SURF Awards Shared Learning Workshops

The SURF Awards provide an opportunity for regeneration projects of all sizes to demonstrate value to funders and partners, support team-building and develop a national profile.

SURF connects and provides services to 300 cross-sector member organisations and over 3000 individual contacts.

We draw on the views, experience and knowledge of that diverse network to positively influence policy and practice in community regeneration across Scotland.
