During the Covid-19 emergency, Dorking Town Partnership (the BID) is working closely with Mole Valley District Council to support our local businesses.

We’ll be publishing and updating accurate and timely information for our business community, our customers, and Dorking’s many friends from further afield, and we’ll be standing up for Dorking for as long as this crisis continues.

For the latest advice for businesses, and a summary of all the government-mandated assistance that is being made available, click on this link.

Specific government-funded small business grants are available through local authorities for companies and traders in the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors where rateable value falls below various thresholds. To apply for your grant from MVDC, click on this link.

Many of Dorking’s independent and chain shops, cafes and restaurants are continuing to provide invaluable services for local customers. These include home delivery of food and other essentials, shops that are open for business continuing to trade as mandated by the government, and shops that are continuing to trade online.

To support local businesses and their employees, click on one of the links below.

These are exceptionally challenging times, and we will continue to update the information on this page for everyone who lives and works in Dorking and its environs. We won’t be updating the rest of the site until the emergency ends, but in the meantime, if you have any questions, or you have services you’d like us to publicise, please contact charlotte@dorkingtownpartnership.co.uk.
