for immediate grant giving.
2. Endowment Fund – an investment fund for future generations, with the investment income used for making grants.

Responsibilities of the Fund Panel:

• Raising philanthropic donations from local high-net-worth individuals, businesses, and other sources.
• Deciding which local charitable organisations or projects should receive grants.
• Managing the strategic development and growth of the Fund.

Ideal candidates will bring:

• Experience of leading a team of volunteers.
• A passion to improve the lives of local people, especially those experiencing disadvantage.
• An understanding and/or experience of the voluntary sector.
• Experience in fundraising, philanthropic giving, or event organisation.
• A strategic vision.
• Strong networking skills across the local community.
• Professional experience in areas such as marketing, communications, fundraising, events, or business networking.

There are currently eight members of the Fund Panel. Meetings are held approximately four times a year, either in person or online. A representative from the Community Foundation usually attends to provide advice and support.

While this is an unpaid, voluntary position, the opportunity to help improve the lives of individuals and communities across the borough is deeply rewarding.

recently held a strategy meeting where together we identified and prioritised actions going forward.
Top of the list is the need to increase capacity so that we can better serve our clients in these
difficult times. This in turn requires more funding, more staff and more volunteers. We are not
alone as this is the issue for many charities. However we are all optimistic about the future, we have
a dedicated team of committed staff, volunteers and trustees determined to serve our community.”
