A survey is now open for young people across Woking to have their say on what improvements they would like to see made to the service provision for young people in the borough.

Produced by the Woking Youth Action Group, a collection of individuals from local government, faith, business and third sector who are interested in improving and advocating for Woking’s Young people, driven forward by Woking Borough Council’s Family Support Team, questions will determine the needs, interests and issues of the respondents and whether they access the services currently available to them, or not. The survey also hopes to ascertain how safe young residents feel in Woking.

The survey is open to young people from all backgrounds who live, work or are educated in Woking Borough and are aged 10 to 25. It is confidential and anonymous and can be completed online by visiting

Closing date for replies is 21 August 2020.

Notice re Covid-19

We hope you are all keeping safe and well and following the advice of the Government's medical advisors as closely as possible.

Many of you will be self-isolating or experiencing difficulties in shopping for or obtaining essential goods and so we would remind you that in Knaphill we have an amazing range of local shops that are still regularly restocked with things you may not be able to get in the bigger supermarkets. Let's try and support our local retailers and trades as much as possible at this time.

We also have a very strong sense of community in this village, so none of you need feel alone. As well as The Knaphillian FB page that we invite you to use to share information and ask for help and that of the Knaphill Community (), there is an excellent platform for sharing information and asking for help at the Next Door site:

A group calling itself Woking Corona Virus Support and Mutual Aid has also been set up on Facebook: (https://facebook.com/groups/209650690112938/…)

Its purpose is to help people and share information, so if you are on Facebook and need help or can help other people, join this group please.

For the moment we will be suspending editorial features in The Knaphillian but will be back as soon as possible to share information about the wonderful people of this village and the trades, clubs and services they provide.

Stay safe and well everyone. ... See MoreSee Less

Would you know how to use a public access Defibrillator in an emergency (or even know where to find one)?
The Knaphillian is proud to publish an essential read on finding and using public access defibrillators.

The most common cause of a cardiac arrest is a life-threatening abnormal heart rhythm called ventricular fibrillation (VF). Ventricular fibrillation happens when the electrical activity of your heart becomes so chaotic that the heart stops pumping and quivers or 'fibrillates' instead. It can sometimes be corrected by giving an electric shock through the chest wall, by using a device called an AED or defibrillator.

AEDs can be used by any member of the public (using a public access defibrillator) and does not require any training as the AED unit will provide self-explanatory voice commands.

Written by Conor Maher, team leader at Woking Community First Responders, this article can be accessed by clicking the link here: https://theknaphillian.co.uk/https-theknaphillian-… or visiting and clicking on the Knaphill Ian graphic. ... See MoreSee Less

Simon tells the story of our 100 million+ year love affair with bees and how we can help to increase numbers of some vulnerable species by growing the right sort of plants in our gardens and creating some areas bees can use as hotels.

Today in the 'Knaphill Ian' segment of our site, we uploaded a post titled 'A mate doesn’t let a mate drink or drug drive', following a neighbourhood newsletter from Surrey Police which highlights the launch of their summer drink and drug drive campaign.
We have also included some details you might not know from drinkaware.co.uk about how we are affected by alcohol and how many units drinks contain. Some of it is surprising.
It's an important message that we would urge you to read. We all love to have fun, but let's stay safe. ... See MoreSee Less
