We are delighted to announce that 25th November saw the launch of a new project in which Satro is partnering with Eagle Radio – its called The Big Community.
What is the Big Community ?
In essence it will be a “dating service” tailored to matching people and resources between the Third and Business sectors.
The pilot is jointly funded by Eagle Radio, Guildford Borough Council, Satro and Surrey Community Action.
The pilot scheme will focus on Guildford and its immediate communities. The longer term plan will be for other towns across Surrey to invest and provide this service and opportunity to their communities.
