Services provided by volunteers could save the council money.

The Tory budget is proposing to cut grants to voluntary organisations in Surrey by £838,000. This means a significant reduction in the money available to organisations that have a fundamental role in supporting Surrey residents and will cause an already fragile sector to fail in key areas.

The Liberal Democrat Group on Surrey County Council is committed to using money as effectively as possible, to listen to residents views and to protect the most popular services.
