The Merrow Residents’ Association (MRA) has been in existence for over 50 years and provides a focus for Merrow (a village near Guildford in Surrey) on the community, environmental, planning, historical and local issues and has a membership of about 500 people.
It is served by a voluntary committee that acts in an apolitical manner to help ensure that Merrow retains its present unspoilt and attractive appearance. If you wish to know more about us and what we do please contact the chairman@merrowresidents.org.
Members, please contact the secretary@merrowresidents.org with your name and address if you wish to be added to our email list.

The new planters outside the Horese & Groom pub for 2025 are looking very nice. Thanks to Edwins Clandon Park for the plants and to the team of residents who gave their time to plant them up and then continue to water and look after them.
Members of the MRA and representatives from Guildford Borough Council gathered recently for the ceremonial opening of the new bench at the bottom of Merrow Street.

Guildford Food Bank – can you help us find a workspace?
Guildford Food Bank serves over 1,000 local families each year, coordinated by a small staff team of three and more than 100 volunteers. Every parcel we deliver, every volunteer we support, and every family we help, starts with the work our staff team does behind the scenes.
We’ve recently lost the office space we used to meet and work together, and we’re looking for somewhere new. All we need is room for three desks a couple of days a week – ideally in or near central Guildford. The food bank itself is full to the rafters with the food our generous community donates, so there’s no room for us there!
If you work somewhere with a bit of spare space, or you know someone in the Guildford area who might be able to help, we would love to hear from you. Please contact jessica@guildfordfoodbank.org
See Guildford Food Bank for more ways to make a donation.
