The Residents’ Association has a small fund available to provide grants for suitable local projects. The SRA supports Sanderstead organisations in their work in the community. In particular those that help the elderly and the young, encouraging activities in the Scouts, Guides and taking part in sport. We also support the “Friends” organisations who work to maintain and improve our local open spaces.
