Your Station, Your Community Improvement Fund

  • Tweet
Tuesday, 28 June, 2022

Govia Thameslink Railway have today announced a new community fund ‘Your station, Your community’.  They are looking for applications to support these themes.

Enhancing stations to be a welcoming environment

  • Regenerating redundant station spaces for community hubs, providing space for activities that enrich the local community and bring station estate back into use. Creating a welcoming ambience to stations enhancing customers’ experience. 

Positive Mental Health

  • Mental health activities that encourage working with local partners to signpost people to support services or initiatives that have a positive impact on people’s wellbeing. Connecting people together to take positive action to prevent suicide, an issue that has devastating and far-reaching impact on staff, customers and communities. 

Diversity and Inclusion

  • Supporting diverse and inclusive community projects, creating opportunities for learning and the social mobility of more marginalised groups. Their ambition is to create an inclusive culture where customers and colleagues feel able to be themselves and feel they belong to their local communities.

Employability and confidence building

  • Promoting employability and education amongst marginalised groups by investing in the skills development for now and the future, creating a talent pipeline to support the wider economy.  

Environmental Sustainability

  • Supporting environmental projects and encouraging sustainable mobility shift to encourage customers to make greener choices to travel by rail and getting to stations sustainably - by bike, bus, foot or electric car.
