Manby Lodge School Artificial Pitch & Garden Area - £17,000 (matched by £15,000) – score 74% The application is to install an artificial grass pitch and enlarge the garden area. The project would replace the ball court area with weather resistant facility that can be used throughout the year, as well as a larger garden space for outdoor learning.  These new facilities would be utilised by the students as well as the community outside of school hours.

Heathside School Paved Area & Outdoor Shelter - £58,859 (matched by £47,000) - score 74% The application is to install a canopy and paved area to create an outdoor shelter. Area that is created would provide the additional space needed for lunch, breaks and outdoor learning, as all students currently attending aren’t able to fit within the dining hall at one time. The new shelter would also be rented out for community use outside of school hours. The school has had successful applications to the Weybridge Local Spending Board, in 2016 receiving £18,000 to improve cycle storage and in 2017 receiving £2,000 for cycle racks, as well as to the Elmbridge Strategic Spending Board in 2019 receiving £330,000 for modular temporary block replacement.

High Street Streetscape Project - £128,000 (Not match funded) – score 70% This application is to deliver the standard required for materials, electrical and water requirement for the project.  These upgrades will be delivered during construction and installation of the various components.  The project will deliver an improved town centre space for the community and businesses.

The museum had a successful application to the Weybridge Local Spending Board in 2015 receiving £25,000 toward the Aircraft Factory & Race Track Revival Project. Broadwater Lake Surveys - £31,200 (no matched funding) – score 64% The application is to carry out two surveys of the lake.
