This new monthly art group is aimed at encouraging local dads, step-dads and other male carers to do art and craft activities with their children. The group has been started by Merstham dad Glyn Elliott and funded by Merstham Community Facility Trust.
The sessions run on the last Saturday of each month between 10.00 and 12.00 at the Merstham Community Facility, 44 Portland Drive and are free of charge. The next session will be on Satuday 27th March.

Youngsters in Merstham will soon be able to benefit from a new and improved playground at Brook Road Open Space. Work to install the new play equipment is set to start on Monday 8 March 2010 and will be complete just in time for the Easter holidays.

Reigate & Banstead Youth Council (RBYC) is calling on the borough’s young people to bid for a share of £65,000 to help fund activities and projects that will benefit other young people in their community.
The money, allocated by the government, is to enable young people to have a greater choice and influence over provision and facilities in their local community, particularly those who are ‘disadvantaged’.
