The Story So Far
We started Invest Reigate to turn good ideas into visible wins - busier high streets, stronger schools, and events people actually enjoy. Every pound raised stays local, and every project is built with our community, not just for it.
Our Founders
Our Story
InvestReigate was founded in 2025 by a group of passionate parents who recognised the need for sustainable, large-scale fundraising to support local education. We saw an opportunity to engage the entire Reigate community through exciting events that benefit everyone.
Our vision is simple but ambitious: deliver exceptional community events that raise significant funds for local schools and charitable causes. This isn't just about the money - it's about bringing our town together and creating something that benefits everyone.
Community First
Everything we do is designed to bring people together and strengthen the bonds within our local area.
Transparency
As a registered charity, we maintain the highest standards of financial accountability and governance.
Impact Focused
Every pound raised goes toward making a real, tangible difference to local education and
charitable causes.
Our Mission
What We're Here To Do
We advance education by supporting educational institutions in Reigate and surrounding areas, raising funds and providing resources to enhance educational opportunities for students.
We also support other charitable organisations in our local area, believing that a rising tide lifts all boats.
Success Stories
How a Weekend in a Tunnel Powered a Year at Holmesdale School
The challenge
Holmesdale School had a clear goal: upgrade their creative tech, cameras, microphones, edit laptops, and launch a student media lab. Budgets were tight; ambitions weren’t.
The idea
Make the Reigate Tunnel Beer Festival do double duty: a brilliant community weekend and a fundraiser with a specific target for Holmesdale. We set a clear aim (£15,000), told the story everywhere - on posters, programmes, pint glasses - and built easy ways to give: token top-ups, a “Charity Cask,” silent-auction lots from local businesses, and a tap-to-donate point at the tunnel entrance.
The weekend
Over three sessions, the tunnel turned into a glow of glass and laughter. Brewers brought special small-batch releases, musicians kept the energy just right, and volunteers in bright aprons handled tokens, taps, and tall tales about IBUs. Holmesdale students even filmed short behind-the-scenes clips - our first unofficial use of a “media lab.”
