One of SURF's main activities is the annual SURF Awards for Best Practice in Community Regeneration, which has been running since 1998.[2] The SURF Awards are delivered in partnership with the Scottish Government.[3]

SURF also operates a programme called the Alliance for Action, which supports practical regeneration activities in several Scottish places including Govan, Kirkcaldy and Rothesay.[4]
