The Surrey Crisis Fund is a discretionary fund run by Surrey County Council.

It provides financial help to Surrey residents who have nowhere else to turn in an emergency or following a disaster. It also can provide assistance to set up a home in the community where no other funds or resources are available.

What help is available?

The fund can provide support for immediate needs after a disaster or in an emergency, where no other options are available. We may be able to assist with:

• food and toiletries
• essential white goods and furniture; please note we do not provide replacement items
• certain utilities
• emergency travel costs (hospital appointments, job interviews, etc)

Other support may be available and this will be considered when you apply.

Repeat applications will be considered but the fund aims to support people for one occasion and signpost to long-term help to prevent ongoing need.
