A fund set up to help people affected by the recent flooding has raised more than £32,000 in less than two weeks.

Two companies, 38 Degrees and Wates Giving, have donated a total of £30,000 to the Surrey flood recovery appeal, launched by the Community Foundation for Surrey.

Members of the public have also chipped in and donated more than £2,700.

The appeal was launched to help people and communities recover from the flooding which hit the county earlier this month.

Wendy Varcoe, executive director of the Community Foundation for Surrey, said: “We are delighted with the generosity of local people and businesses who want to help people in their time of need.”
