Your Station, Your Community supports local charities, their customers and the communities on participating train lines. Southern Railway and Govia ThamesLink are both part of the campaign.
The funding focuses on causes that are of key importance to local communities and to the train operators themselves.
Projects based up to 15 miles from stations on the Southern Railway and Govia ThamesLink network are eligible – Wimbledon, Clapham Junction and Croydon are within this reach from Richmond.
The Fund welcomes applications from registered charities, community groups, other not for profit organisations such as rail user groups, and schools.
The themes for the fund are:
- Enhancing stations to be a welcoming environment
- Positive mental health
- Education and employability skills for marginalised groups
- Diversity and inclusion
- Environmental Sustainability
Up to 25% of the costs for your project can be attributed to core costs.
The closing date for application is 11.59pm on 30 July 2022.
The funds awarded can be spent from April 2023.
