The Surrey Forum is a multi-agency partnership set up to provide
strong and visible leadership for Surrey and realise the full
economic, social, and environmental potential of the county. The
forum brings together partners from Surrey County Council, district
and borough councils, local authorities, the business community,
higher and further education, and the voluntary community and faith
sector (VCFS). It complements existing partnerships and enables
partners to better co-ordinate, align and collaborate as the county
emerges from Covid-19. The Surrey Forum meets on a quarterly
basis.
