Claire Coutinho, MP for East Surrey, is seeking donations to support work to address social isolation amongst people in Tandridge and East Surrey.

Until June 2024, every pound donated to The Friendship Project goes even further with matched funding of up to £2000, which has been made available thanks to Surrey County Council and Community Foundation for Surrey.

This simply means that, with your help, raising £2,000 becomes £4,000, and we are, therefore, able to support more worthy causes and charities, particularly during these trying and challenging times.

The Need

"Social isolation is when you feel alone (even if you are surrounded by people) and not part of social or cultural groups and activities. Feeling isolated can often have a negative effect on a person's mental well-being. There are many things that can increase feelings of social isolation including bereavement, relationship breakdown, role change, job less, having a baby, moving home, social anxiety, or shyness."
