Inside every prison, there is an Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) made up of members of the public from all walks of life doing an extraordinary job!

You’ll work as part of a team of IMB volunteers, who are the eyes and ears of the public, appointed by Ministers to perform a vital task: independent monitoring of prisons and places of immigration detention. It’s an opportunity to help make sure that prisoners are being treated fairly and given the opportunity and support to stop reoffending and rebuild their lives.

You’ll monitor day-to-day life in a prison. You could be talking to prisoners, checking that they are being given access to healthcare and training, or observing how well those at risk of self harm are treated. You will also play an important role in dealing with applications (complaints/requests) from prisoners, which could cover everything from lost property to serious bullying allegations.

The Surrey Hills Society is an independent charity formed 15 years ago.  It promotes the positive enjoyment and care of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is in the course of being rebranded as one of the UK’s National Landscapes. We encourage those who live, work in, or visit the area to explore and learn about the special qualities and distinctiveness of the area.  The Society also uses its extensive network to actively promote the conservation and enjoyment of the Surrey Hills.

At its heart, the Society is a strong membership organisation. We currently have just over 500 memberships including families, organisations and 34 parish councils.  We estimate that we reach well over 1,000 people through membership of the Society.  We have over 70 active volunteers and our total volunteer hours exceed 10,000 per annum.

Although we are a separate legal entity, we are represented as a key Delivery Partner on the Surrey Hills Board and in conjunction with Surrey Hills Arts, Surrey Hills Enterprises and Surrey Hills Trust Fund we are members of what is known as the Surrey Hills Family which works together to deliver the Surrey Hills Management Plan. We also have close links with organisations such as Surrey Wildlife Trust and the National Trust as well as an extensive range of specialist conservation groups and special interest organisations.

In June 2019 the Society was presented with the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service which is the highest award for volunteer groups to recognise outstanding work done in their communities and is the equivalent of an MBE for voluntary organisations.

Our mission is summarised by four words: Conserve, Inspire, Educate and Enjoy.

Aims and Objectives

We are a registered charity whose volunteers aim to provide a forum for debate about the issues affecting our town and borough.

1/ We are interested in following issues that affect our town and surrounding area:

• Conserving the best of Guildford Town, Urban Area, Villages and Countryside
• Promoting high standards of planning and architecture
• Influencing the pace and type of development for the future
• Raising the public awareness on issues related to our Built Environment, Heritage and Future
• Identifying, integrating and considering matters that impact across the borough e.g. Transport Flows.

2/ Our Scope

• Geographically we concentrate on Guildford Town and Urban Area but maintain an active interest on major matters affecting the whole of the borough and beyond.
• We recognise areas in the borough have active and effective local groups whose work we don’t wish to replicate.

3/ We have some key principles:

• We recognise Guildford and environs will continue to develop and evolve to meet the needs of the population, and this needs to be managed.
• Guildford should remain a proper town, not just a commuter town for London, so we need to support economic activity, our world class educational facilities, and provide a wide range of public facilities e.g. Theatres, Entertainment Venues, Galleries, Meeting Places, Public Realm etc.
• The area needs to be ‘competitive’ with other South East areas in the Arc formed by Cambridge – Oxford – Guildford – Redhill - Ashford.
• Guildford and environs should aspire to be a leader in preserving heritage assets and surrounding countryside whilst enabling vibrant and sensitive development.
• Environment will be a key consideration including:
• Measures to encourage modal transport shift, pollution reduction, reduction in traffic congestion.
• Measures to encourage alternative energy, management/recycling of waste and flood protection.
• The town and its surroundings need to be better linked in a sustainable manner, including making public transport accessible and attractive.
• Guildford and environs should be a borough for all and thus should provide affordable accommodation for all age groups.
• We will actively seek to collaborate with other relevant groups on matters of common interest.

Our Mission

Together we inspire a lifelong love of learning, which enables all our children to achieve more than they ever believed possible

Our Vision

To be a first class, inclusive, collaborative and forward thinking family of local academies ensuring excellence in Primary education where:

• Our children will thrive and achieve as confident, caring, local, national and global citizens

• Families will embrace opportunities across the Trust, helping to promote the best outcomes for all children

• Nurtured and empowered teams will enhance expertise, share best practice and have the professional courage to explore possibilities

• With strategies in place for growth, the Multi Academy Trust will develop sustainability, delivering excellent Primary Education in local communities

Our mission is to provide a confidential counselling service to pupils in schools with emotional, social or behavioural problems and to enable them to function more effectively in school or at home.

We believe:

• Everyone, whatever their age, should have the opportunity to express their feelings and concerns.
• Everyone has the right to be listened to in a non-judgemental way.
• Everyone should have the opportunity to be assisted to improve troubled relationships, to come to terms with loss and other life changes and to discover their own intrinsic self worth.
• Counselling provides time to share problems and concerns in a non-judgemental setting.
• Counselling can provide the opportunity, in a confidential setting, to talk with the Counsellor in a way that could lead to the release of long-suppressed information that may be causing distress.
• Counselling can help children and young people build positive self esteem and gain insight into developing more effective relationships.

We aim, therefore, to offer a continually improving service to increasing numbers of school children.
